Morale is tanking at Zuck’s empire due to a vacuum of leadership, a miscalculated bet on VR, and the downward pressures of a harmful business model against a sentiment that like Twitter, these social media companies are in a death spiral imposed by their own egomaniacal executives.

When I read of the snacks not being replenished quickly I remain in *awe* of the resiliency of the human spirit.

Doesn't Mark's Facebook policy state they will tell government officials when women should get their periods so even legal abortions can be prosecuted in states where they hate women?

It's hard to understand why any women would look favorably on Facebook or and Republican Party elected officials.

@profcarroll would love to pick your brain on what Apple might do with AR this June if they announce something. I’m still really skeptical but have been surprised before by their ability to understand problems and market their solution. It sounds like they are either timing their news perfect to catch any disenfranchised users or they mis calculated also and will pull out before announcing.
