i find every story about costco's brand strategy and overall approach completely fascinating.
that's in part because costco feels so old fashioned. the approach generally seems to be, "will this provide additional value to our customers?"

Very smart approach. Of course Dems didn’t take it.
Now that Dems have capitulated, at the very least they should now make every future extension of funding contingent on Trump following the law. Any lawbreaking must be met with: No more votes from us, period.

This question is central to the way I approach covering trans issues.
When folks write things designed to make you panic, you should take a breath and ask - is this designed to make me engage? Or is it actually trying to inform?

This analysis explains Labour’s approach too. Ageing white men must be placated at all costs in all circumstances.
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

I’ll say it again: the Senate Democratic leadership’s approach to handle a bully stealing their lunch money every day is to simply carry more lunch money and see what happens.

Sopranos had the correct approach
Enshrining continuity and canon in pop fiction was a mistake
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

An absolutely kamikaze approach to running a media organisation. I can't see it ending well.

Just gave a lecture that ran a couple minutes short, and instead of my usual approach -- writing FIX THIS and punting it to next year -- I sat down and fixed it today.

The Trump administration is working very strongly to consider exploring the possibility of assessing whether, when and how to approach planning for the non-zero chance that a framework for a healthcare plan would be built.

You may have seen that BBC News online’s Middle East editor is taking legal action against me over my work on the BBC’s editorial approach to Israel/Palestine.
I strongly disagree with his claims, and, if necessary, I look forward to vigorously defending my reporting in court.

The Democratic Party’s winners this week “arguably got more out of affordability than any other approach,” @dkthomp.bsky.social argues. A party that adopts that approach at the national level “is in a strong position going into 2026”: https://theatln.tc/DJXBANTH

No no, that’s the glass half empty approach.
The glass half full approach looks at this and thinks “we can probably go at least 5% higher before the bubble pops.”
