Dale PriceEvery time I look at anything Liquid Glass, this is all I’ll ever see
FreediverX@dale_price
I’m now imagining their design team sliding about little translucent swastikas on their oak table for Tim.
Kees N ✅🔻Ewwwww 🤮
Sebastian Arcq@dale_price should have signed it "Tim Apple".
ltning@dale_price Someone's turning in their grave. I think.
Jeff C. 🇺🇦🇬🇱@ltning @dale_price Yep.
Say what one will about Steve Jobs, I don’t think he would have bent the knee like this.
Jonathan HendryAnd the “designed by a Marine veteran Apple employee and the base was made in Utah a solid red state” is gross.
Big “not one of our effete queers” energy.
@jonhendry @jeff @dale_price I didn't even connect those dots. Talk about taking gross and grossifying it. Ugh!
Bill Seitz
Juffo-WupTwo cults - connected.
Avi Rappoport (avirr)@dale_price It’s… a plaque.
It’s a bribe for an autocrat
@jonhendry @dale_price As bribes go, it’s underwhelming.
Trump is cheap. A little shiny goes a long way.
@dale_price I can’t believe he even put his own fucking name on it.
Unreal.
sscabral@jeff I disagree with the whole thing too, but I still wonder if it's a way to somehow express who's taking the fall for Apple's current political situation.
The writing shows the one inside the company to take the hit. And that part I think it's appropriate.
DNA schedule@dale_price artifacts like this are why we're going to need a Museum of American Fascism, to remember the depravity
lboulard@dale_price Apple Dictator Award
E.J. Kalafarski@dale_price I don't like Trump either. But this is a relatively standard kind of tchotchke that has always been given to Presidents.
dxzdb@ejkalafarski @dale_price Apple has done this before?
I didn't find one from Apple here 😆 https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/tokens_and_treasures/presidents/william_clinton.html
Paul@dale_price Does anyone else find it mildly annoying that the text on the glass part does not appear to be square to the base.
(Sorry.)
Der Teilweise@plwt @dale_price I used perspective distortion to get the text horizontal … well.
I’m not saying there is no explanation for this that is not embarrassing for Apple.
@teilweise @dale_price I appreciate your efforts to verify that. Thank you.
AdventureTense@dale_price Dang, I have sooooo many snarky comments I want to say.
Igor@dale_price liquid moral
Craig Morgan@dale_price Liquid Ass indeed ...
Manni@dale_price Is this refraction? Those hands in the background look small‘ish.
Ryan@dale_price Well, I guess it’ll look good in the National Museum of American Fascist Sympathisers in a few years…
Torstein
Andrew White@dale_price Remind me: which brick on the sunlit path toward justice is this?
TechTH@dale_price Regardless of any ideological thoughts on this, a CEO is meant to look after the interests of the shareholders. In doing all he can to avoid the tariff impact by re-shoring some production, Tim is doing exactly the right thing.
To repurpose and adjust a famous Michael Jordan saying “Republicans buy iPhones too.”
Selling to all customers and not just those you agree with is actually good business.
magregginsYou're a bitch.
