Lot of younger folks doing "digital" may not know the name Erin Hofteig. She was one of OGs from mid 2000s; had a hand in shaping the discipline as it evolved into huge presence it is today.

I learned she passed away recently. She'll be missed by many of the old heads. RIP.

There was a week-long media meltdown in 2016 b/c Bill Clinton ran into Loretta Lynch at an airport & talked to her for 5 minutes. Now, a criminal defendant can just pick up the phone, call the Trump WH & not only get a case dismissed, but the AUSA leading it, fired. Media shrugs

There are about 200 partners at Paul Weiss. If a single one of them had any self-respect, that person would be running a version of this in the New York Times tomorrow:

@timjhogan One incredible for each home!

[Arkadi Gerney @agerney]

@MariannaTessel, you're on a thread with the CEO!

I'm guessing this is more Sarah Kim's realm, but she doesn't seem to be on Twitter.

Can you help?

Wouldn't be doing it this way if so much else in Quickbooks customer care system had not already failed.

Thanks in advance.

[Arkadi Gerney @agerney]

Hey @QuickBooks, your customer care team has completely messed up a payroll correction that resulted in your improperly initiating an electronic payment to the IRS for $14,282.40 that my company does not owe. Then you made it all worse by initiating a refund on $ we do owe to DC.

[Arkadi Gerney @agerney]

@QuickBooks @Intuit Hey @sasan_goodarzi, looping you in here to Chief! Help me out please.

Also, to repeat from above, Bryan W. was great and kind. If you put him in charge of all Customer Care it could only improve.

It's got nowhere to go but up. It's really been Kafka-esque these last 3 weeks...

Umm… no.

Millennials is to Obama
as
Gen X is to Clinton.

[Benjy Sarlin @BenjySarlin]

Gen Z voters have no political "anchor" president the way Millennials do with Obama and Gen X with Reagan. They've only had three negative polarized elections with the same R candidate they hate on the ballot and candidates they didn't want on the D ticket. Looser attachments.

[Eric Schultz @EricSchultz]

it’s always hard to get attention for judicial confirmations but the quality and the pace of these appointments is extraordinarily impressive and enormously consequential.

[Liz J. @lizjaff]

[Jesse Ferguson @JesseFFerguson]

Having watch his work frm near & far, this is a tragic loss for his family, for the health care community &, truly, for humanity

The world is a better place b/c he was in it

While he was taken from us too soon, everyone should hope to have 1/10th the legacy he has on this earth

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

Oh no—this is devastating news. Ady was the best of us.

[Rahna Epting @rahnamepting]

This breaks my heart. Ady was a hero to us all. What an honor to have been in his presence, to have organized with him and witnessed the gifts he gave to this world. May his legacy inspire us all to keep fighting the good fight. My heart goes out to his beautiful family.

[Margie Omero @MargieOmero]

This is so, so, sad. I met Ady on a campaign in 2006, and he immediately made everything better. He lived a life of activism and clarity of purpose that we all hope for. My heart goes out to his family, friends and colleagues.

[Brian Kettenring @bkettenring]

Rest in so much power, @AdyBarkan. You will have inspired generations to fight the good fight with fierce commitment, brilliance, love and humor. Love to Rachael and the kids. You were @BeaHero to me.
