@michaelmiraflor I love a bowl but I’d say Sweetgreen is the quintessential slop bowl because it’s not very good and there are better bowl options in every city

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

@JeffO773 It’s not its own dialect. It’s also not particular to southside Irish — it’s the same accent as elsewhere in chicago.

“The only way to win is to not play” is true for both nuclear war and poly market

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

Polymarket has created a market that would monetize a nuclear attack amid increasing concerns that bets are happening among government insiders who can make military decisions.

@MattJMcD @michaelmiraflor I was hoping threads would be a good replacement, but haven’t found the same industry community/big idea convos that used to be here. LinkedIn isn’t good for it either, although in theory it could be. I doubt it ever will be though.

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

@michaelmiraflor 100%. Just a total lack of empathy from these founders.

Call me crazy but I don’t think we should celebrate the “record in stealth” messaging, let alone tout it as a product feature.

@ac132 @dieworkwear Get real. He’s not extorting you. It’s not a scam. In fact, you’re now grifting by saying you’re being scammed by someone who’s not a scammer. Loser behavior.

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

@martyswant @Digiday Sorry to hear that, Marty. Happy to chat if you ever want to talk about what’s next.

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

@Aerocles @michaelmiraflor Yeah I think there will be some course correction after a wave of cuts. But it prob also depends on maturity of the co, whether it’s publicly traded etc. Groupm ceo said within in 5 years the goal is to have no humans buying media. It’s coming and I worry ppl aren’t prepared

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

It’s Upfronts week which means it’s time for a reminder about some industry lore:

Years ago Vice Media’s Upfronts invitation said “Upfronts are better than reacharounds.”

Say what you will about Vice but they were always on-brand.

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

@michaelmiraflor Agree it's good work. And it's a sweeping, long-running campaign with heavy media spend behind it, which feels like an anomaly on the awards circuit. It's refreshing this has won as much as it has, given so many awards shows award one-offs made specifically to win awards

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

So, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like ("Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh")
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on our gowns?
You need to calm down

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

I love it when a plan comes together.

@michaelmiraflor She is 100% correct. These holdcos are mature companies with slowing growth. It’s why they’ve been consolidating brands. The moment they can cut headcount bc of AI they will, and it won’t be replaced. Already happening

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

@michaelmiraflor Michael, I am so sorry. Thinking of you and your family.

[Maureen Morrison @maureenmorrison]

@michaelmiraflor It was the best Grammys in years and an incredible year for pop music in general. So many stellar albums. These are people who probably only pay attention to what the algorithms feed them and don’t follow music on their own. That said, I did miss the old twitter last night.
