General interests include advertising, psychology, politics, negronis and jazz. Sometimes all at once.

@mweigel Fully aligned with you breaking this vow. 😏

@Robertc1970 Do you think our need for immediacy has contributed to this “cultural stasis”?

Meaning: we no longer have the patience to wait for art/music/film/etc. to evolve, percolate, or become a “cultural artefact”. So we revert to the familiar as a way of guaranteeing an instant hit.

This bit resonated.

Change ‘games’ for (big) marketing, music, tech or film and the article still works. In fact, if it wasn’t for fashion - some fashion - we’d be starved of all intoxicating, infectious and beautifully insane exploration. https://t.co/FfBpk5zRAw

#EmpireOfPain was a fantastic read.

A Venn diagram of familial ambition, perils of innovation, advertising efficacy, heightened cognitive dissonance, fallibility of our institutions and ravenous greed (to mention a few) this book was worth the bloody wait.

Bravo, @praddenkeefe!

Pretty interesting: the logos for Elon's companies each have an industry-specific background.

1/ Tesla (the "T" logo is a single rotor from an EV motor)

@PG59 Makes NFTs seem quaint. 😄

[KW @kay__wan]

Can't tell you the number of times I've gritted my teeth through meetings where the phrase "we're just being agile" euphemistically means there's no clear long-term strategy.

Thanks for the pointed/enjoyable read, Tom!

@joncrowley Especially those things outside one's sphere of control... now that's the "character building exercise." #SerenityPrayer

No matter how great an idea is, if it isn't socialized and positioned appropriately to the people who *really* matter, you're buggered!

Instructive read about the ownership and operations of football (post ESL-gate). Nice one, @stuwdesigner!

[Tortoise @tortoise]

Now the dust is settling on the European Super League idea, was it *all* bad?

Whatever traditionalists insist to the contrary, the current product won’t be fit for purpose for the next generation of fans, writes @stuwdesigner in today's #SlowView

It's jaw-dropping.

@kevinroose’s “EMAIL (Evidence + Motive + Actions + Intent + Labels) method” is an interesting framework for journalists to analyze hacked information. I wonder, how do you standardize this?

[KW @kay__wan]

Fascinating case studies about the psychology of moral convictions - especially its impracticality.

A hard, but necessary, listen especially in today’s polarized world.

@charltonbrooker’s piss-take on how to report the news will never not be funny... and unseen.

Hey, @joncrowley!

This article reminded me of the bombshell you dropped over drinks about “Maslow’s Pyramid” (i.e. how what we know is an “elitist misinterpretation of the psychologist’s work”).

Remember that? #ChatsPreCOVID

@robkhenderson @nytopinion Enjoyable read, @robkhenderson! Interesting question you pose at the end.

My guess: it’s a bit of both especially if you frame the question within Maslow’s Pyramid.

[KW @kay__wan]

Or with an “S”.

[Tabatha Southey 🇨🇦 @TabathaSouthey]

To be fair, many in Canada pronounce "Tucker" with an "f."

@JCPHankins @FT Like oil and water, “luxury” and “utility” don’t mix.

This gem just arrived, @markpollard! Can’t wait to dive in.
