Maybe it's the bubble the algo has me wrapped in but this story seems to have gone a bit under the radar. If true then the implications of all election results past, present and future are now in doubt. Political brainwashing via social media.

If a promise of AI is to enable a day's work to be done in an hour, what will you do with all that free time?

Well that's that then is it?. Good thing companies can't vote. (maybe that's the point)

The debt-reaper has come calling. From the Dish / Directv "Ross-Rachel" breakup (again) to the Brightcove 1.2x revenue fire door exit to a pseudo PE firm and everything inbetween the debt amassed during low/no interest rates coupled with wage and cost inflation has crushed once lofty dreams...

Even MORE media M&A.

As we all get into a titter about live sports on streaming devices breaking record after record we really need to define what a `View` is. There is mega difference between a drop in/out FOMO view versus a full fan, watching (shouting) from pre to post game view.

So far the most popular first post from new comers to Bluesky is:

"Is this thing on?"

On again, off again. It's not you, it's me. I'll call you, really. Don't the door hit you on the way out... M&A swings both ways.

Bets are now being placed on how big the NFL Christmas Day match on Netflix will be. The 2023 Raiders vs. Chiefs drew 29M viewers on CBS. I'm going for over 80M after Tyson Paul hype and ease of access to Netflix total US audience to just rubberneck even if not a true fan.

The race is on for EVs to prove themselves before bio fuels (being developed in the F1) starts to eat its lunch. As great as solid state will be for EV tech it doesnt' solve the time to charge problem - Hydunai's IQ9 is now thinking of EV as livingrooms!

Obvious adult-entertainment jokes aside, 6G's "Internet of the Senses" will be massive! 10x - 100x faster than 5G will transform how we interact with media - especially as compression tech of video is getting better and better.

I really think saying "HALF A BILLION dollars" is much more impactful than "570 MILLION dollars". Either way my thoughts are with all those on the hook for grabbing as much of this turkey as possible next weekend.

Enjoying Bluesky where I can post without obsessing over engagement—unlike LinkedIn, where even a simple ‘Good morning’ feels like a strategic move in the engagement Olympics!

I mean to be fair no one is reading these things anyway... right?!

I just asked ChatGPT what to post here. It said

“Just tried out a new recipe for homemade pumpkin spice latte, and it turned out amazing! 🎃☕ Who else is embracing the autumn vibes?”

To be clear I don't like lattes and never had a pumpkin spiced anything. So who else is embracing the vibes?

The $TTD's new Ventura OS (Apple any thoughts on copywrite?) might just find its first home with a Sonos TV. A DSP building an OS and an Audtiophile company building a TV. What type of child will that make? (cue Duelling Bangos music)

Wait. So actually you DO want separate measurements (metrics) but you DON'T want them in separate providers and dashboards... which is not what is said here but what is actually being said here...

Interesting to see that ( Neilsen) streaming's share of TV viewing in the US over the last 3 months has remained flat. Live sports and the US election bolstered Broadcast and Cable (for now). What happens next as streamers go after sports and no doubt the 2026 election ?
