@anildash this is a really helpful insight into the internal motivations of billionaires toward conspiracy and fascism, more than just their superiority complex, it’s about their insecurities and sheltered worlds

@charliejane 4 of these high-level executives left their positions in a 10-day timeframe. It gave me an opportunity to explain to my kid how “resigning” isn’t always a choice. It’s also wild in the wake of a now well-documented pattern of more diverse media producing more revenue. These businesses are actively choosing white heteropatriarcy *over profit*

@bageler @phil @dangillmor lmao, chatgpt will make up a bunch of URLs for articles that don’t actually exist, though. 404s are rarely are paywalled, so I guess you do have a point there

@ifilljustice this is such a profound, if terrifying, reflection on the impact of this decision. I’m thinking of Sarah Huckabee Sanders invoking Rev Dr MLK Jr after the decision and how the court has done to Brown what white America has done to Dr King — stripped the meaning, purpose, and critical analysis, and left a hollow aesthetic shell to be used as a weapon against that same meaning, purpose, and critical analysis

@taralconley who’d have thought that firing a majority of the engineering staff would impact the product??? And hiiiieeee

@taralconley what makes you think the bird app is broken

@mekkaokereke I have never one seen someone invoke “go woke go broke” and be able to construct a single cogent thought to back it up. “Nothing sucks like an Electrolux” is a better catch phrase

@Dahlialith so the Supreme Court undid decades of civil rights protections, opened the door for separate-but-equal once again, and all in a case that has not a glimmer of standing. I’m no lawyer or journalist, but am I getting this right?
