Some news: After more than five years, I have decided to leave @AdAge; my final day is Sept. 8.

It's been a privilege to work with the talented reporters, artists and editors who make up our staff. I will miss you dearly, friends.

@JunkinIrishman @Bearsfanw @nflrums We'll take a 5th or 6th, honestly.

@i_abusharif @Chicago_History And all those pizzerias offer a free 1 liter of RC.

@KiraWitkin @esquire I remember shelling out my own cash for batteries just so I could snap photos w/ a digital camera during my time at a small daily (2008). They were paying me peanuts.

Your dedication is next level. 😅

Keep grinding. Fantastic read. 🙌

[George P. Slefo @GeorgeSlefo]

@TeamYouTube Yes, the multi view. It seems like there are options for all games + RZ (so 2 screens total) minus the Bears. I’m wondering why. Is it because the Bears are really bad? Thanks.

[George P. Slefo @GeorgeSlefo]

@TeamYouTube Correct. I am out of market; I’m in NYC and I’m trying to watch the Bears + RZ only and I cannot do this. What could be causing this issue? Thanks.

@SarahSluis Now I see. So this is how you put together an "ad tech stack," right?

@clare_ansberry @WSJ You had too much fun w/ this one 😅

@Ask_Spectrum It would help to know whether there is a confirmed outage in Manhattan or not vs me DMing you.

[George P. Slefo @GeorgeSlefo]

@Ask_Spectrum @NickMeny I’m having same issue. Internet has been going out all day. Is there a confirmed outage for Manhattan?

[George P. Slefo @GeorgeSlefo]

@KyleBrandt "I would pay." 💀🤣

@tomfgoodwin I personally like to buy high and sell low, but idk.

[George P. Slefo @GeorgeSlefo]

@tomfgoodwin It depends on where you live in the world; what your country's culture is like.

@MelissaHobleyNY is a breath of fresh air in this so-called “ad world” because she is authentic, candid and insightful.

I loved this conversation with @TheTradeDesk @jason_harris @GeorgeSlefo about taking big risks with @okcupid and how that transformed the business. Have a listen.
