On what planet does a brand - even @duolingo - think it’s cool to crack jokes about an alleged victim of domestic violence? The Depp fandom bubble on TikTok is very real but no brand should get anywhere near it.

This interview is a prime example of what not to do & will be studied in public speaking classes for years. Jon Stewart often lets interviewees self-sabotage, but here, the Deputy Secretary of Defense unravels before even making her argument.

Yeah, I mean, this is why many far-right influencers exist mostly/only as meme accounts on Twitter/Instagram. Because, if they're actually questioned, they're easily outed for being really dumb.

Andre Braugher and Lance Reddick, both gone in 2023. They were incredibly talented actors, and remarkable Black actors, unafraid to confront race in their roles. What a massive loss, all in one year.

When PR agencies struggle to deliver, they “show their work” - drowning clients in admin, strategy docs & asset requests they know won’t go anywhere. Avoid this by hiring smaller, scrappier firms. These agencies wouldn't have survived without proving they can make things happen.

What's funny about this pullback is that advertisers HAVE come back over the past year (though not at the same spend). There's been progress in re-attracting many, with wins like Apple being huge for Linda. That’s why THIS exodus is such a blow. Elon squandered all of that work.
