I wouldn’t worry too much about CBS becoming another Fox News. Roger Ailes, who created Fox News, was a genius - an evil genius, but a genius nonetheless in the practice of manipulating the medium of television for political ends. Bari Weiss is not this sort of genius. Rather than being transformed into a sophisticated right wing propaganda operation, it is more likely that CBS News is just made dumb and pointless.

Which is why I dislike this whole trend of digital twins, that has become gospel in Silicon Valley. The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about how prominent names in the industry are creating digital twins, because they are just so busy and it is better for the rest of us to engage with a copy.

The problem with modern tech is that they don’t have any historical perspective. Did they never see 🔗🎬 Multiplicity
Congrats to my friend Manton Reece, a San Antonio fan, for their victory in the Western Conference last night. The Knicks will be playing them starting on Wednesday for the NBA championship. Knicks representing the east, Spurs for the west.

I am often accused by Jax of being a ‘music snob’. ‘No’. I say. ‘I just know what I like’. According to Lin Fisher who writes: 🔗 I Confess, I’m a Snob seems to agree. Music is just one domain she looks at. Another is food .. on which topic Jax is an absolute ‘snob’ - though of course being a gentleman, I would never bring it up.
In fairness to Jax, she sent me the link.
One kind of snob looks down at others.
The kind I’m describing looks inward at self.
One is about superiority. The other is about alignment.
And the difference between the two is everything.

It’s quirky and different. Wont be everyone’s cup of tea - but definitely worth a try out. I loved it.
🔗 The Fediverse is not a product. It’s time to get real about marketing.
Ben’s not wrong - but for whatever reason - ‘same as it ever was’. It’s called Marketing. And Marketing is generally not - or maybe ‘mis’ - understood by the community - sometimes even rejected because it is … And of course ‘budget’.
Is this worth a conversation?

For me, what made this different is the naming of everyone in it. 🔗 That is one hell of a band!
