A VERY IMPORTANT PSA: there is a Halloween special early voting sticker if you cast your vote today 😭😭😭
A vote sticker that says “Halloween Voter 2025”. In the center is a pigeon with a witch’s hat holding a trick or treat jack o’ lantern in its beak. There are three bats and a witch on the broom in the background

If you see this billboard up in NY, LA, or London, it has my ACTUAL handwriting on it! Still feels unreal, and obviously I’m bragging about it on every platform!!!!!!
A giant digital billboard in Times Square. It features a giant tube of lipstick with “DOJA CAT” engraved on it and above it reads, “is it a crime to be gorgeous?” There is a logo for YouTube in the upper right corner with a date, 9/26/25 written under it. Three large sheets of paper on the ground, with variations of copy written on it in lipstick.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Currently editing down my closet, and it’s honestly impressive how I managed to cram all this into one IKEA cabinet?
A regular New York City-sized closet. There is a top shelf, a space for hanging clothing, a jewelry tier, and three drawers. There is a basket for shoes at the very bottom. Piles of folded clothes to be donated. One stack sits as high as a nightstand. A stack of shoes to be donated

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.
