Rep. Todd Akin pulls out of Piers Morgan’s show this evening. Piers Morgan keeps a camera on the empty chair and places it in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Political theater of the absurd!

I love that they captioned the shot of the empty chair “Empty Chair.” Epic.

For Tumblr, the possibilities are pretty great. Like Twitter, brands act just like users on the platform, and users willingly consume brands’ content just like they do their friends. For sponsors, just as users, a premium is placed on great content. The difference between the two platforms is that you get so much richer content on Tumblr — photos, videos, longer form writing. It’s more immersive, and you can really express yourself in many different ways. —

Rick Webb, former owner of The Barbarian Group, now an advertising advisor to Tumblr talking to me about native advertising — and in this quote specifically, discussing why Tumblr is better for brands. Take a look at the full interview, in which Webb waxes poetic about the advantages and disadvantages brands and publishers face when looking at online advertising.

I have been thinking about Tumblr, brands and advertising a lot lately. I am very interested to see what Rick does here. There are some enormous challenges in this world for Tumblr but also significant upside if they get it right.

While Sean Parker has figured out to disrupt, he has not figured out how to monetize his disruptions. —

Adam Broitman, chief creative strategist at digital agency Something Massive, talking to me about how media buyers are looking at Airtime. Other quotes from big agencies Digitas and Universal McCann.

These are the people responsible for buying ad space for brands on websites. They are an important piece of the media ecosystem who largely get ignored by mainstream press (which is why trade publications exist!) but should be heard as they typically play with massive amounts of brand money.

Vanity Fair has a print circulation of around 1 million copies; the current issue has a fresh photo of Angelina Jolie on its cover; and Hitch is one of the best writers to ever draw breath. However, I’m reasonably sure that this blog post, or the next one, will reach more readers than his latest gem. For bloggers like Ferriss and Godin, the future arrived long ago: Publishing in Vanity Fair would be tantamount to burying their work. This is astounding. Given its range of content, and the costs of acquiring this content, a magazine like Vanity Fair should get much more traffic than any one person’s blog. And this brings us back to the problem of money: Apart from my occasional use of a webmaster and a graphic designer, my blog employs no one—not even me. Where is all this heading? I can count on one finger the number of places where it is still obviously better for me to publish than on my own blog—the opinion page of The New York Times. But it’s not so much better that I’ve been tempted to send them an article in the last few months. Is this just the hubris of the blogosphere? Maybe—but not for everyone and not for long. — Sam Harris (via soupsoup)

HOW REFRESHING IS THIS?! Oh my God, am I dreaming?! A girl without makeup holding a house of Legos instead of a pink dreamhouse or a princess wand, I can’t even…!

I can’t wait until Chloe can play with Legos!
