Hi all - yes I really am back on my OG account. My beyondthepaid account has been hacked and I'm currently unable to access it, but was able to get into my old one after years of being locked out. Go figure. Anyway, it's really me.

Saw Jason play with @sammyhagar a couple years ago. He honors his dad's legacy. Here's his kit
John Bonham teaching his son 5 year old Jason to drum at their home. Jason went on to become a respected drummer in his own right, playing with various bands and eventually performing with the surviving members of Led Zeppelin at their reunion concerts, including the 2007 O2 Arena show.

We’re extending the deadline. We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear: you need more time to transition from Dynamic Search Ads (DSA) to AI Max. To give advertisers plenty of runway and not interfere with the busy Q4 period, we are shifting the DSA auto-migration deadline to February 2027. Here is what else you need to know: 1. We still strongly recommend using the manual upgrade tools as they become available in your account within the next couple of weeks for full oversight and control. 2. Automatically created assets and the campaign level broad match setting will still transition to AI Max as planned in September 2026. 3. We are bringing more reporting to final URL expansion (FUE). Look out for account-level reporting, a full slate of metrics for FUE assets, and bulk asset removal from the report table soon. πŸ’‘ Lastly, if you’ve stuck with me this far: You’ll be among the first to hear that AI Max is now officially the default setting when creating a Search campaign. During testing, new campaigns achieved their first conversion faster within the first two weeks. That’s big for any business, and especially for smaller teams where seeing immediate ROI is key. It comes with all the same controls and the option to toggle off AI Max settings if needed.

How can a trustee effectively fulfill her fiduciary obligations to Michigan State University while simultaneously preparing to sue the university, its governing board, and several fellow trustees?
A sitting trustee is threatening to sue the very institution she is simultaneously charged with governing. This is a level of institutional dysfunction that is difficult to overstate.

On May 17, MSU Trustee Rema Vassar sent Kevin Guskiewicz a pre-litigation demand letter threatening to sue MSU for an amount greater than $25 million. The letter, in full, is included in this thread. For context, the families of the 2/13 shooting victims received $5M each. (1/6)

First the web got flooded machines writing for humans. Now the machines are writing for machines. Welcome to the era of ~sloptimization.~ My latest for @TheAtlantic:

I am so tired of AI crap sitting on top of literally everything on my screen. I find AI helpful for many tasks but it is NOT helpful when I'm trying to see something or type in a document and I keep clicking on the damn AI buttons instead. For the love of god stop the madness.

More Search profile insights in the wild. They need to publish a help doc about the data btw... Seems to be a lot of confusion about what creators are actually looking at...
Replying to @glenngabe
Here is our report. Spoiler alert. The insights are not very insightful :)

OMG @GoogleAds your new "AI Policy Center" is TRASH. I'm trying to submit an appeal. I got taken to the AI "help". After answering a bunch of questions it tells me to go back to the Policy Manager in the UI, where I again click "Appeal" and get taken BACK TO THE STUPID AI.

Nowhere am I able to actually submit an appeal. Please fix this awful UX cc @adsliaison. Literally every option takes me back to the beginning with the AI bot asking me the same questions over and over. Horrible
