Turning innovation into revenue & growth—since 1988. I write about #EnterpriseSoftware #DigitalMarketing & #Startups. I may opine about #Democracy, #Cycling & #Justice. I'll share #ScientificResearch. #TwitterRefugee.
While
- our government descends into incompetence and disfunction,
- the national debt grows,
- housing, food and health instability spreads to more households
- we instigate foreign wars …
6% of total wealth in the US now sits with the 1000 wealthiest people.
So much to fix in America. 😢
Killing American citizens
Grifting with cyber currency
Attacking court decisions
Attacking elections
Mistrusting states’ rights
Invading sovereign nations
Upending free trade
Protecting pedofiles
This isn’t just 47. This is the cabal of elected republicans who enable this to define America.
Did congress declare war?

But what about Hillary’s email server and Hunter Biden’s laptop!
Surely these are more important than
- relitigating the 2020 election
- the Epstein files
- the Good and Prettie murders
- ending Russia’s war with Ukraine.

BREAKING: Trump's tariffs = illegal!
IEEPA provides limited authority to respond to unusual & extraordinary threats
Routine trade deficits and disagreements don't qualify-the Court smacked it down
Article I & rule of law stands! -TN
Elections have consequences. It was true in 2024. It will be true in 2026 and 2028.
Escalating attacks. First on decency. Then on the sanctity of elections followed by hits to. the rules-based international order.
Now the target is on the human race.

Having reverence for learning is not a political stand.
Education is progressive. Education is conservative. Education is American.
Tarriffs as #retribution?
Justice department endictments as retribution?
Federal forces in states that voted blue as retribution?
Retribution in general?
Tired.
If you're not contributing to safety, security, health or prosperity, DON'T TREAD ON ME.
Trump and Trump alone keeps talking about the insurrection act of 1807 to force the federal government into state and local jurisdictions. #BadPolicy #DontTreadOnMe
So much for checks and balances and being responsible to citizens generally and to matters of sending our own into harms way.
If I lived in Greenland, I’d be very worried right now.
Venezuela.
So much for norms of avoiding aggression, respecting sovereignty, adhering to the UN Charter and working with allies.
How is the justification different than Russia’s for invading Ukraine

This. Makes. Me. Sad.
Kudos to #SEMRush (and backlinko) team. They deserve their payday.
I just wish it wasn't #Adobe, who is one of the least pleasant suppliers I've experienced. #CreativeCloud #Marketo #Fireworks. #Figma dodged a bullet.
Not really a #canva user to date, but I'm intruigued by their new product/strategy/AI directions. Will have to dig in.

Do I care about remodeling the White House? Not really.
I’d rather focus on justice, economic opportunity, advancing democracy, elevating our citizens and protecting the planet.
My agenda is hopelessly sidelined.

It's going to take creativity and compromise to re-open government. I haven't seen creativity or compromise from Republicans or Democrats in nearly a decade.

I just learned the #MarketCap of "Magnificient 7" stocks represent more than 1/3 of the S&P 500. They've had a good decade and year.

I think I need to rebalance my portfolio. How about you?
How can #Trump disarm no kings protesters?
1. Respect, enforce, and protect the constitution.
2. Represent and lead all Americans, not just those who voted for you.
3. Be kind.
Sounds pretty easy? Not to Trump. #sad
In other news, there's two items to report.
First, the US government shutdown is in its 19th day with no end in sight.
Second, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
How do you build a customer-centric culture?
1. Bring Customers to Your All-Hands Meetings
2. Everyone in Marketing Writes Case Studies
3. PMM and PM Should Have a Customer Quota
4. Engineers to Trade Shows and Conferences
5. Cross-Pollinate

A conspiracy theorist dies and goes to heaven.
God says, “I’ll tell you anything you want to know.”
“At last! Who shot JFK?”
God says, “Oswald, acting alone.”
Conspiracy theorist says, “Shit. This goes even higher than I thought…”
Reason #42 to be human: #Feedback
#AI doesn't provide the kind of feedback humans crave. It provides an answer, but no feedback. Think about real life:
- Water a plant and it grows
- Tell a joke and others laugh
- Train at a sport and hit a PR
AI has a place. A focused place.
Be human.
#GTMAutomation is so different today.
The old question: "which marketing automation tool: Marketo or HubSpot?" The new question: "How do I implement prospect research, enrichment and email outreach at scale?"
