I am all for the re-weirding of the digital, @rushkoff.com. Hearing a lot of calls to return to roots of #sxsw #sxsw2025 schedule.sxsw.com/2025/events/...

Legendary TV and Film director Paul Feig! He’s been a part of so many of my favorite shows/movies #sxsw #sxsw2025

Been watching old SNLs on TBD on YouTubeTV. A 1991 sketch was about Clarence Thomas hearings. Kevin Nealon was Biden. Phil Hartman was Ted Kennedy. Dana Carvey was Strom Thurmond.

Tonight in my DMI Capstone, our guests were DMI grads Anne Cox and Nina Gloria of SXSW. They both have accumulated loads of experience in the few years since they graduated. Great to hear them enthusiastically discuss their roles at SXSW and what it is like to work for such a large-scale event.
