THIRTEEN YEARS AGO! Blimey.
That time when I directed a bunch of my Twitter followers to get together for #POETRY.
A lot of names have changed, some have disappeared, and some have, sadly, died in the intervening years. Ah, memories.

This gives me concerns about the World Cup next year
When their kids ask them where they were when the Dodgers won the World Series in 2025, some cops will get to tell their children about how they beat up and tear gassed fans celebrating tonight.

When you represent in advertising, you are portraying your brand as thoughtful and kind, especially to children, and this is based on research into whole-audience responses versus ads that just show statistically typical families.
To imagine they’d waste hard cash on looking woke is deluded.
