Listening to the new single from Tree Adams' Dagnasterpus on repeat all day 😃🎺🎹🎷 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍 open.spotify.com/track/1Kcy06DV…

This is an awesome story. Diving isn't one of those "pick it up randomly as an adult and you could be an Olympian" sports, like, say, Skeleton. Most divers have been training since early childhood. But being a former gymnast certainly helps

Gmail's Spam and Snooze buttons, both of which I use religiously, are perilously similar

Parade of Nations always such a fun challenge to produce. Do you tell a sports anecdote? Geography lesson? History? So much to say and often only about ten seconds to do so before the next country enters

I can 100% relate to this feeling... But there is also something special, and increasingly rare in our world of ubiquitous/disposable media creation, to labor over something for so long. And I hope you appreciate how much the rest of us were able to enjoy it thx to your hard work

I always find these rankings so silly. Creating an "objective" ranking based on a handful of subjectively selected/weighted attributes. The truest way to rank schools is head-to-head enrollment decisions: if you got into, say, Tuck & Sloan, which did you choose?

Great reporting. Don't think I've ever seen detail on the economics of OEMs' tvOS deals reported before. 👇

Like Prime Video & Amazon Channels, Roku is leveraging its own streaming service, The Roku Channel, to aggregate third-party SVOD services

Now with 17.1m subs at $4.74 monthly RPU, ESPN+ is quietly on track to be a billion dollar business. Almost completely incremental to Pay TV, too. Yes, Disney bundle pull-through, yes, sports seasonality lift, but still -- so impressive to do that w/o cannibalizing the cable net

NYT Sports agate goes the way of Sports Phone (which I'm old enough to have called a couple times as a sports-obsessed little kid). Growing up, the sports section was my onramp to other journalism, and agate my onramp to sports coverage. RIP

This example was such a brilliant and subversive use of the agate construct 👇

Not discussed at the upfronts this week, but there truly is no more compelling content than whatever your neighbor on a plane is watching

All good points. Worth noting tho that right now ESPN+ is essentially an incremental product to ESPN linear. And clever commingling of niche live rights and the former ESPN Insider subscription publishing product makes it stickier - and less apples to apples pure video comparison

It's a truism in advertising that the very worst place to learn about an agency is its own about us page

Our Roku screen defaults to the "Aquatic Life" screensaver, but perhaps we need to spend more time in "Roku City". Thoughts, Paul Goldberger? nytimes.com/2022/11/02/sty…

What a well-deserved tribute for my dear friend Jason Schulweis. If, 30 yrs ago, when we were kids watching the Isles upset PIT at the Coliseum, I had told a Turgeon jersey-clad J he'd one day be honored by the team, he would've lost it (and also assumed it meant he made the NHL)

Interesting ad format from Twitter that I don't recall seeing before: hero product display + carousel to showcase additional products. Natural for streamers but also really any multi-SKU DTC retailer
