Dirtbag Backpacker/Recovering Ad Man, Vintage Car/Burrito Connoisseur. Say hi to your dog and your Miata project for me. F*** off Nazis/Go Oregon Ducks!🦆✌🏼🍀
A 1000 mile trip up the Pacific coast, two weeks after being pulled from nearly a decade’s storage. Gotta love these little machines. #Miata #Roadster #Roadtrip

I’m giggling at the thought of these for ad agency pitches gone bad…
It would be fun to have sideline reporters at academic conferences.

Reporter: "Prof. Rothman, how do you come back from such a devastating Q&A? They really hammered you out there."

Me: "All we can do is go back to the archives, find more evidence, and then just trust the process, Helen."

Spectacular exhibit on low-rider culture at the Peterson Museum in LA. Whether you like cars or not, the artistry and craft are something to behold.

My ol’ buddy has spent far too long slumbering in storage. Sitting since the 2010’s. Time for an adventure.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky.

Lessons being taught here. We’re all paying attention, right? Right?
South Korean lawmakers and their staff bravely rushed the parliament building then barricaded themselves inside against 'martial law troops'.

Held a vote to revoke the martial law order, won 190 - 0.

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik said lawmakers "will protect democracy with the people."

Do want. A wave of thanks/sorry goes a long ways, folks.
Bus drivers in Honolulu have a shaka switch they turn on when someone lets them merge and it displays a shaka & mahalo on a screen in the back 🤙

A reminder that places that are journalist-friendly and support outbound content are good for brands seeking a community to share their story with. A bigger far output than paid ads on Twitter.
We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.
Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

Countless marketers across myriad segments and categories have not yet received the wisdom of this memo.
Dear Diner:
Just be a diner. Don’t renovate to try to look fancier or sexier or like something you’re not. Just be a diner. We love you for it, and we sometimes need a break from the “it” restaurants. Extra points for linoleum tabletops, vinyl booths, good coffee, and the definitive burger deluxe.

What's the stupidest thing you ever got in trouble for? I have... a few, some of which I've detailed here before.

But you might not have heard about the time the Daily Mail did a bullet-point scare job on me in 2016, because I tricked Selfridges staff into printing rude words on some Nutella jars.

if fishing was like mushroom hunting, then the Trout would be easily confused for the False Trout, which looks like a trout but is fatal if ingested

Is there a Miata community here yet? Let’s get those MX-5s back in the sunshine.

Giving this site a try. If you dislike rightwing politics, like old sports cars, love wilderness travel, or eat your food in tortilla-based wrappers, give a follow.
