Happy #Caturday from Carebear.
An orange-and-white tabby cat naps on a plush blue blanket decorated with teal and yellow swirling floral patterns. The cat is curled on its side with its front paws stretched forward, eyes mostly closed, and head resting against a fold in the blanket. Warm indoor lighting highlights the cat’s thick fur and relaxed, comfortable posture

Macy’s Two Most Unsuper Superman Floats Superman’s first Macy’s balloon debuted in 1940, but it got reworked into a football player the next year. The 1966 redesign didn’t help much either, with some truly wild proportions. #ThanksgivingParade #Macys
A vintage black-and-white photo of the 1940 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Superman balloon. The figure has an unusual, bulky body with stiff arms pointed downward, a rounded head with minimal facial detail, and an overall design that barely resembles Superman. Parade handlers walk below holding long guide ropes as the balloon floats between buildings.A color photo of the 1966 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Superman balloon. The balloon shows Superman with extremely exaggerated proportions—broad chest, tiny waist, and unusually long legs. His face appears simplistic and stylized, and his arms extend straight out in a flying pose. Parade handlers walk underneath as the balloon moves through the street.

The way we’re talking about AI in design is kinda crazy-cuckoo-nutsack-bananas. It’s leaving folks anxious, excluded, exhausted. So, I wrote a piece to name the patterns — and offer something healthier in return. 👇 Read the full piece: tinyurl.com/4954ewxn #UX #AI #ProductDesign #DesignSky #UXSky
A chart titled “AI & UX Discourse Detox” with two columns. The left column lists unhealthy discourse patterns: FOMO, Gaslighting, Clickbait, Hot Takes, Flexing, and Elitism. The right column offers healthier alternatives: Curiosity-Driven Learning, Critical Perspective, Nuanced Storytelling, Thoughtful Dialogue, Shared Discovery, and Community Stewardship. Each row includes a short description and matching icon. Designed by Mike Schindler (mschindler.com).

This is not a pipe: UX, AI, and the risk of satisficed product design
AI’s grip on design forces us to reconsider our role in shaping perception, reality, and — most importantly — decision-making.

The UX world feels a little adrift right now—it’s easy to feel disconnected. I wrote a piece about what still holds us together. Shared truths. Real collaboration. Compassion over clickbait. 👉 The Time for UX Solidarity medium.com/@mschindler/... #UX #AI #designsky #uxsky

During radically shifting times, these UX truths still hold us together — reminding us of the value we bring, and the purpose we serve.

“I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.” - Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States
The image shows a solemn ceremony with an American flag-draped casket in the center, surrounded by military personnel in formal uniforms standing at attention. Wreaths adorned with red, white, and blue flowers are placed near the casket. In the background, attendees observe respectfully behind rope barriers, inside a grand hall with statues and paintings on the walls.
