I have a theory about when the business world went to shit.

At the beginning of 2021.

Reddit bros realised they could inflate the value of GameStop - a business selling physical video games which is as doomed as Blockbuster - by just... vibing and pretending.

And now everybody just vibes and pretends across business. Everybody knows everything is bullshit, e.g. GenAI's largely bullshit... but as long as we vibe along, who cares!

GameStop's worth $11bn (lol) and they swapped CEO to a bro.

why do i have to restart Windows to update Microsoft Paint, lol

Daily reminder that there are tons of lovely, brilliant, kind Jewish people in the world who aren’t Zionist - the two things have next to nothing to do with one another - and that even as a simple nerd I can make an effort to boycott and refuse to amplify Israeli cybersecurity software and tools.

My mom used to do environmental activism. All by herself, she got earth day and a recycling center going in town, and was a whistleblower about Dow chemical using agent orange. She was mentioned in Time Magazine for it.

Then she went to a barbecue for environmentalists. They put her down for wearing red lipstick and long nails.

And then her activism days petered out because she didn't want to hang out with these people.

Make sure you can see the forest for the trees.
