Instagram's new Originality Score is capping reach on recycled TikTok reposts. Accounts with 10 or more cross-posts in 30 days are now excluded from Explore entirely. Sends per reach is the top signal now. Likes don't make the top three.

Coca-Cola Simply Pop and Pepsi's Prebiotic Cola are both on shelves nationwide now. The category Olipop spent a decade building is officially a four-player race, and two of those players have billion-dollar marketing budgets.

The control room during a live broadcast is the closest thing to real-time brand decision-making I've ever seen.

Every screen has a different feed. Every operator has a specific job. The director is calling cuts every three seconds. There's no time for a committee. The call is made or the show goes dark.

Most brand social media operations are organized like a content committee and perform like one. Multiple approvers. Async feedback loops. Drafts that get softened with every pass until the original edge is gone.

The brands that move like a control room have one decision-maker, clear authority at the operator level, and a culture where the wrong call on Monday is a lesson, not a firing offense.

Speed and taste are the competitive advantages in the content category. You can't have either one with a committee. Pick the director. Give them the room.

The outdoor gathering that runs past sundown without anyone checking their phone is the thing every brand in the outdoor and food category is trying to create and almost none of them can describe how it actually happens.

It happens because someone with a long table and enough food invited more people than the table was designed for. It happens because the conversation got interesting and nobody wanted to be the first to leave. It happens because the setting was good enough to make being outside feel like the right choice at 9pm.

No activation created that. No sponsorship guaranteed it. It happened because a person made a decision to invite people to a specific place at a specific time and the whole thing worked.

The outdoor lifestyle brands that understand this stop trying to manufacture the moment and start trying to be present when the moment happens naturally.

Find the long tables. Show up with something to add.

National Trails Day is Saturday. The Forest Service waived day-use fees on every national forest and grassland in the country. Most outdoor brands will post a generic "get outside!" graphic and call it a campaign.

@Yariv_Tesla @blennon_ What could possibly go wrong?!?!??! 😉

@blennon_ Or... here's an idea.. don't have kids. WTAF?

Random thoughts: Sometimes I wonder if Ex-@YouTube CEO @SusanWojcicki was proud of deleting over 1 million COVID videos to silence anti vaxxers. How many people were harmed becuase of her actions? We can never repay @elonmusk back for buying @X and saving humanity.

LinkedIn quietly rewrote its algorithm on March 12 and most brand pages are still running the 2024 playbook. External links now cost about 60% of your reach. Company pages get 5% of feed allocation; personal profiles get 65%.

@AodenTeoMT This is amazing news until you hit the beat and switch that says there’s a waitlist for the API. *sigh* what are you announcing if it’s not available for use?

@alamodrafthouse Such a special experience.

[Elijah Wood @elijahwood]

For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.

@BernieSanders Can’t build your own, so you steal it from those who do. Good work if you can get it I guess.

@OfficialNBARefs Scott Foster doesn’t belong in the building…much less making any calls.

Whole Foods just named beef tallow the number one food trend of 2026. Seed-oil-free product sales are up 216% in Q1. If your label still says "vegetable oil," your shopper and your retail buyer have both already noticed.

The marquee on that theater has been changed by hand since 1967. The person doing it now learned from the person who did it before them.

The street it sits on has been through three different economic eras. The businesses around it have turned over completely more than once. The theater is still there, still lit, still running the same schedule it's run for fifty years.

Durable civic institutions don't survive because they're protected. They survive because they do something specific for a specific community and they show up consistently enough that the community builds its calendar around them.

The policy conversation about saving Main Street always misses this. You don't save the theater with a grant. You save it by going. By bringing someone who hasn't been. By making it the thing you do on a Thursday instead of the thing you mean to do someday.

The marquee will get changed again next Tuesday. Show up before then.

The studio setup is the easiest part of content production and the part most creators spend the most time optimizing.

Light stand, backdrop, tripod, remote trigger. Everything in its place. Everything dialed in. And then the hard part: having something worth putting in front of the camera.

The studio doesn't make the content better. It removes the excuses. Once the setup is right, there's nothing left to blame for a bad take except the take itself.

That's why most creators don't actually want a great studio. A mediocre setup is useful cover. The ring light was off. The audio was muddy. The backdrop had a wrinkle. When the setup is dialed in, the work is the only variable.

Build the studio. Then face the actual problem.

National Trails Day is this Saturday June 6 and every national forest is fee-free. Yosemite, Glacier, and Arches also dropped timed-entry reservations for the summer. More people can get out than any summer in recent memory.
