"they think media and advertising are the same thing, and that traffic and audience are the same thing."
Friends, they are not the same thing.
My continuing sense is that people in politics may be very educated about political science, but not at all about media/advertising/consumer comms.

I found my 2009 morning pages while unpacking boxes this week — turns out 35-year-old me was already dreaming of the life I’m living now. Maybe turning 51 isn’t about becoming someone new, but about becoming increasingly yourself.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Really enjoyed this discussion, it felt like the best seminar-style discussion of ancient mythology, modern culture and psychology. Thoughtful, slow and left me thinking. Bravo. More, please. (PS It’s also wonderfully designed from a podcast production perspective, me thinks.)

everyone should listen to this in its entirety but journalists should listen to it multiple times. this is how you ask questions. you just keep asking simple, easily answerable stuff and the evasiveness becomes that much more glaring

ONE parent. And in Florida, ONE man is responsible for 40% of all book challenges in the state. The book banners are a tiny minority. Make that clear by speaking up in favor of the freedom to read. (Email your school board!)
Thanks to @aclusc.bsky.social and @authorsabb.bsky.social working in SC to fight bans. The challenges have been brought by 1 parent who earlier filed 97 challenges in Beaufort County, nearly all of them denied. She's re-challenging now that a state law passed in July 2024 makes banning easy.

My advice for emerging artists and pros alike: it’s time for in person events.
The industry and community is scattered and algorithms are currently siloing us off.
Go to cons, festivals, screenings + launches, and other art events.
While social media is still shifting, invest in face to face.
