Marketing lessons from the Grateful Dead

Of course, a book with a title like this gives us pause--when we think of marketers, we don't ordinarily think about Jerry, Phil, Bobby and the rest of the crew. But that's one reason why the insights are so profound. Marketing isn't hype or hustle or…

But that's one reason why the insights are so profound. Marketing isn't hype or hustle or scamming. It's not spam or manipulation either. We already have words for those things.

For the second time in less than a month, a Department of Homeland Security officer shot at a person in DC during a traffic stop.

So far there have been no consequences for the officers involved in either incident. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Thx #NYCity #NewsService for the coverage of last week’s #iVotedNYC Concert!👇

I’m obsessed w/ 1. Statistically increasing voter turnout via our @snfagora.bsky.social #data. 2. Producing fans’ 1st concert because it’s free. 3. Welcoming folks into our shows w/ free hot food via #PizzaToThePolls. 1/2

WOW to everyone who came last night from the Bronx to NJ & celebrated #VOTING @ #iVotedConcerts #NYC!

📈 #voterturnout is what we do. Pairing that w/ free shows w/ fans telling us it’s their 1st concert, since tix are expensive, is a culmination of community joy unlike anything I’ve experienced. 1/2

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t worry because if they’re detained, agents will “promptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

For over a decade, my Foundations of HCI undergrad course has covered “privacy & surveillance” with a (2002) reading about the Panopticon and a once distant warning about how social media sites could create a self-censoring reality. And Ellison is just… owning/celebrating the dystopia.
Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

While we don't comment on elections, a cap on ticket resales is an idea that artist groups like us have strongly backed in multiple states! Momentum is growing; DC's City Council is expected to consider a bill with a 10% price cap and penalties of up to $10,000/ticket sometime soon.
EXCLUSIVE: New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is calling on FIFA to end dynamic pricing on World Cup tickets.

His petition “Game Over Greed” also demands that FIFA reinstates a cap on ticket resales and sets aside 15 percent of tickets for local residents at a discount.
