This week, we’re reminded how LinkedIn and ThoseinMedia are no place for identity politics, claims that Meta has been inflating ad prices, a look into gen Alpha’s media engagement habits, the average human attention span is now less than that of a goldfish and more. We also share views from Larrabee State Park in Washington State.
