So…we’re just not going to talk about the fact that Bird’s legal counsel’s name is Linda Kwak?

Making fun of people’s names is juvenile. Cory really ducked that one.

This story is about riding a Bird, not walking (and talking and looking) like one.

Seriously, what a stupid and ill-founded threat she made on behalf of the company. It might be worth going to court just see see her laughed out of it.

If some old coot starts grousing about a perfectly legal post, they deserve it.

I shared your original article to our city Facebook group as there have been all kinds of Bird scooters impounded. It got deleted. :roll_eyes:

Fitting that the EFF’s response is the legal equivalent of flipping the bird.

I do love that this thread hasn’t become derailed by puns.
