Annoyingly deluged with ads for the upcoming election, but actually kind of shocked and pleased to see that every single politician with adspend is platforming Medicare for All.

didn't proctor and gamble cut their sm adspend with no hit to sales
If I was in a big corporations comms shop I would wonder if the headache of having a social media presence at all is even worth it in the future
Seeing a lot of posts on here tonight questioning why any organizations stay on X after Grok went on an antisemitic posting spree. Remember, Trump’s FTC is investigating watchdog groups to determine whether they tried to organize an illegal boycott of X & other conservative websites.

Paxton's adspend is painting Talarico as a trans ALLY (derogatory).
People are upset with Talarico for the exact opposite thing.

I should also add that brands advertising on The Telegraph should pull their adspend.
The ‘dirty attention’ economy is largely funded by advertising revenue.
While regulation struggles to catch up, ethical brands can and should set a better standard.

Think of the advertising opportunities though! Why have a human tour guide when the highest bidder can deploy their adspend to have this shitfuck tell you how the burger king in Dublin is a must visit restaurant?

I mean, even Ben tried to peddle a few of his screenplays before he pivoted to being Facebook's largest adspend client. Being 13 and getting published in major papers would probably make anyone pretty insufferable.

4. In my 2023 column I said the ad industry is “unknowingly funding the largest anti-trans campaign we’ve ever seen” - this is no longer true. The industry can no longer claim ignorance of this link between adspend and hate crime because of @outvertising.bsky.social volunteers and my column - good

I’m also interested in the role of business in shaping the future of our media. Advertisers fund most of our media. I believe they should express their professed anti-racist values by redirecting their adspend. And I believe we all have a role in spending with brands who invest in ethical media.

On March 02 I published this in Campaign.
I returned to it today to reflect on what’s changed since.
I remain as angry and affected by what happened to Brianna today as I was then.

I wrote about our industry’s complicity in this problem immediately following the murder of Brianna Ghey, a trans girl who was murdered two years ago last month.

How media agencies treat Trans+ people while they funnel money to Meta and legacy media titles like Telegraph and Daily Mail. Funding a campaign to demonise us and make us less safe in society.
Adspend IS funding hate crime. There is blood in the media plan.

It stopped showing Court of Blades when you looked for RPGs, and started bundling it with romantasy novels instead of other RPGs. It didn't know how to categorize it, so even if I tried to use adspend, it wouldn't spend any of it because it no longer knew who to display it to.

The Big Established Charities carry so much HQ and marketing spend it's ridiculous.
I've got a friend working at Red Cross HQ here and her stories of internal politics and adspend are chilling

A VERY underrated reason Dems have spent insane amounts of money over the last 20 years in Miami trying to roll that boulder up the hill (but not the only reason) instead of the SW and MW where that adspend gets you way more success is literally just that consultants prefer to party in Miami.

-the framework is still in play where we're getting real fighters showing up, darializa, abdul el-sayed, adam hamawy, donavan mckinney, like. the mandani method is working and they're scared of it, that's why they're doing all this agitprop and adspend. i feel good about this compared to a year ago

The UK needs to wake up. Advertisers have to act to pull adspend from titles engaged in an ever intensifying campaign of hate against Trans+ people or we’ll be in an even worse place than we are now (and right now it’s incredibly bad). But we only need to look to the US to see it can get worse.
Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

Folgend ein interessantes Biohacking Fazit:
"Ich bin überzeugt, dass 99% von allen "Biohacking-Maßnahmen" absoluter Betrug sind. Insbesondere, wenn es darum geht, mit ihnen „mehr Erfolg“ zu produzieren. Das Problem: Das ist ziemlich schwer messbar, ob das Leben jetzt länger wird."
