science writing 101

it depends how the company was founded and financed and chartered. If he does have >50% outright, he’s in control.  Of course, everyone else could decide to divest in the company, tanking the value of his position, but he’d still “own” it.

give them all circular saws

What the hell does Storey’s statement mean in context with everything else? Is he saying that he DID make the tweet and is unilaterally pulling the plug on the Haas deal, but has some blow-back from minority owners? Or is he saying that Neville Weston and/or Charlie Simpson’s camp sent out the tweet and he’s going to…

gender reveal parties should only be a thing when a trans person officially changes their gender on government forms. Not over something as mundane as a 50/50 coinflip that happens hundreds of times a minute.

gotta love how they ran a stop sign on camera right after getting their squeakers installed. But other than a bit of tire screech I didn’t hear their car make any unusual noises
