Just a reminder that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss' tenure began with significant layoffs announced by Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison.

Let’s make sure we remember who and why. Stop thinking this is a coincidence and start realizing the facts of who and why…

If you’re in the Baltimore area, and need to cut food costs, there’s a program run by Catholic Charities called Share Food. It’s basically a bulk buying & volunteer packing community that gets you a 50% discount on groceries. I used the Denver version for years, and never saw any proselytizing.

Illustration of Occtis Tachonis from critical role campaign 4. He is looking down at his abdomen with a shocked expression, while trying to hold his spirit in place and keep it from tearing. His abdomen is splitting open and translucent wings are bursting through the viscera. The head of Pin the fox floats in front of his face, aligning one of its button eyes over Occtis's. "Its not supposed to be in there" is written at the top.

1 - Why can’t Taco just say “sorry can’t help out with $$ but I’ll share it on socials? Why this performative apology BS nonsense?! It’s not the lieutenant governor award. Explaining makes it worse
2 - OH GOD I MISSED THE BIT ABOUT THE BOAT! Sounds like one of the execs at work
3 - i donated a bit

Thanks. I normally don’t have too bad of a reaction to these so fingers crossed that continues. And if not, I have the weekend to crash and recover before going into the office on Monday

Sometimes, I wonder if I’m getting old/behind on embracing new technology.

Then I remember, no (at least not in this case): It’s just that AI sucks.

It’ll never be the money-maker execs want it to be, and in the process, it’s decimating industries (and the people within them) along with the planet

Ryan over on @theweeklyscroll.com and I were talking about how some folks promote themselves like cheap door-to-door salesmen.

As someone trained in branding, there's another way that's more rewarding and more fun. The approach I'm trying to get better at👇

Happy Diwali 🪔 everyone

I am taking comfort in the light Diwali brings during the dark autumn season.

I feel a bit guilty that I've hardly done anything to celebrate, but I'm struggling a bit this year with my mental health and I am trying to be kind to myself about it.
