I think the places that believe in it are telling that to their employees on the regular, just not boasting about it more broadly so they don’t become a lightning rod.

A lot of folks firmly believe fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture is ultimately good for your business. Aside from the points you and others have made about being able to attract more diverse customers, it also fosters an environment where people from different backgrounds can freely present their thoughts and opinions ultimately resulting in your company running better.

Compared to say Twitter where the opinion of only one white racist male matters, and I’m sure folks who used to feel inspired at work now feel trapped, unappreciated, and unable to truly innovate.

I am now scheduled for deletion.

This is basically Meta saying “we’re OK being a tool of right-wing propagandists, and have no problem with their bullshit impacting elections, because it’ll make us boatloads of money.”

Here to remind everybody that the LA Times is one of the publications that wouldn’t let their editorial board endorse Harris because its billionaire owner wanted to cozy up to Trump.

Get your news from another source.

For those of you scoring at home, we’re taking over Greenland, Canada, Panama Canal and Great Britain.

If the Trump legal team has viewed it, and it’s been submitted to a judge, enough people have seen this thing for an “anonymous leak” of the reports to the media.

Do it.

To be fair, I think it always has been. Think about the unimaginable wealth the Catholic Church has amassed over the past couple of centuries.

I saw something recently that the Trinity Church in New York by itself has like $7 billion in assets.

The trouble is if they step down now, we’re going to get some unqualified, young friend of Trump on the court for the next few decades.

I have YouTube TV and only use it for sports.

I’ll go one step further and say I haven’t watched a new, regular network television show in at least a decade. Who has time to watch 20-something episodes each season - with much of that time spent on fluff story lines that only exist so the show can fill a time slot for 22/23 weeks a year?

Here’s a great example: Lost.

At the time it was amazing. But there was also a lot of unnecessary BS in there because, frankly, they needed to fill time. If you go and look, almost all of the top rated episodes for the series were the last handful of episodes at the end of the season.

Now imagine if they took that show and made 10/13 episode seasons out of it.

I think you could make the same case for most network TV shows. Even if they were amazing at 23 episodes, they’d be even better at 10 or 13.

A great example IMO is Friday Night Lights. Amazing show overall, but that first season was just too long. Then because of a variety of reasons, they moved to 13-15 episodes a season (instead of 23 in season one), and the show excelled.

If you’re looking for a VPN, check out Mullvad.

It’s just €5 / $5.25 / £4.15 a month. They haven’t changed that price since launching in 2009. So they’ve also been around a while. Does everything you need a VPN to do. And they’re based in Sweden, which seems to have some good privacy rules. They also don’t keep logs.

Might be a bit of a contrarian take, but at this point I think Trump needs to have a gigantic fuck up to drive people to the streets in anger, South Korea style. One of those ‘we need our medicine before we can get better’ moments.

For some reason tens of millions of people buy his “'I’m the greatest - only I can save you - they’re evil and stupid” rhetoric.

So it’s going to take a truly epic fuck up that he can’t bullshit his way out of - and that the media can’t ignore - for people to finally see that him and his cronies are all gigantic pieces of shit.

Yeah because somebody as motivated as the shooter in Manhattan will totally be deterred by removing the “Our Team” pages from your website.

Talk about focusing on the wrong thing. How about instead of worrying about how to hide the names of your executives you instead have a meeting where you decide to be an ethical company that balances the needs of the shareholder with the needs of your customers.

Novel idea, I know.

I enjoy that they’re focusing on ‘promoting pirated software and game cheats’ before talking about malware first.

Cybersecurity ethusiast Karol Paciorek who spotted the playlist said, “cybercriminals exploit Spotify for malware distribution. Why? Spotify has a strong reputation and its pages are easily indexed by search engines, making it an effective platform to promote malicious links.”

That’s a very different, more helpful story. “Watch out, Spotify links are being used to distribute malware to your computer.”

When abusing platforms, spammers and scammers leave no stone unturned to promote their agenda.

Money. They aren’t doing this as part of a ‘peons of the world unite to steal software’ scheme. They’re doing it to generate traffic so they make more ad revenue.

As somebody who tends to be a ‘glass half full’ kind of guy, I really do hope that Trump goes too far and does something like the above causing people to snap out of whatever trance led them to follow him in the first place.

Aside from democracy and society as a whole, the biggest loser in this last campaign was traditional media. I don’t think any outlets came out ahead and confidence for many in publications like the NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, CNN, MSNBC, and others is at rock bottom.

They’re just also just borderline disgusting now. All of the ones around me have the same shitty old grey carpet. They aren’t clean. Most of the aisles look like warzones. What little staff is there have that ‘please help me’ deer in the headlights look.

And don’t get me started on having to wait an extra 5 minutes to leave because the 75-year-old grandma has absolutely no idea how to use the self checkout.

Great video by the More Perfect Union folks about how CVS is cutting corners and putting customers at risk, all in the name of the almighty buck.

They also did a video a few weeks back about CVS employees needing to strike to get health insurance … despite the company owning Aetna.

If we can get all of the sports reporters to head over, that might be the final death blow to Twitter.
