THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WORK FOR A NARCISSIST

NEW: Elon Musk fired a top engineer over his declining view counts.

Plus the reason the site went down yesterday, fears about an upcoming FTC audit, and more, and more.

From @zoeschiffer and me.

Employees showed Musk internal data regarding engagement with his account, along with a Google Trends chart. Last April, they told him, Musk was at β€œpeak” popularity in search rankings, indicated by a score of β€œ100.” Today, he’s at a score of nine. Engineers had previously investigated whether Musk’s reach had somehow been artificially restricted, but found no evidence that the algorithm was biased against him.

Musk did not take the news well. 

β€œYou’re fired, you’re fired,” Musk told the engineer. (Platformer is withholding the engineer’s name in light of the harassment Musk has directed at former Twitter employees.) mastodon.social/@caseynewton/1

HR says I’m no longer allowed to answer the phone with β€œfor fuck sake, what now”

Mark's Very Extravagant Mother Just Sent Us Nine Parrots.

And that's why Pluto is still a planet, because it would just be stupid if she sent Nine. Take that, Tyson.

@JRBuckley
Every once in a while I google my best friend from grades 1-4, and he apparently doesn't exist. I can't find any record that he ever existed.

Who doesn't have an online footprint?

Do you ever sit around and your thoughts turn to your best friend from 5th grade, or something, decide to Google them, and run head-long into their online obituary?

Just happened again....

I don't understand why people are so worked up about having DNA in food, when the real menace is lurking everywhere.
Ban dihydrogen monoxide!

@Porpentina2017 indeed. It was funny they did a poll with people and 80% of those questioned strongly believed that if a product has DNA in it then it should be labelled πŸ˜†πŸ˜πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜†πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜€πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜…

The word certainly has some resilience, the way it keeps popping up.

Got treats??? πŸ˜ƒ

This is Freya. She's a shy, sensitive girl who took awhile to warm up to me (she's a rescue and we have no idea of her background). But we're good buddies now and, while she enjoys our walks, she LOVES the treat breaks along the way! 🐢 πŸ˜„ ❀️

I would also take exception to the "random bystanders" phrase.
They stopped being bystanders when they decided to put money in JKR's pocket. Now they're active participants.

Originalism is an utter sham. It is bogus pseudointellectual claptrap trotted out when convenient, then put away when otherwise.

Originalism is a code word for white male supremacy.

Originalism is nothing more than a tool currently in use by federalist society christofascists to reverse engineer outcomes dictated by their masters.
