My totally out of the blue no one saw it coming move I’d love to see Morey make is somehow prying De’Anthony Melton from the Grizzlies.

I miss when marketing was like "Got milk?" and not a maniacal database built to target my specific DNA sequence

Netflix wants to lead culture, but its obsession w/ data means waiting for audiences to validate show before committing to more. Then we get 18 months between seasons. Sorry. Can't lead culture by waiting for it to tell you where to go.

The older I get, the more this comes into focus. The smartest people I know love to talk and theorize. The most successful people I know have insane motion. They get things done. They connect people. They just do things without talking themselves out of it. Momentum is an unlock.
Friendly reminder: the world is run by high agency people, not smart people. Stop consuming information and start taking insane levels of action.

Incredibly sad shit to think about
Peak song from peak monoculture. Chances of this happening 40 years from now with a song made today are slim. Same reason why wedding playlists are largely made up of songs 20-50 years old. Everyone knows them from the time when everyone knew the hits.

On TrueHoop.com we just published @coachthorpe's ten teams in the mix to win the 2027 NBA title. LeBron's 76ers were not on the list.

It’s not just frat bros that are in out of place roles in marketing. There’s a mismatch going on at a lot of companies because there’s a belief that marketing is just about technical skill and not cultural familiarity. Many of the best companies believe that anyone with the technical marketing knowhow/experience should be able to market to ANY demo with a little bit of market research. I don’t agree with that.
i’m going to say something brave. marketing being overrun by frat bros has hurt the function. to be a good marketer, you have to be of the culture. frat bros are inherently anti-culture.

After seeing Zara Larsson at #iHeartFestival2026 she’s moved into elite status for me. Nothing but bangers and an incredible performer. No wonder she headlined Lollapalooza.

Mind boggling the amount of smart people I know who are just dumping personal info into AI agents and tools.

I think Silicon Valley is making a fundamental mistake with personal agents… optimizing entirely for the outcome and forgetting that, for a lot of things, the process is a very core part of experience. Travel is the obvious example. People will almost always never want “book me a trip.” They want to browse, compare, daydream, change their mind, send options to friends, and eventually book. And the average person probably has far fewer recurring tasks worth delegating than the AI industry seems to think. That’s why personal agents feel more like a feature that gets absorbed into existing products than a standalone category.
