On what planet does a brand - even @duolingo - think it’s cool to crack jokes about an alleged victim of domestic violence? The Depp fandom bubble on TikTok is very real but no brand should get anywhere near it.

This interview is a prime example of what not to do & will be studied in public speaking classes for years. Jon Stewart often lets interviewees self-sabotage, but here, the Deputy Secretary of Defense unravels before even making her argument.

Yeah, I mean, this is why many far-right influencers exist mostly/only as meme accounts on Twitter/Instagram. Because, if they're actually questioned, they're easily outed for being really dumb.
Take a second to watch Libs of TikTok respond to Taylor Lorenz’s question. Full interview here:

Andre Braugher and Lance Reddick, both gone in 2023. They were incredibly talented actors, and remarkable Black actors, unafraid to confront race in their roles. What a massive loss, all in one year.

Notice the change in tone after the audience applauds him. It becomes evident that she's falling behind and must address the arguments. It's crazy that she didn't realize it sooner.

@James_Dator Keanu 4ever. Saw this man sitting on a fire hydrant in NYC. A fucking fire hydrant. & he looked cool doing it. Mustered the courage to speak to him as he’s getting up & he was the nicest guy on the planet. Let me take 2 selfies because my hand was shaking too much the first time.

If you’re reading this and you’re a progressive/Dem, I taught public speaking at the University of Washington and here’s an overview of how to present a persuasive speech that motivates action. (This is an actual email I sent to students in 2009.)

@keithedwards This is an optics game right now. You have to pick and choose your battles. We lost this battle. We can’t look like we’re throwing a tantrum, as horrible as it is. That won’t do anything or deliver any sort of win perception wise. Move quietly on this, then plot a course that’s.

@hasanthehun The opening about her was great. The Trump recapping is more of a slog but it felt like it had to be done. Not everyone is as online/tuned in as many of us are.

Not that they have a PR team, but media monitoring for your company when it's named "X" must really suck.

@molcranenewman @NatalieKorach The investigation response playbook:. 1. Deny allegations, call it a witch hunt. 2. Claim political bias, say you’re unfairly targeted. 3. Rally supporters, frame yourself as a victim. 4. Attack/discredit investigators + their authority. 5. If found guilty, say system = corrupt.

@DavidShuster To Dems, here are some thoughts on counter-framing Trump’s plan to eliminate the Department of Education in your tweets and comms:. Trump’s push to eliminate the DoE is complicated, so people won't immediately 'get it,' even if it sounds concerning. His alternative of 'sending.

@TheBatman Perhaps unpopular opinion but when Oz killed Vic it killed my need for another season. First season was spot-on. We liked Oz for almost all of it. Then he fully became Penguin which was great. That had to happen. So, what’s the point of another season, especially without the.

@aaronnarraph Common Themes. 1.Desire for Change and Anti-Establishment Sentiment:.•Many respondents express frustration with the political establishment, feeling that both AOC and Trump represent a push against the status quo. They see both figures as outsiders who challenge traditional.

@DrKarlynB @yashar I feel sorry for you if you think this is normal behavior or “just some fight.” I mean, I’ve been married for nearly a decade and when my wife was pregnant I never angrily told her to “take an Uber.”.

@CultureCrave Guy sounds like a genius, tbh. Respect. Also, right before this movie came out I ran into Keanu Reeves on the street outside of my office in NYC and told him I was excited to see “47 Rowneng” and he just smiled and took a selfie with me because he’s the man.

@CultureCrave Movie was still excellent. Largely because of the actors. This spoiled Marvel, though, where they now think they can get away with this more reactive model.

@ArmandDoma We’re in a post-policy political landscape. None of the policies politicians claim to support matter anymore—or at least they don’t for Trump. FWIW, I also wrote this earlier today:.

My dad turned 68 today. Guy came here illegally, flying to Canada from Guyana 🇬🇾 with $100 hidden in a bar of soap. He crawled under a border fence in the winter and hitched a ride to NYC. Now he owns one of the last garment businesses in the city. Dude IS the American dream.

1/7 After tonight's episode of Succession, "Church and State," I still believe Cousin Greg could win control of Waystar RoyCo. Let's peep the many clues from tonight.
Cousin Greg is very obviously going to end up the CEO of Waystar when Succession ends.

@TimAlberta I really don’t think people give a shit about the Tiananmen Square question. Honestly, who actually cares? I thought him saying, essentially, that he flubbed that was endearing and refreshing rather than some pained or polished deflection.

@davidmackau To many, this statement seems innocuous enough. An attempt to appease. But the apology is telling. There's no doubt that Bud won't be working with another trans influencer in the future. And they're likely to closely scrutinize any campaigns with LGBTQ creators. It's sad.

I'll never understand senior PR peeps who say they don't pitch reporters anymore. “My team pitches, I manage.” What? Even if I were the CEO of my firm, I'd still be out here scrapping. If you don't talk to journalists, why would any company trust you to share their story?.

@JHWeissmann If this group believes the government can control the weather, then any conspiracy seems possible to them. Steal an election? ✅ COVID engineered to control the population? ✅ We’re in brain-rot territory, where reasoning with a portion of the population is no longer possible.

If a client asks a PR agency "to see the pitch," everyone has lost and the relationship is already over.

@therecount By all meaningful accounts, the admin had a strong response to Helene. 'Why aren’t you in Helene?! Why aren’t you in D.C.?! Why did you tweet about Ukraine?!' are not serious criticisms.

@photos_zap @duolingo TY! You're wildly talented. You've helped Duolingo (!) build a real brand. Now, they need to give you the support you deserve/the tools you need (brand safety training, firm guidelines, etc.), so you can continue to scale the following w/o feeling the need to chase risky trends.

.@YahooNews is absolutely crushing it on TikTok, with +1M followers -- way more than most other news outlets. They're beating Vice, BuzzFeed, USA Today & WaPo. And their bio is 🔥. "Yes, we still exist." They're reaching a whole new audience. Pretty incredible.

When PR agencies struggle to deliver, they “show their work” - drowning clients in admin, strategy docs & asset requests they know won’t go anywhere. Avoid this by hiring smaller, scrappier firms. These agencies wouldn't have survived without proving they can make things happen.
