Anyone else feeling frustrated with the Google Home “upgrade” to AI / Gemini?
We LOVED Google Home ‘regular’ - it was FAST. And did a great job overall. But the new AI version is noticeably slower, and all round more likely to reduce us to swearing in frustration. Just me?

NPR on the awful rise in cancer in Lebanon. And including a US anti-smoking advertising campaign that worked.

This nation has the fastest rising rate of cancer cases -- and deaths -- in the world
According to a new report, cancer rates are skyrocketing in this tiny country. What's causing this to happen? And what steps can be taken to turn the tide?

I just read about (then watched) this epic ad lampooning the state of the UK

Amazing marketing “activation” I just stumbled across. Canadian beer, Farnham.
It’s 9 years old but first time I’ve ever seen it.
And it’s epic …

I love the new ad for Irn-Bru, which stars Scottish schoolboy Davis Harvey, who had no acting experience when he was street cast after responding to an email from his local community club in Glasgow. The campaign brings back the brand’s classic slogan, “Made in Scotland from Girders”.

Huge props to the people, responsible for marketing at Hill Dickinson. Getting your name on a Premier league ground, with global exposure, despite being a regional law firm in the UK!?! Not sure how they did that… was it a barter deal perhaps? #EFC #Everton #PremierLeague

A lot of the sites and apps are almost unusable now because of the amount of AI shit they’re using. That’s not what the apartment looks like!

Putnam County NY life perk … “bulk pickup”. Being able to put huge items, including old furniture, out at the end of the driveway… once a week, EVERY week … and in the morning it gets taken away by the garbage men. Just magic!

In my latest post, I think out loud about diabetic “control,” its necessity, and the profound alienation it creates. Features a comic drawing and a story about spilling blood in a baseball stadium. #t1d #diabetes #chronicillness

Shout out to whoever did the Amazon back to school TV ad. Leveraged great insight about parents loving their kids but also not wanting to be broke. And kids not appreciating the meals you spend time and money making for them. Chuckles every time 👏

Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” turns 28 today.
The song “didn’t belong to an elite group of musicians,” said Boff Whalley. “It belonged to people. People at football matches, people singing along — people at parties drinking too much whiskey and tripping over the kitchen chairs. People like me.”
