Limits erased

Findings reveal

Whistleblower fired

Exec accused

Union pushes

Probe widens

Lawsuit challenges

Frustration increases

Pressure grows

Authorities gird

Buyer emerges

Company pays

Raises ok’d

Everyone shines.

A Feed You'll Love

Switch and get

2X  3X  5X points

Accommodations, cars, cruises

Tickets, bookings

Personal pizzas and death with dignity.

And tell your visual-first assistant

Scale and data and distribution

Will define the future of media

Never allow genre to confine your work

But don’t share your code with anyone.

Set a creative challenge for yourself

Turn every moment into playful adventure

Surround yourself with yes

Try your best

It’s the least you can do.

There's a Scene in the Third Season

Ursa Major seen from Asia Minor

Church of Win-Win  

Where Yes and Yes goes

Hand in hand with 

Open Late

Rules loosened, tools too

Eye roll, pre-roll 

Roll over Beethoven.

Can you talk about

On time buses 

On time trains

Walk us through

Tell us about

The path not taken

That dumps out at 

Cold Beer/Pool/Burgers.

Oh grow a rower’s pair you whores to 

Big drops and healthy smoothies

Napkins, options, money 

And other things left on the table

Brays the priest bemoaning the 

Widespread dearth of rare earths

At the annual Blessing of the Devices

Do it or ask to have it done for you.

Guns and Cannabutter

Recon leads to intel as

New waste leads to legacy waste

Expansion fuels density

The way drift netting fuels by-catch

Flooding the market with

All your favorite franchises, characters

Gayliens, glissades, Gaga songs we love

24/7 streams of irresistibly larky narratives 

Reverb to adverb

Hers his and theys arcs

A thuggish sluggish drone swarm of 

Duckbilled platitudinous gangsters

Cutout middlemen clinging to their tropes

Hedonistic and shedonistic

Offshoots of infidels

Axes of proxies, defacto intifada

Sects, branches

Christ on a hoverboard

You needn’t be Greek

To know why they call them gods.

Days of Wine and Roses, with Notes of Cautious Optimism

Unlocks 

Impresses

Stuns

That’s what

I said 

But so

From hot

Tub to

Cold plunge

Ok so

I know

I’m just

Doing a quick

Was it Ben

Was it Damien

I DM-ed Farzin

It’s like does

That always happen?

Starkitecture

I always love to challenge myself

It kind of like excites me

I’ve become something of a dab hand at

Talking to my wrist or my glasses

Flexing through Zoom calls

Disseminating dossiers of sensitive matters that aren’t public

Dishing to the Entertainment Juggernaut Times

Fresh finds in every leak

Marinated in herbs and  

Garlic and articles of faith 

Projects outperforming at

Next-gen levels of outperformance

Putting two and two together

Coming up with five

Thirty-seven thousand, eight hundred billion

Four trillion!

Large-cap

Cross-platform 

Alcohol-fueled

Rules-driven

Late-night

Picture-perfect

Carbon-based

Far-flung

Sci-fi

Thinly-veiled

Real-life

Gluten-free

Short-range

Long-range

High-profile

Pan-fried!

Shakespeare on the Light Rail

Rebalancing my portfolio

Staring death in the eye

Through risk lenses 

Head like the Elephant Man

Torso like Saint Sebastian

My right oblique tight

I was Othello white

Desdemona half black, half Chinese

Presenter and influencer

Quotes, clubs, slow cookers

Bats right throws right

At large, in chief

Infinitely clippable

Massive digital reach

Stole the heart off my sleeve

I flipped like a cheap zori

My blood pressure spiked like agave

And bats were swinging for the fences

I just want to rock that smart little backside 

From allegro presto to andante pastoral

Strong merch numbers’ll do that

A night of high engagement

Peer-to-peer messaging 

Any platform, any cloud

We matched app for app

Fiercely compelling, fiercely tender

And although this account is private somehow

The internet lit up.
