Under The Influence is the best podcast for those in the PR and advertising world. Maybe it's also the only one.

Here's my walkies ruck for Saturday humpies.

Fascinating interview. The creative process. Writing and writer.

I am listening to this, via radio news, transubstantiate from guns to cops, real-time.

Extremely damning with lots of references.

I feel like young workers nowadays believe jobs are fun places where all their fun friends are. Were Gen-Xers the last generation to know that Management is the Enemy and Jobs are Jobs and not Summer Camp? Doesn't anyone know it's all about "embrace the suck?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSQWd4LQnbc

Only 10% of Americans want Helicopter Governance. The 10% with helicopter parents. Even though everyone you know had helicopter parents, it's because you're in that 10% who wants a government to keep them safe. 90% don't want a Disinformation Governance Board.

"10 percent of the participants had helicopter parents. The research also revealed that students with helicopter parents tended to be less open to new ideas and actions, and were more vulnerable, anxious, dependent, and self-conscious."

I would love to live in a less racist America. Growing up in Hawaii was a gift this way for me. I sure hope that making anti-racism mandatory in modern culture doesn't just drive people to be actively racist out of defiance. I mean, that's how it works with children. And, let's be honest, most Americans are developmentally stunted.

I found our list. These are our people, not Denmark, Canada, Britain, or Germany.

This is our list. Not the Harvard-bound kids' list but the High School Diploma list. Everyone has been putting America on the wrong list. It's not fair comparing the dumb kid to the National Merit Scholars. This is our list. We may be rich but we're not college material—and only the Valedictorian kids want to be.

The problem with CGI Star Wars beasts of burden is that they never have any weight. They don't struggle through sand. They are all such lazy interpretations. Watch a damn nature special. Visit a large animal at a zoo or a farm.

Economic sanctions and property seizures aren't blackmail or extortion but blockades and cutting supplies are blackmail and extortion.

Out of whole cloth: entirely from fiction or the imagination, or through complete fabrication; not based on reality at all. A reference to tailors who would falsely advertise garments being made "out of whole cloth," when, in reality, they were pieced together from different cuts.

Cut from whole cloth: entirely fictional or utterly false; completely fabricated and not based on reality at all. A reference to tailors who would falsely advertise garments being made "out of whole cloth," when, in reality, they were pieced together from different cuts.

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand.

War propaganda 101: only the enemy ever rapes and pillages.

The firearm paradox: the more dangerous or lawless the streets are perceived, the more likely a person will resort to weapons for defense.
