Wasn't sure I'd listen to this whole thing but half way threw it starts to really get weird. Damn, kind of feel bad for her...it most be hell working for Elon.

She's even sighted in the wikipedia article "In 2023, Linda Yaccarino was appointed as the CEO of Twitter while the company was facing an uncertain future and a number of challenges, including outages, user discontent and advertiser skepticism. The company lost more than half of its value since its acquisition by Elon Musk six months prior."

Great article, what a historic time for SF. I used to love The Dead Kennedys. They were such a great band and I used to love visiting SF in the 90s but I doubt it's anything like what it was back then. I had a good friend who's parents were part of the Jim Jones Church that decided to not go to Guyana. It's interesting how much what Jim Jones would say sounds just like Trump. I don't know much about Feinstein but it almost seems like she ran as a Dem purely to get elected, maybe? Jello has always been pretty hilarious watching him run for mayor is almost as funny as his Nardware interviews.

What about Mono? Looks like most of the people working on .NET are working out of Redmond at Microsoft.

Who knows about the source but I was looking to see any indication of where this was. I actually got a chance to see a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome or maybe it was a sumo event - it was so long ago. From my own experience and shallow understanding of the culture it's probably true. One of the huge motivations is the fear of bringing shame to your family which can be good and bad...it's just such a different culture and an outsider like me really can't fully appreciate or really understand because even if you spend your life there you will probably always be considered a bit of an outsider. And the Tom Selleck movie Mr. Baseball is actually pretty good.

It's not as refined as reddit but the content is better and the community can improve the UI/UX over time... At first it was a little awkward for me coming from reddit but it didn't take long for me to adjust and the diversity of people and ideas I've found on here is well worth it.

Classic tail of an great artist who got fucked by the music industry...
