I have a feeling YouTube Shorts will be a big point of discussion this week at #SMW. Lots of professional curiosity about repurposing TikTok content there vs creating custom content for each platform. What’s your take?

Happy Mother’s Day to my favorite NASA aerospace engineer who worked on Skylab (+ Apollo + the Shuttle + the ISS): Carolyn Griner 🥰 Mom somehow found a way to make history while also always making us feel loved and supported. A hero to so many, including 8 grandkids.

Finally surpassed 100 pull-ups a day for the first time in over a year. When I restarted this time, 45 felt like it'd kill me, but glad I was able to slowly work my way back up.

A chart labeled "Pull-ups Per Day" shows 45 pullups at the start, followed by slow progression leading to a most recent total of 102.

One thing that stood out to me while interviewing personnel at the Grand Prix here in Miami this weekend was that nearly all of the teams mentioned safety concerns for US races. With events in FL, TX, and now NV — gun violence is a true cause of worry for some team members.

Set up a time lapse and caught one of our monarch caterpillars turning into a chrysalis. Amazing to watch.

That’s admittedly still old, but I think it’s so bizarre that the last King Charles, No. 2, was like “let’s just remake the old ones and act like this never happened, cool?”

Reminder that Britain’s crown jewels were actually melted down and sold by Oliver Cromwell, who (accurately) called them “symbolic of the detestable rule of kings" and "monuments of superstition and idolatry.” Today’s scepters, crowns and whatnot are mostly recreations made ~1660

AI doesn’t move creativity forward. It flattens and commoditizes creativity. That can be helpful as a resource but it also is likely to put us on a path to cultural stagnation.

Automation in late-stage capitalism isn’t about efficiency and creating comfort. It’s about narrowing and controlling the sources of new ideas, reducing the cost and organizational threat of innovation.

If it weren't for AdweekChat, we never would have had the confidence to launch the podcast Yeah, That's Probably an Ad, now well past the 300-episode mark. And I like to think its legacy lives on in hundreds of connections that might not have been made otherwise.

The goal of AdweekChat was to make more people feel like they were directly connected to the newsroom and the industry. I do feel like we accomplished both, and I feel like Adweek became more visible and accountable thanks to initiatives like the chat.

All things must end, and it looks like Adweek has sunsetted #AdweekChat, which I launched on July 30, 2014, during my time as its first social editor. I'm not sad—9 years is a hell of a run for a weekly social event—but am thankful for all the people it brought into my life.

Until the internet existed, my sister and I constantly wondered if we’d just imagined this show. Think our Fox affiliate aired half a season around 1985 and then dropped it.
