I love the chinese "we don't really GAF much but we'll gamely play along" approach to naming companies.

Wooo. Another of my mediocre videos is LIVE!
In this one I drive the all-electric *CONVERTIBLE* MG Cyberster and:

🥔I get rained on
🥔I enjoy a mid-life crisis
Share this or I'll cry. Likes are worth $0.03. Shares are worth $69. ;)

Concur it's an absolute shit of a saying and anyone who used it should be ashamed of themselves
“Work fast and break things” is hot garbage.

The fact that this logic still so pervasive in tech companies, when the work we do affects the entire human population, is an embarrassment

something I will absolutely not miss about joe biden is his admirable but extremely outdated and functionally crippling morality in political messaging, sometimes leadership means putting “these are weird fuckin people man” ahead of traditional aspirational themes

James Shaw (as you would expect) has the best take on this. His response to Nats voters who want Greens to work with Nats: “ok great assume we do that, would you vote green then?” ….. **crickets**

“So you want us to alienate our base for …. exactly no additional votes?”
