never forget the universal rule of the order of things: People Will Not Read It

signs at stores? émail? menu ?? instruction ? post online ? caption with andswer to question ? group hand outs ??? street sign ??? no. The Written Word Is The Enemy

The ability to occasionally Read A Thing will make you a hero in your workplace, especially if it is for example an error message that tells you what you need to do differently, or instructions on unjamming a printer.

how dare you say we put jam in the printer

They remade Despicable Me to focus on Gru's relationship with his minions rather than him adopting children. Also, it was live action. All of the minions were played by bearded men in yellow fullbody suits.

doing anything with technology these days is an unending cycle of going no i do not want to use AI. im not interested in setting up copilot. I do not want help building my site. I would like my autocorrect to make sense again. I do not want AI generated search suggestions. no. nope. still not. die

Thank you Derek, menswear guide, for reminding me why paying more to be free advertising for brands is dumb.

Genuinely, luxury goods are 99.999% name recognition. Which makes their label both the point and extra advertising.

You know what's fun about that though?

That means the people have a huge impact on how valuable that stuff is. Tesla is a PERFECT example here. A lot of people aren't ditching Tesla stock and cars over ethics. Humans just aren't built that way. No, they're ditching that stuff because Elon's name is a joke. Not just evil, but pathetic. The nazi thing is a plus for a lot of his followers, but their car being seen as laughable and undesirable? Well, now a bunch of these guys are using dental floss to remove the Tesla logo off their cars and slapping on Ford or Toyota ones.

So, you know what would be SUPER fun to do? See if we can do it again. And HARDER. There are plenty of luxury brands that have been fully exposed as evil but that isn't something that decreases the value for the kind of people who buy them. Rich people really don't care, because, for them, inspiring hate is just as satisfying as inspiring envy. The one thing that they CANNOT deal with inspiring is laughter.

Not that I have ANY idea how to run a massive campaign to do this. But I'd be FASCINATED to see if it can be done intentionally and so very publicly again. Boycotts based on ethics are great! But as far as I know, none of them have EVER been as powerful as the fall caused by Musk's loss of reputation just was.

“On the one hand, I feel like I’ve been doing this forever. On the other hand, I know I’m just getting started. Even though the world might consider a woman in her late 30s old for a pop star — which is insane — I promise that I’m just getting warmed up.”
