Hickory Dickory Dock. It’s Andrew Dice Clay on TikTok. It’s so great to see Dice finally get some recognition for this. Great job @zinoman https://t.co/1sKnn9skyM
Andy Coulson was kind enough to have me on as a guest to discuss the challenges that our company and colleagues have faced over the years (and some that we continue to deal with..) https://t.co/y8NZ5MqcJu
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.”
Carl Sagan 1995

@saadmohseni and his team created so many jobs and defined the mediascape in #Afghanistan over the years, takes quite something to do that. The best part is that they aren’t done yet.

#RIP to #TheWalkingMan. He was a true #Chicago character. If you were lucky enough to see him over the years, then you understand why his loss is such a tragedy. #heartbreaking https://t.co/fzdCCTNVIy
