Can I just say that I LOVE a context-free meme? We should have one every day, and before you do any work, you have to figure out WTF everyone is talking about. But don't give away the answer... like when we all lost our minds for Wordle in the midst of an existential threat!

"When" = a specific instance, time
"Whenever" = at any time or every time

"Static" = a lack of movement or progress
"Stagnant" = not *flowing*, having no inflow or outflow

Please update your records. To be correct. Because y'all are killing me.

They all had blanket pardons in their pocket the whole time and nobody ever gets held accountable.

Technically still #Caturday in my time zone. Slipping these two goofballs in under the wire. 🐈❌🐈‍⬛

Behold! The economic power of shutting the f*ck up for like five seconds ✨

"Cops"-kaesque
This represents Displays of Power As Weakness. An over-armed strike force sent to arrest a paralegal who threw a sandwich. Pathetic and deeply insecure.
The White House posted an insane video of the police arresting the sandwich guy in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.

Folks, WTF are we doing here?

One early takeaway from SaaStock is that stumbling into coding and building stuff for the Internet was a lifeline for a lot of problem children of the '90s. (Me and Dan Martell included!)

Hanging out in Austin today/tomorrow for SaaStock. If you're here - come by and chat about all things social for B2B at the @Leadtail booth🤠

That certainly pencils with my experience so far.

Good morning to my fellow sparkling water girly pops ✨

Polar water is the best sparkling water. That is all.

Go ahead and text me the war plans. I'll ignore it just like the other 858 unread messages. Secrets safe with me, bro.

Don't you hate it when social media is used to create outrage and genocide, when it was clearly made for mercilessly roasting ridiculous thirst traps.

Also, pouring out some sparkly water for the Saratoga social media manager this morning 🤣 gonna be a weeeeeird week at the office!
The definition of 'locked in.'

Can't remember the last time I thought about my measles vax status before traveling WITHIN the US, but, here we are.

Very cool.

The Stones aren't my favorite band - but there's just no question when Gimme Shelter or Tumbling Dice or Sympathy for the Devil or Honkytonk Woman or Start Me Up hits that they are simply the best rock band. 🎸

I'd like to order one tombstone, please 🪦

Signal boost in hopes this most excellent organization finds the right reporter to join their bench. TPM is literally my first and last read of every weekday. Even/especially in times like this when it's tough to know who to trust.

Pass it on. Get a subscription. Read TPM. Enjoy getting smarter.

Karen has spoken to The Manager and, well, woe be unto thee who doesn't hop to it when preparing her Venti PSL.

Masks are all off now. Hell is empty.
Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"

This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

One thing you may not know about me is that I still regularly rock tf out to "Mother Mother" by Tracy Bonham on a near daily basis in the year of our Lord 2025.

Like Doechii's fierce growl, screaming "Everything's FIIIINE" is downright therapeutic some days 👩🏻‍⚕️💊

Had to do a quick explainer on how most of the incomprehensible digital behaviors of Boomers and GenXers on the team trace back to our early careers under the Microsoft Monopoly.

If you worked in an office before Gmail existed, or have a personal relationship with Clippy - you know what I mean. 🤪

Consider the resources needed to accomplish each of the following:

Stop them

Find out what happened

Tell public what happened

Restore what has been lost

Make those injured whole

Hold offenders to account

Ensure it can't happen again

Care for those in the fight

We are going to need everybody
