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.

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.
