Everything flows down from the C-Suite. They tell Marketing to increase sales. Marketing tells Advertising to make “creative” ads (but then only approves “safe” boring ads). Then Marketing runs those uninteresting ads based on the number of times a spreadsheet says will get the most sales. They are disassociated from the customer experience, and will likely not be moved by public outcry. They only care when it doesn’t work, and it does or they wouldn’t do it. Sorry.

“77-year old alcoholic falls off bike after visiting his dealer.” But seriously, ALWAYS add a bottle of wine when shopping for anything, people. #safetyfirst

I saw a video from a farmer who said they knew Trump was going to screw them, but that he’d bail them out afterward. They were after that sweet, sweet taxpayer cash.

Sadly, they’ll bitch and get a bailout of our tax dollars.

NOT ACCURATE!! Those make sense!

 

I am sooooo effing tired of sitting through those nonsensical production company logo animations at the beginning of films. None of them seem related to the company name or logo. WTF are they thinking? 🙄

It goes further back than the 70s.

Climate change was even mentioned in a mainstream movie in 1958. Specifically, “Indiscreet,” a charming romantic comedy starring two of Hollywood’s biggest stars of the time, Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman.

In this innocuous scene, the two lead characters (Philip and Anna) have recently met and are out on their first date. To break the tense, awkward silence during a painfully long elevator ride, Anna attempts to make casual small talk with Philip.

————

INT. ELEVATOR:

ANNA: It’s unusual for the weather to be so muggy this time of year.

PHILIP: Yes, I read an article the other day that claimed the world’s weather was changing.

ANNA: Really? That’s interesting.

PHILIP: Yes, isn’t it?

———— Yes, Philip, it IS interesting. And you should’ve shared that article with Anna’s brother-in-law, the diplomat! Then we might not all BE in this situation…Philip! 😡

Get good at something people value. You will always be able to say, “I’m shite at a lot of things, I’m ugly, and unlikable, but at least I can __________”.

It doesn’t hurt to be physically active, too.

Ted just wants those sweet, sweet AI company donations…

 

In 2024, U.S. utilities operated 94 nuclear reactors with a total net generating capacity of nearly 97 gigawatts (GW), the largest commercial nuclear power generation fleet in the world.

 

Put simply, being in the right place at the right time, and having connections, can be as important as having the skills and experience.

 

A waiting mortuary was designed to confirm that dead people were truly deceased. To alleviate the fear of being buried alive, recently deceased were housed for a time in waiting mortuaries, where attendants would watch for signs of life. A bell was strung to the corpses to alert attendants of motion. It's erroneously believed that this was the origin of the phrase "saved by the bell", but the phrase really comes from boxing.

 

From TECO: "With the help of 6,000 utility workers, we expect to restore power for essentially all customers in the coming days. Many will have power sooner; more extensive damage may take longer."
