#TIL that #changemanagement, a methodology for creating buy in for a change, can be used as a weapon on employees.

Took me 20 years as a change management professional before I figured it out; I found that out because it was used on me.

I mean, look at the comment section of the Announcement Video:

People go apeshit on #Valve being able to "#ReadTheRoom":

  • 'You own that hardware!'
  • no mention of "#AI"
  • no mention of #Subscriptions
  • no mention of other bullshit
  • 'Play as YOU want!'
  • 'It just works!'

Tho I guess people will be disappointed the "#GabeCube" aka. #SteamMachine (2nd Gen) won't be a $499 box and neither will the #SteamFrame aka. "#VirtualGabe" and even the #SteamController aka. "#WaveGabe" will be over $99 simply because #Valve ain't gonna have the money to preorder like 10M before #launch, and also "AI" is driving price hikes for #RAM and #Flash...

Fresh Direct today sporting the NYY jersey motif again. Really? no ability to regionalize these things?!?!?

Ahhh…. As ever. The peace and quiet of the airline lounge shattered by the cacophony of Americans asking each other where they’re from and how many European cities they’ve crammed into their five day visit. 🙄 #ReadTheRoom
“About 30-45 minutes later, the president stopped standing and his grin has slowly faded into a half-smile as he appeared to be drifting off.” I didn’t see any fading enthusiasm from the millions of #NoKings protesters yesterday. #HappyBirthday Mr. Trump. #ReadTheRoom #NoKingsNoCrown 2/2

It's funny that the White House sees the Amazon Tariff proposal as "hostile". They should see it as an easy way to make sure Americans buy American. No tariffs... it's made in America. Simple.
