"Machines built to eat people don't stop until they run out of people" will live in my head rent-free from now on.

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

There's a lot of discussion about #birdsite and #journalism right now. While we are still having ongoing conversations about how best to handle our presence there, we can say confidently that we plan on staying on Mastodon indefinitely, barring unforseen circumstances.

In just about a month, we've very clearly seen the value in our presence here, for reaching new people and having great conversations. Here's to the future of the fediverse! #SocialMedia #TwitterMigration

Facebook is laying off 11,000 workers

Amazon is laying of 10,000 workers

Twitter laid off 3,700 workers, half its workforce

Stripe laid off 1,100 workers

Shopify laid off 1,000 workers

Lyft laid off 700 workers

This is why tech workers need to unionize.
