"Did it cost you your job?”
“No, I left!”
“Are you sure?”
“That’s a really weird question… I chose to leave.”
Nick Clegg denies that he was fired from Meta after Trump - whose account he had suspended - returned to the White House.

Everyone’s outraged that Jimmy Fallon is hosting Greg Gutfeld. Wrong headline. The real scandal is that Fallon’s been hosting anything for this long. The man has built an empire out of nervous giggles, fake laughs, and the comedic range of a phone book.

Companies using AI to replace workers are now furious that workers are using AI to get remaining jobs.
Turns out if you dehumanise hiring, humans stop bothering to act human.

If one awkwardly and accidentally made a gesture associated with the Nazis, the normal thing to do would be “hey, sorry about that - I didn’t mean to offend anyone”. It isn’t to double down and make Nazi jokes and puns.
