There's not a CEO in the world doing $7 million worth of work. Saying this is in line with exec compensation elsewhere is not a defense, it's an indictment. Nor is gender equity in pay an argument when ALL execs are overpaid and where pay equity is worst is at the entry level and among the precariat.

Seriously, stop trying to justify a $7 million salary. Executive compensation is a PROBLEM, and while it's nothing specific to Mozilla, you can say this without pretending it's healthy.

Things seem to be going just as Musk planned over on Twitter
This Climate Graphic is quite powerful ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡
โ€œElon must be destroying the site on purpose he canโ€™t be that stupid!โ€ Last week a billionaire imploded, literally, because he thought he could outsmart the laws of physics. Never being told โ€œnoโ€ makes a person stupid.

Happy Sunday!

A reminder:

The Catholic Church spent $11 mill in the NE US to fight legislation that would help victims of clergy sexual abuse get justice
In NY the Catholic Church spent $3 mill lobbying against the Child Victims Act
The Catholic Church donated over $3 mill to limit abortion access in Kansas
The Catholic Church refused to pay $20 mill to residential school survivors
- then they paid $30 mill for a new cathedral in Saskatoon

The tech press would love Mastodon to fail and Bluesky to succeed.

Why? Because it fits very neatly into a pre-determined narrative.

Mastodon is supposedly made by a ragtag squad who flew too close to the sun.

And Bluesky is supposedly made by Silicon Valleyโ€”theyโ€™re supposed to win.

Thereโ€™s nothing the tech press love more than an outcome thatโ€™s predetermined.

Bluesky Terms of Service gives Jack a 'perpetual' & 'irrevocable' license to all your content (posts, name, likeness, pics) as well as to your firstborn child.

BlueSky can delete your account for any reason, and, letโ€™s face it, probably should.

Bluesky may refuse to delete your account based on its postsโ€™ banger-to-meh ratio.

You can't screenshot Bluesky because it steals the postโ€™s soul.

All disputes to be resolved in hand-to-hand combat with Jack in the thunderdome.
