Hi! What a week. It has felt approximately nine hundred years long, thanks.
A fun update! I’m doing a sweet lil live podcast record with Kyle Raymond Fitzpatrick and Ben Dietz next week.
Join us please, RSVP required.
This week’s picks include a Pringles bouquet, the NBA’s European league and a (real) hotel on the moon.

What was with that Polymarket Golden Globes bullshit? Kinda pathetic, tbh!
At this point, nothing surprises me.
Hermès is allegedly stalking their clients…
Your IP? No, our IP, comrade. Good read on how platforms license your content to themselves — and other users.
NVIDIA is backing a company building the first hotel on the moon, lol.
My former employer is among more than 1,000 companies suing the Trump administration over tariffs.
We somehow went from Catholicism to this…?
EMILY SUNDBERG@Emily_SundbergDavid Protein sent me a vibrator and alluded to their protein bars being orgasmic. Thanks @PeterRahal

Why is there a Lucky Box vending machine at the Pentagon?
Need more brands to make good (and functional) Sims CC so I can stop modding.
The Sims 4 x Coach I can’t even fucking talk about this.

Welcome to Substack, Jane Fonda!
It’s a good day when there’s a new Patrick Kho piece to devour.
If every brand is a media company, then every brand needs a Chief Entertainment Officer. Gap has apparently brought on Pam Kaufman (whose career experience is almost exclusively at big entertainment companies) to steer the charge. Her remit will be to “build and scale the retail group’s entertainment, content and licensing platform across music, television, film, sports, gaming, consumer products and cultural collaborations.” Does anyone else remember when the Urban Outfitters on Broadway would have those concerts? That’s what I keep thinking about!
Congrats, Reggie James!

Disney just hired their first Chief Marketing and Brand Officer. No one is above a marketer now; these are… times.
It’s that me can of Pringles…
Nike signed a pickleball athlete. I still don’t ‘get’ pickleball, but it’s ok — I don’t have to be in the TAM for everything. In other Nike news — they will NOT be advertising in the Super Bowl.
Christina note:
socialist sopranos memes@gabagoolmarxIt’s called pickle ball, T. It’s like tennis but smaller. Or maybe it’s like ping pong but bigger. I always get confused.

I said a few years ago that a number of you are inches from reinventing scientific racism and phrenology, and here we are.
Alright, alright, alright. Matthew McConaughey has trademarked himself to avoid being deep-faked, and honestly, I cannot blame him. I oscillate between scaling this newsletter and disappearing off the internet daily.
If you’re a prestige publication writing a story about a scammer you have my clicks.

I can’t wait for the full drop of ANU’s Macrotrend Report.
You guys are running, like a lot. So much so that Strava has filed for an IPO.
kyla scanlon went long about the vibecession forever ago. Now The Economist is talking about the economy’s pessimism problem.
I maintain that this is NOT what I was manifesting when I wrote the below.
