This was 10 years ago. And this is the man now running the United States. www.cnn.com/2015/09/11/u...

Maybe Elizabeth Warren is so obsessed with credit because no amount of it is ever enough for her.

In a dissociative ketamine fugue, he once again saw visions of Mars. A handful of patriarchs siring hundreds of children in the red dust.

YHVH Nailgun...did I decide to listen because of the band name? Maybe. Solid Birthday Party vibes though. tidal.com/track/409675...

"Democracy dies in darkness," but then the corpse rots in the full light of day.

It's sad when you crash from your sugar high.

It's not feudalism without plagues

Capitalism is necromancy. You can cast spells that turn the senseless deaths of tens of millions of chickens into indignation at the cost of eggs. You can wave the wand of capital and the exploitation of children turns into the deliciousness of chocolate.

The things this #cat does...

The federal firefighting force is facing disarray and uncertainty as a result of President Trump's executive orders — with wildfire season just around the corner

I made a spy My DNI Because I Want it all to die Before I do. That's why.

It's cold and rainy in CA. The white cat is doing it right. #WhiskersWednesday

The squandering of decency has been pervasive at so many levels. Now, the decency deficit is catching up with us, and the bills are now coming due. What if we found ways to pay down that deficit in marketing? www.ideasledgrowth.com/2025/02/07/p... #MarketingSky

Ear positioning and neck-stretching are integral to cow language. Humans think of the ability to wiggle our ears as a party trick. For a cow, it appears to be fundamental to communication. The first sentence in a conversation with a cow is likely to involve movement of the ears and a look.

Our problems may be real, but they are very, very small. www.sciencealert.com/at-1-3-billi... #awe

What's that saying? A society rises to the level of its own incontinence?

Here's part 2 of the Better Offline DeepSeek eps. I explain how the emergence of DeepSeek has become an existential threat to the future of OpenAI and Anthropic - and how it shows that Silicon Valley is washed and incapable of innovation. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline

When it comes to "content" and Gen AI, the best response is biblical. "Let the dead bury their dead." #marketingsky

Another hot take on "contentism." Content for content's sake makes thought leadership impossible. Over time, it will stifle an entire organization. www.ideasledgrowth.com/2025/01/31/c...

Give enough people enough stupid inventives and you can break an entire civilization.

How do you avoid involution in financial services thought leadership? Involution describes systems that become more intricate and effort-intensive but do not evolve meaningfully—working harder for weaker incentives with fewer results. This little heuristic can help. #MarketingSky #FinTech

"Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as reality show, the second time as snuff film." — Karl Marx

Involution, as defined in anthropology and sociology, refers to a system that becomes more intricate and effort-intensive but does not evolve in a meaningful way. That's internet content in a nutshell. www.ideasledgrowth.com?mailpoet_rou...

Effective #thoughtleadership demands both flawless production and strategic distribution. Success hinges on taking owned channels beyond the basics and prioritizing targeted, one-to-one outreach over mass engagement. Link: www.ideasledgrowth.com/2024/11/22/c...

Content marketing often lacks a true “theory of mind.” The typical jabber of the content-industrial complex doesn't consider the complex mental states of decision-makers. But effective thought leadership can be an alternative driven by empathy. www.ideasledgrowth.com/2024/11/15/p...

I want to do more on Bluesky, but not sure what it takes to engage people when you're at less than 10 followers!

This cat!

Hear the phrase “eating content” in 2024, and you’re likely expecting a screed against AI. But that’s not it. It's the contentification of content that is eating itself. the-graceful-thought-leader.syncresis.com/whats-eating...
