New from me + @BrandyZadrozny: Behind the viral #GoFundTheWall fundraiser, a shadowy email harvesting operation https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/behind-viral-gofundthewall-fundraiser-rising-conservative-star-shadowy-email-harvesting-n957896
its a meta grift
 
12:56 AM
A little late to the news but SpaceX is laying off 10 percent of its workforce
 
1:06 AM
hearsay from a coworker's friend that works in the LA location, apparently they had an all hands at 2:30 PM, told everyone layoffs were happening, and everyone had to pack up their stuff and go home and wait for an email to tell them if they were fired or not
really fuct
in other grifts:
 
1:23 AM
Ahem, an announcement: I was laid off from the East Bay Express today, along with basically the whole editorial staff.
i guess its layoffs day
 
@TimStone Oh teenagers
 
1:47 AM
@GodEmperorDune I'm not sure if that's a story that needs more time to tell then the 10 minute video I saw on youtube once, but it does look like they put in the work to get a lot of first-hand footage.
 
@RedRiderX i wouldn't mind knowing what sort of crimes the organizers are in for
 
@GodEmperorDune Yeah I think I heard there were charges of wire fraud at some point.
A spicy story all around
 
2:08 AM
@TimStone which pretty much goes to show that when he tries to compromise in saying he'll take a fence and not a wall, he's bullshiting and if it was agreed to fund a fence, he'll build a wall anyway
i wonder if there is any legal thing for that, where it's agreed that Trump can build a fence but he tells everyone to fuck off and builds a wall instead
@TimStone wait, was Logan Paul in Utah?

@GodEmperorDune "to succeed in developing interplanetary spacecraft and a global space-based Internet" seems like a thing that becoming leaner does not actually improve your chances of, necessarily 🤔

@TimStone that was my thought too

@BunsGlazing Well, I missed it, so I am glad you posted it.
 
user15026
But like...why would you even think this is a good idea people like this is beyond "Oh I will put myself in danger for the memes", this is "I could kill myself AND a bunch of other people"
 
16 hours ago, by Mad Scientist
@TimStone I choose to believe that this is not real
there can't be even a tiny shred of rational thought be present for this to happen
 
user15026
I suspect a lot of it can be attributed to that teenage feeling of invincibility that seems to come up so often in stuff like this.
 
6:59 PM
@Unionhawk jeez, cutting the piece rate?
i thought it was already legally dubious to do a piece rate
 
@GodEmperorDune yeah farm workers are paid by the bucket usually
Technically this is likely a "or minimum wage whichever is higher" situation, but

"Today, we live in a world in which brainpower is the new currency of success." #Julian2020
many people are saying this
 
11:02 PM
@Unionhawk uhhhhhhh
 
@BunsGlazing oh it was a girl......it wasn't Logan Paul's girlfriend trying to copy the idiot was it?
@Ash added to the fact we have the internet and they want to show it off to the entire world
like the tidepod challenge
 
11:23 PM
@GodEmperorDune more and more people are noticing that successful people are universally really smart

@TimStone sad but expected
 
It's a little crazy right? Like hashtag resistance being all "He's a puppet" and you think it's probably true in like an abstract and dumb way but maybe he really is just like legitimately being coached around
 
I wonder if that was the piece that got posted to our public Facebook group today
like read the room my man we've moved past "russia caused all this"
 
Like not taking notes at all would just be incompetence but actually taking away the notes that were taken is just bizarre
