Jo - pièce de résistance Mar 27, 2025

They want to tell you the boycotts don’t work…except Target has already lost over 16 billion since they trashed DEI. Walmart stores are empty & while I can’t find figures on losses…truth will out eventually. And Tesla alone has lost over 750 Billion.
People aren’t flying to US.
Keep up the good work people. You may not see the results published and they may say it doesn’t work, but it clearly does.

Heat Death of the Internet - takahē

You want to order from a local restaurant, but you need to download a third-party delivery app, even though you plan to pick it up yourself. The prices and menu on the app are different to what you saw in the window. When you download a second app the prices are different again. You ring

Everything wrong with tech in 2023 (in no particular order)

1. The obsession with short-term profits severely undermines long-term positive impact.

2. The lack of diversity among founders and investors propagates harmful exclusion.

3. The prevalence of poor work-life balance and burnout culture is inhumane and unsustainable.

4. Too many products optimized for addiction show callous disregard for user well-being.

…And more.
