Great to present at the 2026 Business History Conference @imperialcollege

My paper on #PR, war-mongering, political corruption, and commercial conflicts feels pretty relevant – despite focusing on the #AmericanCivilWar 160 odd years ago.

Excellent @cjr essay on journos submitting to military escorts + reporting restrictions + censor oversight. Would add that these tactics of #informationwarfare go back to 19th century too, inc Crimea, India, & #AmericanCivilWar

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.

As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.

Go Knicks.

Fascinating look at companies/techniques boosting content and shaping online narratives.

Same plan was there for print sphere of 18-20 century but now with a level of unimaginable sophistication (and sometimes stupidity)

In this Backyard, it’s “win or go home,” and this crew hasn’t left since the 90's.

Last week I did my first podcast interview… 😬🎙️

Very enjoyable experience discussing 18th century antislavery activism and what those pioneering campaigns reveal about modern information warfare and the subtle arts of public persuasion…

Truly a golden age of fraud and corruption… and it’s rarely been so transparent (via @FT )

Genuinely one of the best business stories I've ever read.

Can't decide if my highlight is the porcupine in the shower, the over-zealous Navy Seal, or the dusk corporate airlift😂

Sensational work @EllenGamerman 👏

Few topics inspire more confusion, debate, and disagreement than religious revivals (or lack thereof). This one looks like a pretty big survey screw up 😬
