Shane Gillis and Atsuko Okatsuka turned the invitation down.

Atsuko has been outspoken about it and Shane said on his podcast he wouldn’t work for the people who did 9/11.

He’s trying to be disruptive in the same way as politicians in the Trump regime, and there’s probably a reason for that. Maybe the same reason he won’t get his security clearance?

Thank you for making this straightforward, otter. I really appreciate the post.

80 years later and I’m happy to hear the Germans are rearming… my grandfather must be looking down wondering if the world will ever make sense.

So price increase in the US due to tariffs, as expected, but they raised the prices in Canada too? What kind of bullshit is that? Fuck you, Nintendo.

Gus Gus my dear, Though I spend my days in conversation, Please remember me!

Everyone wipes down their bathrooms before company comes over, and lives with a layer of TP dust and pubes the rest of the time.

Relay for Reddit hung on for an extra month or two, so we’re nearly at 2 years as well. Wow.

Thought antelope was a type of Ukrainian drone

Can’t win them all, I guess. 😮‍💨

Oh, a fellow Requiem for a Dream connoisseur!

Thanks, I’d be interested in the next part of your Headscale write up!

My company switched from Microsoft Office products to to Google Workspace. Gemini is integrated with everything in workspace now. The expectation from execs is that we use these tools to do more with fewer people.

They already chopped the people, but because the AI tools haven’t saved us from how deep they cut yet, The Big Giant Head is now tracking how much each of us use the tools every day to make sure we’re trying…

Stay out of corpo jobs if you can, peeps.

Articulates the grovelling of Gemini perfectly. I am expected to use it at work now and I can’t stand all the patronizing knob-polishing it’s constantly doing.

Interesting and with credibility, Misk as I tend to agree with your posts and comments (+20!). I just don’t trust my company even after 20 years and moving into leadership years ago, so anytime I see a corporation making a choice like this I can’t help but be extremely skeptical.

I would always prefer a base salary increase to my arbitrary bonus, but with the balance between net benefit to employees over the bottom line of the Corp, why would a company do it if it didn’t pay out less in the long run? Or are they counting on merit based salary levels for performant individuals being a better deal over typical company-wide gaming of bonuses being easier to control?

Reading the article it seems to be related to a shortage of labour in Japan, so not my situation where we have been laying off people for years now. I’d love it if we did this for positive reasons like attracting better talent and increasing average salaries. I guess that’s where my disconnect is.

If corpo decides to do this, it is a net benefit to the company and not the employees. I await my own shit corp implementing this in the future…

I wonder how Nintendo will react when it’s their turn 😆
