I've been an exec in corporate TV for 30+ years. This is a harsh, but accurate take on the challenges facing Bari Weiss by @lopatto.bsky.social.

Leading a large team, creatives, and navigating the corpo world without years of experience is exceedingly difficult.

I'm leaning toward the newer design, as it would match more of the cosplay.

Testing two different versions of the crysknife. The 1984 style (top) and the 2021 style (bottom). Thoughts?

Two 3D printed versions of a crysknife from the Dune movies. There is a 1984 style and the 2021 style.

An inexpensive tripod or monopod is a great for shooting video during inspections, cut-outs, and captures.

Sea-lioning/brigading is basically people having temper tantrums.

It’s unlikely to change anyone’s mind or make any action happen.

The move to electric leaf blowers in our town was quite controversial and led to the police chief having to announce that officers would not respond to calls about gas powered blowers.

The decision making at Microsoft marketing (or whomever the decision maker is) is terrible.

They think it's OK that there are two different 'Copilot' on a computer that do different things.

Microsoft 365 Copilot from the Office/Enterprise team.
Windows Copilot from the Windows division.

Insanity.

Text explaining the difference between Microsoft 365 Copilot and Windows Copilot. The heading asks 'Which one should you use?' followed by three bullet points: Microsoft 365 Copilot is for AI help inside Office apps like Word, Excel, and Outlook; Windows Copilot is for AI assistance with Windows itself including system commands, quick Q&A, and accessibility help; and a note that both can be used together as they serve different purposes.
