Just an excellent, honest perspective on life.

As a lifelong Dem who’s donated free consulting to House Dem staffers & visited the White House during the Biden years: I find this so, so embarrassing for us. We complain about the right’s behavior, and now we’re doing stuff like this? Come on, @TheDemocrats. Do better.

A good rule for Twitter health: If you use your real name, And your real face, On your Twitter? Never, ever engage with someone who doesn't use their own name + face on their Twitter.

As a 37 year old man who'd really like to settle down, but has struggled to figure out where millennial women socialize, I've finally cracked the code See you at opening night of Devils Wears Prada 2

So everyone's getting laid off again. If you were just laid off from your job, I've got a little unconventional advice for ya: Do not start looking for a job the next day, or even the next week. And if you can afford it? Take an entire month off. Now, listen—I know we're all in different financial situations, and an incredibly significant portion of our country lives paycheck to paycheck. But I'm also incredibly sure you're wildly stressed out, work too much, maybe even lost a bit of yourself in the grind. You've gotta give yourself a moment. When I went through my first lay-off, I immediately started looking for jobs, and luckily got interviews the very same week. Anddd I was not emotionally ready, and my exhaustion showed, and I even ghosted some interview opportunities. I was totally fried and badly needed a break. Most lay-offs come with some form of severance & paid out vacation days. I beg you, take that time for yourself. Catch up on sleep. See your kids. Pick up a hobby. Go to the gym. Be a person who doesn't dream of labor. You'll be 1000x healthier for it, have more clarity with what you're looking for, and be far more likely to land the next gig. Keep in mind: you will never have this much time again. The second you get your next job, it's back to 8-10 hour days. I know NOT having a job can be stressful, but you've gotta take as much time as you can.

Listen, Nike has some of the greatest copywriting of all time, but “He has arrived” could be the best. Chills.

The first Devil Wears Prada movie is honestly perfect & one of the most rewatchable films ever. Always loved it. Devil Wears Prada 2 is one of the most jumbled movies I’ve ever seen. The script is an absolute mess, the directing is kinda terrible, they introduced too many NEW characters who have genuinely no chemistry with the original cast (every love interest is SO AWKWARD), the needle drops are weak, and they somehow zap all the gravitas out of Miranda. Anne Hathaway’s so charming that she keeps things going, but man… that’s pretty easily one of the worst movies I’ve seen. Clearly a script by committee. A Rise Of Skywalker type of bad sequel.

Current Earth Population: 8.3 billion MrBeast unique viewers: 1 billion every 90 days. That is absolutely bananas.

Twitter trolls in the replies: "ANYONE WHO FALLS FOR THIS DESERVES IT." I hope you keep that energy when your grandparents get scammed.

@Nattelaboty Tell that to 80 year olds.

A harsh reality about the career ladder: You’re never gonna make as many great work friends as you do in your first job or two. Those first 5ish years of careers are special for making friends. You and your pals at work, green & eager (or getting destroyed by work loads and real life responsibilities). Spending your first paychecks on cocktails and dinners you probably can’t actually afford. Complaining about your bosses together. First apartments filled with ikea furniture. Racing when the “extra pizza from the meeting is in the conference room” email goes out. I was at my first agency for 5 years (a lifetime for an agency job), and absolutely loved it. Made many lifelong friends at that gig. Then when I started wanting more money and more responsibility, I started intentionally hopping around—went from $80k to $220k in just 4 years, worked on some major brands, built a strong rep as a leader in social—but as I got older, entered management roles, and spent less time at jobs, I never really did have the same camaraderie as that first job. Really cherish those years as a 20something, learning life & work. It’s a special time.

This is how young pros kill their careers. The DREAM is for one of our underpaid, work-our-ass-off projects to hit big so we get a huge bag on the next job—not because we should ~pay our dues~, because of course we worked cheap when we had short resumes! She’d have gotten that big payday + opportunity now, because she proved her success! Now she’s gonna be viewed as professionally immature for misunderstanding the market—that of course she, and NO ONE, was paid well on a movie that was 99% likely to make no money, but then turned into a cultural phenomenon.

@TaylorLorenz My spot in Fidi has surprisingly good scallion tofu cream cheese and instead it’s a reason I resigned my lease down here
