I’m going to be on a panel about fuck ups… which I happen to be very experienced in: https://www.meetup.com/Vancouver-Digital-Project-Managers/events/258745187/

I’ve been on this website for way too goddamn long.

These woke advertisements are amazing. They gonna sell so many disposable razors, you could fill an ocean.

Watching Bird Box. Netflix 100% fed an AI the book and had it algorithmically generate a script. This is The Happening, but less entertaining.

1 rule to lose all credibility.

Don’t buy this

“The KGB has a code, and its agents love their country. Facebook is run by people who appear to have no code or anything resembling honor — no loyalty to country or each other, and no unifying principle (other than let’s lie and get much, much richer).” https://medium.com/s/no-mercy-no-malice/no-mercy-no-malice-the-end-of-snap-tesla-af4499558ce0
