i heard an expert on NPR say, "contrary to popular belief, AC does not actually cool the room, it cools the AIR in the room," and i'd like to take this opportunity to say NPR, you need to be on your absolute best behavior right now.

Here's my writeup from last week's #DigitalVelocity 2025 conference run by our awesome partner @tealium. Huge shout out to Matthew Gray, Alex Wile, @jtown, Stephen Smith and the rest of the Tealium partnership team for the invite. See you next year! Link below:

@RioLongacre @tealium @tealium is stoked to have two of the Slalom greats attending! Thank you Rio and Heather!

On our way to @tealium’s #DigitalVelocity 2025 in San Diego! I will be speaking on the main stage on Tuesday to talk about AI in advertising and marketing. We will also be hosting a session on AMC and how to leverage 1P data using its connector to Tealium. See you there!

@RioLongacre So sad to hear. It’s such beautiful city with so much potential

I’m in Seattle this week for work. Downtown is something close to a 1:1 homeless to non-homeless ratio these days. Shit is dark.

@RioLongacre Well said

So if you haven’t yet, please go out and vote. There is a lot at stake. We cannot afford four more years of the this clown running our country and occupying the most powerful job in the world. /end

Am I the only one who feels like we are sleepwalking into a potential disaster on Tuesday? It’s difficult to believe, but there is a good chance (50/50) the orange man will win. 1/

The good news is the Amazon employees can still work from home the other days of the week!

I don't know how they do it, but you can add inventing the perfect sports drink to the list of Japan's accomplishments. Uncanny. Tastes like how water tastes in a dream.

I've been to Australia. That was their best dancer.

J. D. Vance? From Vance Refrigeration?

@thogge I appreciate the extra commentary! You're probably correct in that he'd have to run as an independent, as the point I was making is that he'd simply be expelled from the US right for being supportive of abortion and simple gun regulation.

not sure what you want me to say. you asked a q, and i answered it. if you want more thoughts here they are i generally think the leader of the conservative party leans conservative, and even though he holds some views that align with a US democrat (abortion, guns, etc), i think it is uncontroversial to say he would likely not run as a democrat if he were in the US. if i had to put him into a bucket i would call him independent.

between Milei, Bukele, and Poilevre, i am filled with hope about the future. one problem: there is no US equivalent.

@thogge Cool, good chat.

@jtown no

Our lives in a nutshell .

@shawngorham It’s confusing that new bikes pretty much cost the same as motorcycles. Also, folks who get out on the road find that in general, it’s pretty hard to find a peaceful place to ride with all the traffic, at least in most metros in the US.

"We have no idea how to reach our customer" Yesterday I rode bikes with a guy who works in sales at a global cycling brand... Note: Cycling is hurting right now. The covid boom wore off and now its literally repairs only. Shops and brands are hurting He said marketing has no idea how to reach their customers, create new customers so they "just throw money at influencers without metrics to know if its working." He was telling my son to ramp up content and become an influencer - while I am listening in going... son you could build a business around this problem :)

entitled millennials are “quiet nourishing” - taking 20, even 30 minutes out of the middle of the work day to eat food. we interviewed 87 corporate bosses who hate it

Ron DeSantis the minute he dropped out of the presidential race:

@marshal Denver

My wife and I have started to consider the idea of moving away from Texas. Cities were considering: - Raleigh, NC - Nashville, TN (Brentwood area?) - Charlotte, NC - St. Louis, MO (Ladue area) Anything else that’s similar we should consider? We want big TREES, great nature, four seasons of weather. International airport, and ideally country clubs nearby. States with a high income tax are a no go. 5-6% state income tax is max I want to do coming from 0%. Summers in Texas are the worst. We can’t do it anymore.

Lol. Lmao.
