@web_martin Da haben sicher viele Marketingexperten - sowohl intern als auch bei einer Agentur - und das Management lange per E-Mail und in Meetings darüber diskutiert und sind gemeinsam zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass das eine gute Idee ist. #designbycommittee

As spatial data professionals- indeed as data professionals generally - we have all been in similar situations, either inside or looking in… so VERY relatable!
(note that the “98 minute documentary…” “about the men - and one woman” he mentions was – so very sadly! – a fiction generated for his routine…)

I found one of those image memes where you draw something based on input by commenters, and came up with... this. This is a fae dragon which preys on those with an irresistible sweet tooth by using its ice-cream-cone-shaped tail like an angler fish. Here's the input I received to come up with this idea:

Eyes: octopus
Horns: corkscrew
Colors: tortoiseshell cat
Wings: "scrungly"
Mane: pleather
Tail: waffle cone with ice cream on the end
Skin texture: yellow ball pyton
Body type: chonker cat

#KatyPerry had been hyping last Thursday's release of her new single "Woman's World" with a tease that sounded pretty good, so I looked forward to it.

Laura Snapes with The Guardian summed it up nicely with "this garbage has six writers" (at https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jul/12/katy-perry-womans-world-review ).

If you're morbidly curious about how destructive #DesignByCommittee can be, see the video at https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=EVIJUH29pjU

I kinda hope that someone might save the underlying tune with a remix. Either way, I hope to forget its video.

#WomansWorld could have been good dance #music

Katy Perry: Woman’s World review – what regressive, warmed-over hell is this?

Perry’s solo return is a dated attempt at writing a feminist anthem about how women really can have it all! It’s a song that made me feel stupider every sorry time I listened to it

@ardalis I’d say make a poll asking if they should have more than four or is four enough :D #designbycommittee
