Christopher Elliott (linkedin.com/in/christophere…) nailed this today in his piece "The Great Disconnect: Here's Why Travel Is Lonelier Than Ever." Group travel is shrinking. Interactions are vanishing. We've automated the human out of the trip and called it progress. He quoted me on the fix, and it's embarrassingly simple. Before I ever check into a hotel, I email the general manager. I tell them a little about who I am and what I like. In return, they share local tips no app will ever surface. @rtehrani @jeffpulver @EvanKirstel

Sixty years after "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," the Stones finally figured out how to get some: turn 30 countries into streaming rivals, hand Jagger, Richards and Wood ten teams apiece, a Spotify link, and let the world do the marketing. The Rolling Stones' new LP, "Foreign Tongues," drops right in the middle of the World Cup, so there's no translation needed; the chorus travels in every language. No sponsorship fee. No trademark to dodge. Just stream your country to the top. Satisfaction, finally, guaranteed. From this #ambush I guess the Stones will "get what they need." But to the #FIFA folks, a line from another Stones number comes to mind. "It's a bitch." @EvanKirstel @jeffpulver @rtehrani #fifa #worldcup2026 linkedin.com/posts/andyabram…
