  • I was just thinking about this today. Any corporations big enough for us all to know have likely done more bad things than praiseworthy things. Patagonia is the closest I can think of to a good company we may all know.

    The things with the Musk companies that drive me crazy though, is that everything Musk is head of are things that I should be excited about: spaceflight, EVs, green energy, public transportation.

    But now thinking about any of those companies reminds me of a less funny version of when Mr Burns opens the recycling plant, but uses it to kill large numbers of sea creatures.

    He just sucks the life out of so much exciting tech. While I don’t use any of his stuff, it used to feel aspirational. There’s at least other viable alternatives for just about everything now, but spaceflight is a big disappointment, as that is the most “future” feeling thing to me that there is. It was so exciting to see someone accelerating space travel, but now I hate he’s got his fingers on all of it. Am I supposed to root for Boeing now? Ick!


  • I block most meme based communities because they overpower the rest of what I like, but I’ve been picking up bits of the events from context.

    Does this center around the one individual using, shall we say, a very distinct set of pronouns that a lot of people took issue with?

    I kind of enjoyed that person in a social commentary way, but I can see why people more directly effected by pronoun usage may have taken issue and blahaj changing their rules due to it, but if that is what is causing this big schism, that’s a pretty wild thing that all is this is the result. I’m interested in the opinions on both sides, but it’s one of these things I’m afraid to ask due to polarization like this. I have genuine curiosity but I can totally see how someone could trollishly go after the same info.
