I ran a competitive analysis to see if X (formerly Twitter) was still worth my client's time. What I found was... rough.

Words like: •compliance •enforcement •violations •audit •documentation come from a legal-defense mindset, not a human-centered one.

Compliance is not a proactive word.

The Mike Tyson ad worked because it didn’t try to sound smart or inspirational. It sounded true. No corporate cadence. Just a man who’s lived real consequences talking to people who need to hear it. That’s rare. And it landed.

they tried to boycott bad bunny—for what? joy? pride? spanish? a puerto rican man loving his people out loud without asking permission? if that offends you, you’re not “protecting values.” you’re just scared of culture you don’t control.

bad bunny got me feeling things. you don’t need to understand the language to feel joy that real. it’s warmth. it’s rebellion. it’s proof you can belong without being branded. marketers take note: this isn’t a campaign. it’s freedom.

@oldmanebro, was that you announcing the Super Bowl halftime show?!

I used to think there was a famous Italian chef named Al Dente.
