Marketing professional here. The vast majority of marketing people fancy themselves “creative” but then follow the same generic thought leadership and tired playbooks as countless others in the field. Since the internet basically killed traditional advertising, marketers have been desperate for a simple, easy way to…

My soon-to-be four year old is currently obsessed with finding surfaces to rest his balls on. We’re a loooong way from consulting with him on any major life decisions.
You take the call because you know the news is going to be the next call and you’ll get a chance to remind the world that Trump is a piece of garbage. I know most of us never forget that, but it’s important to sustain and amplify the message as much as possible all the way to November.
Should’ve stayed in his blind, sipping Budweiser, waiting for Bambi’s mom.
“Benevolent.”
That’s some racist shit. I feel sorry for you that you see things that way. Your world is very small.
Diversity. Inclusion. Equity. Anything less is a charade.
I used to wonder what trick Trump would play this fall if he lost the election and decided he’s not leaving. Well, this is the trick, and it’s already been played. This weekend is proof that the police will be on his side when he refuses to go.
Add to that how few cops patrol in neighborhoods they actually live in.
I work with the diversity committee at my firm and it’s been an ongoing frustration. Our stats are terrible. Rather than do anything to improve D&I, they want to promote how many boards our people sit on. When I try to argue for recruitment, they hide behind being in one of the whitest states in the country. Thing is,…
I used to work with someone who had been a staffer for Susan Collins. She made it sound like Collins is the Kolbuchar of the Northeast. Congress is filled with awful people.
My point is more about how your perception of your environment influences your behavior. Seeing everyone around you as a potential hostile is going to make you act differently than if you see them as fellow citizens.
There’s no gang larger or more powerful or less accountable than the police.
Always keep in mind that a large portion of our current police force is made up of former soldiers who served in war zones. They aren’t trained “to serve and protect”; they’re trained to neutralize enemy combatants. They come home, join the police force, and walk our streets not seeing people as citizens but as potenti…
I used to work with a woman who was a professed “Right Wing Republican” and would have to take occasional road trips with her. Every. Single. Time. I had to hear her rant about how ridiculous it was that the government made her wear a seatbelt. I will bet the entire remaining balance of my credit card (don’t get too…
Visiting the Trump Presidential Library is going to be like the reconditioning scene in A Clockwork Orange. The only way to fully experience what his time in office has been like is to be strapped to a chair with your eyes painfully propped open as you’re forced to watch a screaming endless collage of the worst and…
I have two kids. 3 and 6. We do not post pictures of them online because terms of service make it clear social media sites can do whatever they want with those photos and we don’t want our kids used to advertise Facebook. We didn’t post their birthdates and we never refer to them by their first names. When they were…
People who post their kid’s entire life to their social have no idea how easy they’re making it to steal that kid’s identity. There are multiple generations now who are growing up with severely compromised personal information through no fault of their own.
I’m 100% not defending these people, but the blame also falls to the 700,000+ people who watch these kinds of videos. Without an audience, these people would be far less inclined to live their lives online because it just wouldn’t be financially worth it. We’ve spent 20+ years mocking the antics of the broken people on…
