Twitter layoffs have started...

It's late here in CA, and local news personalities are dropping tidbits and anecdotes. For example, many people hoping they get laid off (so they get whatever severance they are due), while trying to avoid pissing off Elmo Mush and being fired for cause (for the inverse reason). Another example, a possible class action lawsuit for failing to give sufficient notice prior to a mass layoff.

No doubt by morning there will be better, more complete articles available than anything I've got at my fingertips at the moment.

But I wanted to post this, a reminder of how this moment came about:

Because I'm not, any more than any other human being.

Too bad.

Never had Twitter of Fakebook and never plan to have either. Same goes for my immediate family. We are all surviving without any problem. Go figure.

If he stayed to the end of the movie, he'd know this doesn't end well for him. Shame about Tony Stark though.
