The Thing is one of my top 10 favorite movies. An absolute masterpiece.

My post had more to do with Stephen Colbert getting canceled and how all diversity and inclusion efforts have been abandoned by agencies. After exploiting them for awards, of course.

Things are looking bleak.

Will advertising become more conservative, or more explicitly fascist? Time will tell. TikTok.

I can’t change that. What’s the point of living when society treats ppl like me like I don’t matter. Maybe I should just take a bunch of sleeping pills so I don’t have to deal with life anymore.

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
