George Michael. Do you sing Faith-faith-faith? or faith-uh-faith-uh-faith? Same people. Hall & Oates. You make my dreams come true? Or you make-uh my dreams come true? no one is an uh on one, but not the other, right?

QVC booming on tik tok. "Lo Fi chill beats" is Kenny G Muzak. Gen Z are lowkey boomers.
The infomercial model that QVC honed in the ’90s is thriving in a new way — on TikTok. This fall, QVC became the highest-earning store on TikTok Shop, which saw more than $10 billion in sales in the U.S. between January and October. nyti.ms/482nduS
Faux Jewels and Slimming Belts: Why Shopping on TikTok Is a Lot Like QVC
The popular app’s online marketplace is growing rapidly in the United States, driven by TikTok’s popularity and influencer advertisements that look a lot like TV infomercials.

I've always owned a phone at least 1 generation behind (just went from a Pixel 7 to a Pixel 8), and I have literally never been envious of the newer model.

Okay, Democrats suck Schumer sucks I get it. But can someone explain to me what the plan here was? You're dealing with Trump, who does not give a shit about people and was never going to negotiate, and Republicans in Congress, who only care about not pissing off Trump. What's the alternative ending?

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

The "epidemic of male loneliness" is 100% due to guys being entitled weirdos. It's no more complicated than that. Run PSA campaign on that: "Don't be weird."
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com
Maureen Dowd asks: Can “cool male friendship ads” — Zach Braff and Donald Faison pushing T-Mobile, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson selling Salesforce, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro for Moncler — serve as positive examples amid an epidemic of male loneliness?

This is every vendor in my industry, and decision makers fall for it every time, without ever consulting users. Then find out it doesn't work. Vendors never seem to target end users, only execs.
It’s cool how they run with this story and headline with just a tiny bit buried deep in the article:
“All of Palisade’s scenarios were run in contrived test environments that critics say are far-removed from real-use cases.”

I can't help thinking this was the Dodgers plan all along. Coast, don't panic, get all your "bad" play out, lull everyone into a narrative, and then boom!turn it on in the post season. I know it's not true, but it sure as hell feels true.

TFW you're in the coffee drive thru, tell them you placed a mobile order under your name, there's a brief pause and in that brief pause you somehow play an hours worth of OH FUCK DID I ORDER AT THE WRONG STORE??? in your head.

They say watch a baseball game and you'll see something you've never seen before. Generally, that bullshit. This though? WTF? Maybe the craziest play I've seen. Kudos to the catcher.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
