The seasonal storytelling is fine.

Good for Microsoft. Good for the employees.

They are? That’s literally what the Tweet says, they just can’t explicitly say “Google” in public statements.

How dare you try and define Wednesday Addams.

Obama makes a strong case for the abolishment of the 22nd Amendment. 

Did You bother to look at the OWL Twitter feed?

I’m actually starting to think Musk is just firminly in the chaotic neutral camp, which objectively makes him a shithead, but the use of a prop gun here is almost hilariously deliberate enough for me to think he’s poking fun at the new Right wingers who idolize him now he’s pissed off the left by not being Mr. Mother…

Dollars to donuts this is tire rotations and alignments.

Microsoft cannot legally have any influence on this process until the deal to buy ATVI is complete.
