Stop saying you’re “building a community” when all you really want is an audience to listen to you, or customers to pay you.
Damn - @beehiiv’s new product announcements just set them so far beyond so many competitors, I almost feel sorry for them. Well done, @denk_tweets and team!
Promise this isn’t a shill. But I do think @beehiiv should partner with us to reach early-stage founders around the world. That’s me dropping my SoundCloud link 🤓
I don’t know what’s happened to @unsplash but basic searches are yielding absolutely terrible results. Just a couple weeks ago it was fine. Are they tanking results to get more iStock traffic? So weird.
So far every spot I’ve seen from @apple’s new #iPhone campaign starring @BellaRamsey essentially promotes using #AppleIntelligence to lie, ending with the most bizarre “fooled them” looks directly at the camera. Is that a great strategy to dispel concerns about the threat of #AI?
Next, @UberEats spot with @officialcera also promotes using their app to deceive people.
They and Apple both feature an insecure protagonist comforting themselves by using product features to deceive, effectively promoting dishonesty.
What’s the cultural shit producing this?
Awesome reporting on the social team at the incredibly effective @KamalaHarris campaign who are both creating and leveraging the momentum around her candidacy. Always good to read a “how they’re doing what you’ve been liking” story.

Leave it to @NBCOlympics to make its hosts annoyingly talk over the #Paris2024 #ceremoniedouverture
Interrupting the performances with oohs and aahs and chit chat is driving me up the wall.
Just let us watch these amazingly executed performances and the parade of athletes. Gah!
Very surprised that the long-memed phrase, “Jump the Shark,” has no results from the actual Happy Days episode from which it was born in the in-app GIF tool on X and Instagram. Lots of actual shark GIFs and some of The Fonz, but no shark-jumping motorcycle GIFs.
My #web3/#NFT artist self was honored today by an uncontested legend in the space, @GabrielJWeis. Truly amazing.
He’s such a great example of a true creative professional, one who’s authentically engaged with his community.

Happy Friday! Today my fellow Stoics, we celebrate @luckylou_art! Make sure if you are a Stoic holder you get your free mint from 9am to 12pm EST every day in July! I like celebrating good people like Luis!
Glitch in #ApplePay on @eventbrite shows proposed charge at every buying stage including final purchase (pics 1-3) but actually charges more once purchased (pic 4).
I know Eventbrite has service charges so I tried to find them before buying, but nope. 29¢ nbd, just had to share.
My @SoundersFC app notification settings vs their notifications 😒
Why are apps so determined to spoil games? Sometimes we have to watch delayed or recorded.
Brands: Ignoring notifications prefs just makes users switch them off altogether, so where does that ultimately get you?
Hard to keep up w/ads @ this party in Vegas, but from what I’ve seen, the ads are disappointingly lame. But it makes the good ones stand out even more. @reeses did a good job playing off product loyalty. @dunkindonuts wins on entertainment value/humor. #PlannerBowl #AAFChalkTalk
I know @Dove’s heart is in the right place, and I totally support the cause, but making a young girl’s body the focus of their ad - using her to sell product - felt uncomfortable in this ultra-commercialized Vegas context. #PlannerBowl #AAFChalkTalk
I don’t want to turn into an #AppleTV gripe account, but if I’m watching an @MLS game 30 minutes behind real time, why would @AppleTV prompt me with an urgent notification that spoils the score, just to ask if I want it to keep doing that?! They’re determined to spoil every game.

The #AppleTV app on iOS is strangely just named “TV,” so if you don’t remember that and reasonably search for “AppleTV,” *nothing* shows in search results. Very helpful.
