Best of the Week: Algorithmic adventures, idiot marketers, walled gardens and the Oban ferry
Welcome to Unmade, written in the UK while you were sleeping on Saturday morning.
Today’s writing soundtrack: The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead. (I hope nothing occurs to make me regret that choice before this email’s scheduled send time.)
Happy Curmudgeons Day.
I’m not saying it’s a quiet news day, but the headline on one of the top stories on news.com.au as I write this is “Brad Pitt not ‘secretly dating’ famous singer”. That approach certainly does open up some rich journalistic territory for articles about things that are not happening to celebrities. You’ll be amazed what Hugh Jackman hasn’t been getting up to.
