Some of the worst staffers youā€™ll ever meet in your life have never lost a race because their true skill is getting hired on the winning campaign, not getting candidates elected.

Big debates are obviously around steroids (gear, no gear // natural vs. enhanced) and the big ā€˜inā€™ things right now seem to be calling workouts ā€œscience-basedā€ and ā€œhybrid trainingā€ which people really use to mean lifting weights AND running.

Thereā€™s a guy famous in this subculture for having large lateral muscles; his schtick is that he flares them in and like a Jurassic Park dinosaur, usually while dancing to viral songs. And itā€™s genuinely impressive!

Iā€™ve crossed some threshold on IG that took me past general fitness related content and deposited me deep into the bodybuilding & weight lifting side of the app. I feel like an anthropologist spying on creatures in the wild.

The Influencers have taken their yearly migration to Coachella Valley for song and revelry, leaving the gyms and brunch spots unattendedā€”but not for long.

Best weekend in LA is Coachella and so of course it's going to be raining so I can't even enjoy the emptier city.

Weā€™ve reached the part of the weight loss journey where I donā€™t always lose weight every week, but I do get stronger? Itā€™s probably time for me to reset personal expectations.

So you write copy for a candidate who couldnā€™t pick Taylor Swift out of a lineup that makes a deep cut Gaylor reference because you know itā€™ll get engagement and because even if voters and donors know itā€™s not authentic, they also know itā€™s not for themā€”itā€™s for the Algorithm.

Itā€™s no longer just about finding the right words for your donors or voters, itā€™s about finding the correct words, phrases, behaviors, or formats for the Algorithmā€”and if you donā€™t, you wonā€™t even be allowed to talk to the donors or voters without significant cost.

I was about to send my usual panic tweet about moving in three weeks and not having packed anything yet and then I realized thatā€™s ridiculous. Iā€™m moving 2 hours away, this is going to be a breeze. Easiest move ever!

Rebranding one of the most public cheating scandals in British history as ā€œunconventionalā€ is the sort of bold and creative communications work that the Prince & Princess of Wales need.
