My previous cat clearly had Maine Coon blood, and he was the most gentle soul that ever lived. I miss him thoroughly. 

Someone asked me what kind of cat I have, and I said, “Um, medium-sized?”

My old man was a Maine Coon, and he was the sweetest, smartest cat I’ve ever known.

Orange cats are known for being friendly, but I thought the actual friendliest breed goes Maine Coons (which I love because they look so imposing and aloof).

Scatterbrained is starting to feel like a good description of what’s going on at Unity.

I have an anecdotal story of dealing with Unity. They opened an office a block from my house a few years ago so I applied for a job because the ease of commute was going to be worth whatever headache came from switching jobs.

So they…

artist with a teen fanbase uses a site aimed at teens to advertise and teach crypto gambling for an hour at a time. i’m sure there will be no consequences from this.

It’s frustrating how much money and stuff seems to just come to you once you don’t need it anymore.

What that means is they’re sacrificing the product and therefore their long term viability, by chasing only profits. Obviously, any idiot knows companies exist to make money.

Feels like they are following the Jack Welch playbook, for short term gains that will probably harm the company long term.

His entire shtick is that he’s a ‘succesful’ CEO, ignoring the fact that his entire track record of ‘success’ was during a fail-proof economic period. In reality, his ‘track record’ is even less meaningful or relevant than the kind participation trophies people him like to scorn and mock. His entire *LIFE* is a…

The issue was basically you’d see their logo on shovelware that hadn’t paid for a licence to hide it, so they unfairly got labelled with it for years.

There just isn’t a flattering photo of the guy. He always looks (and frankly acts) like a Simpsons character sucked out of his cartoon world and struggling to understand why the audience isn’t laughing at his delightful antics.

Texas would build those bike lanes... and angle them directly into the oncoming bus lane. “Two birds, one stone,” they’d say as they rolled coal throughout their 30-mile commute home.

Weird that an apparently consensual affair (and a little blackmail) would rock a company that’s taken decades of employee exploitation and abuse in stride. 

I’m really, really tired of the Patron Saint of Weird Online Dickbags Who Refuse Self-Growth.

Two things stand out. One, the statement that being in the office 40 hours minimum is apparently less than people in the factory need to work in a week. 40 hours is generally considered the max hours before going into overtime. That makes it seem like the factory workers are being fucked.

Please use this sad Wario photo instead of the cowboy hat photo for any future Musk-related articles. Or even better, just include a picture of real Wario so we know it’s it’s an article about Musk but we don’t have to see is fucking face.

Musk’s entire brand has been “edgy asshole troll” for the last 5 years, but the problem is that eventually everyone starts to... think of you and your brand as “asshole”.

And yeah, Musk is kind of the pre-eminent asshole in social media at this point. And he’s not happy about it. 

It is really so hard to understand why this happens?

I enjoy consuming Musk’s tantrums on Twitter from afar after reading one of the NYT’s pieces about his purchase of it. The title was something like, “Musk is just like every other Twitter user, but a billionaire.” The premise being that the overwhelming majority of people on Twitter are miserable online and just…
