@Reuters I’m just wondering why they’re crashing into a padded wall when a protective net, like the ones used on ski slopes, would probably do a much better job. Seems like a safer and more practical solution.
@ice_hiboy@SnazzyLabs I think you forgot to include walking and bicycles. 😄 Jokes aside, many Americans commute 30–65 km each way. "Just take a bus or a taxi" is one of those ideas that only works if you live on a European map.

@SnazzyLabs@Rivian How's your experience with a rooftop tent? I've heard they're not as practical as they seem. Some people say they're heavy to lift and mount, take time to set up, and can be a hassle to store after a trip.
Really impressive product presentation here. The black and gold, the apothecary bottles, the fitted case. Everything about the physical packaging reads premium and obsessive in the best way. You can tell there's serious R&D behind this, not just slick marketing.
One thing I'll flag as someone who works in brand and identity, and feel free to ignore this entirely since you didn't ask for it.
The name might be quietly working against you. Phonetically, "Copland" leads with "Cope," which carries connotations of getting by or making do. That's a weird tension when your product is clearly the opposite of settling. The sun icon in the "O" is a cool design move, but on the label it breaks the word apart a bit and makes the eye work harder to read it. And "Supply" pulls the whole thing toward wholesale or B2B territory, when your packaging is clearly speaking to the enthusiast who cares deeply about their setup.
None of this is a dealbreaker, and 16K+ views says you're clearly resonating. But there's a gap between what the product looks and feels like and what the name suggests. Your packaging tells me "crafted, precise, elevated." The name tells me "adequate, utilitarian, bulk." Those two stories are pulling in different directions.
If there's a personal story behind the name, that could actually be your unlock. Giving people a reason to read it differently is sometimes all it takes.
Either way, the product itself looks fantastic. Just wanted to share what jumped out from a branding perspective. Nice work. 🎧
TWiT’s Social Media Strategy: A Curious Gap
Let’s look at the numbers:
X: 73.1K followers
All other platforms combined: 65.7K
(Instagram 7.7K, Facebook 25K, LinkedIn 3.6K, TikTok 16.3K, Mastodon 3.9K, Bluesky 9.2K)
The largest audience clearly sits on X. In fact, there is a 155% percentage difference between the 9.2K followers on Bluesky and the 73.1K on X.
Now, look at the timeline:
Last post on X: Feb 26
That is over six weeks of total silence on the biggest distribution channel in the ecosystem. Meanwhile, the smaller platforms stay active. From a media strategy standpoint, that is where things get interesting.
In digital media, attention leads to distribution, distribution leads to growth, and growth leads to revenue. An inactive channel, especially the largest one, creates a break in that chain.
73K followers isn’t just a vanity metric. It represents:
Daily impressions not generated
Episodes not promoted
Sponsors not amplified
New listeners not reached
Even modest engagement rates across an audience that size could compound significantly over time. It raises a real question: Is deprioritizing X a deliberate strategic decision or is the largest audience in the network simply being underutilized?
From the outside, it looks like measurable reach, engagement, and potential revenue are being left on the table.
Earthset.
The Artemis II crew captured this view of an Earthset on April 6, 2026, as they flew around the Moon. The image is reminiscent of the iconic Earthrise image taken by astronaut Bill Anders 58 years earlier as the Apollo 8 crew flew around the Moon.
It’s T-minus 18 minutes to the record and the Earth Science team is just now realizing they need to explain how a window and camera works? You’ve had years of mission planning to coordinate these shots. To wait until the final countdown to micromanage a camera lens is an absolute failure of protocol.
