Caleb and Adriele break down the boring-til-it-wasn’t Super Bowl including a rash of ho-hum ads, a puzzling decision from Uber Eats, and, most importantly, Beyoncé. They look at a wild week in politics, including a decision in Trump’s immunity case, Republicans justifying his remarks threatening to incite Russia to attack America’s NATO allies, and a Special Counsel statement with which Biden took serious exception. And they unpack new data from Edelman, including why people now dislike innovation.
Then, Caleb leads a deep dive on the feasibility and ramifications of Meta’s choice to silence political content on Threads and Instagram. And Adriele takes a hard look at data that says three-quarters of employers are not regularly checking on staff morale.
All that, plus Australia gives workers the ‘right to disconnect’ after hours, and the Super Bowl stadium was the first to be powered by 100% renewable energy.
