Friday Fun Link – Annual Performance Review Time (For Your Pets!)

It’s the end of the year. You know what that means. Tweeting me your Annual performance reviews for your pets. Did they meet expectations, exceed expectations or fail to meet expectations? Please leave a picture of your non-human resource below with their performance review. — Brianna Wu (@BriannaWu) December 6, 2022

Covid Tweets Roundup

I’m The King of Twitter! (At Least the Ice Cream Truck Section)

Kinda funny that my most successful tweet of all-time (at least based on Likes) is a throwaway reply to a heart-warming viral thread about ice cream trucks… A couple at the campground where we spend summers have an ice cream cart. He said that it was parents & grandparents, not kids, who came running when […]

And To Think I Knew Him When… ;-) @aarongenest

A former colleague on the Ryan Meili Leadership Campaign v 2.0 (the tall blonde guy in the above picture) recently went viral with a tweet about how he was able to support one of his female employees during Covid. This even included his story getting highlighted on ABC’s “Good Morning America”! I’m not a big […]

Saturday Snap – Going (Mini) Viral Online in the Age of Pandemic

From working on the Ryan Meili leadership campaigns, mostly in the area of social media plus my own personal interest in the topic, I know some of the “rules” about what makes tweets/Facebook posts successful. But ultimately, human nature is a funny thing and no one can truly predict what will make a tweet go […]

Friday Fun Link – ASMR: The Biggest YouTube Trend You’ve Never Heard Of

I hadn’t heard of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) until seeing it referred to on Twitter earlier this week in a joke about how addictive it is. Turns out ASMR is huge!

Instead of Fighting About Politics on the Internet…

…maybe I should just upload screenshots of the witty retorts I draft but then discard without posting because I don’t feel like getting into it with people? (Shea and I spend a lot of time talking about how liberals are often at a disadvantage in arguments with conservatives because they tend to just say whatever […]
