hello. after spending most of my career writing about Facebook in some form or another, ive decided to do a book on the company and those who made it what it is. Would love to talk to employees over the years who wish to share their experience. emails in bio, DM for my cell #.

this is what i think about while half in the bag before bed 🤓.

they deserve it because this is the business they are in, and are now scrambling to figure out how to survive without killing the cash cows they birthed to become the dominant players they are now.

the irony is these companies created ad models that are polluting their own platforms (cf all top search ads for the average Google query) and are being eaten alive by AI searches. now they are all rushing to reinvent themselves before being killed by their own creation.

people are flocking to AI apps because the open internet was killed by the modern digital advertising business model. most web pages are a garbage fire of terrible ads by pure necessity of survival because all the $$$ goes to Goog, Meta and Amzn.

impact and fallout from this blockbuster piece. Two BCG employees who led the project were fired, another two leaders at the firm demoted.

i need some sort of electronic shield that prohibits me from buying things on my phone.

these guys' following is growing quickly and they are very good. highly recommend their first EPs to start with.

do you know how many people in the bay area have "i am ashamed to own this tesla" stickers on their bumpers now bc it is a lot. will you get arrested if you drive through munich and your car starts popping off slurs. this feels. ill thought through. .

less than 48 hours after an antisemitism scandal and they literally want to put the "mechahitler" bot in cars.

RT @Douggernaut_2: Still the best film of the year.

RT @i_zzzzzz: Forgot about Horace Smith's version of Ozymandias. now I'm laughing again.

some of my most intimate male friendships have developed by playing CoD with adult men who i have only ever known by screennames like “Captain Ass”.

this is fine. being on camera — whether you're a pro or not — is a skill. writing is a skill. audio is a skill. i worry in the age of vertical video being basically the only way to break through to people, it's gonna be a lot of straining to force stuff that doesnt work.

been v interesting to see politicians, media and industry in general embrace vertical selfie video. the problem is that not everyone is good on video. and people can spot rizzlessness immediately. (c.f. gillibrand videos, but really most of congress).

checked my linkedin

on a long enough timeline everyone comes for google.

thing that has mostly kept me locked in has been prime video and also some staples that can come to my house that are somewhat annoying to get at the store (paper towels, toilet paper, etc) . but both of those feel like they aren't worth it anymore lately.
