It always amuses me seeing adults trying to understand our kids' slang, especially when they exist within meme culture.
Some teachers banned six-seven?! 🤣😭

‘Six-seven’: what does the latest slang mean (and should parents be worried)?
It originated in a rap song, then featured in South Park, and is now the bane of schoolteachers in the US and UK as pupils shout it out at random. How did it become such a thing?

SNL couldn't have gone more Latino than with this skit, taking a show that every Latin American and their bisabuela has watched since the early 1970s and turning it into a cultural moment that made us feel seen. Unintentionally, SNL gave us something we really need right now — cultural solidarity.

Six things to say to those calling for Bad Bunny's deportation:
1. Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican
2. PR is a US territory
3. Puerto Ricans are US citizens
4. Can't deport US citizens
5. Why such hate for people who don't look like you?
6. Skip the Superbowl or find something else to do for 30 minutes

To connect with your audience, you need to listen. And you're not truly listening if you ignore their cultural context. I'll let my article fill you in on the repercussions.
After American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney campaign backlash this summer, you may have wondered: Why all the fuss? So did American Eagle—and that was the problem. They ignored cultural context from day one. Read why cultural intelligence is a make-or-break for brands today.
American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney Campaign Proves Cultural Intelligence Isn't Optional — Color & Culture
American Eagle's Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans campaign backfired when a portion of their audience connected the great genes wordplay with eugenic undertones, showing that brands ignore cultural context at their own peril. When consumers are 2.6 times more likely to find culturally relevant brands appealing, cultural intelligence isn't just smart business — it's survival.

It's disheartening to see Meta appoint someone as their AI bias advisor who is anti-DEI and anti-LGBTQ+ — antithetical to what they claim to be trying to achieve.
Perhaps it's time we reassess where we spend our media dollars. That is if we want our brands to stay relevant and future-proof.

GPT-5 launched and now "thinks," and delivers the "best" answer "every" time! Look! It even solved the 10:10 clock face problem, where AI generated a clock face set at 10:10 no matter what time you asked it.
Except that what it generated is still fucking wrong.
This is irresponsible marketing.

I greatly admire the Episcopal church and I support their stance. Read the letter: www.episcopalchurch.org/publicaffair...
The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.
