99 times out of 100 this has been the famed imaging balloon but of course last night was the National Christmas Tree lighting with the President and VP in attendance.
Ian wrote: “I think this is a surveillance aerostat operated by the secret service and not a commercial imaging setup… appears to be a Skystar 100/110 mini Aerostat system from RT Aerostat with a FLIR payload”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
