it’s cute, but is every twitter employee a white middle aged male? :person_shrugging:

No, of course not. They are all people on H1 visas and mostly male

They are definitely all wearing T-shirts with whatever they use as a substitute for a personality on them

previously 44% of twitter’s us fulltime employees were women, and 52% were white

while i generally like tom tomorrow, casual erasure and assumptions about who works in different areas of tech are problematic

i understand what humor is. them all being white men wasn’t part of the joke, or if it was - he failed to sell it or provide a payoff for it in anyway

The only thing we have to go by as far as who is there now are a couple of pictures:

While it doesn’t show everyone left at Twitter, it does say something.

(Frankly I am assuming that anyone that doesn’t have to stay because of a visa is gone - why would anyone stay of they had options?)

i don’t think dan perkins was trying to convey anything about that aspect of the change in twitter staff because there’s no such point in the cartoon. everything he put in it is all right there.

in my opinion, he was just being lazy, and not reflecting on his own selections. the default for him and his cartoons is the white male dude.

i think bending over backwards to defend what is a relatively commonplace bias of white male cartoonists is unnecessary. as a counter point, see randall monroe who handles this stuff with aplomb in the actual text and images of his cartoon on a regular basis.

there should be nothing contradictory with liking a piece of media, and being able to critique it.

You are probably right. I was thinking more about what the environment had to be like there now - where the only people left either agree with Elon or can’t leave for visa or other reasons - it has to be a nightmare there. I was more defending my comment about “h1s and mostly men” - not addressing your comment, for which I apologize

I have no idea - my assumption was that he was startled to hear notifications on the desktop. I figure it would be a “toot!” sound but I don’t know since I have not used it

So we are now in the phase which Twitter employees are willing to sell out Musk to TMZ

thanks, and yeah agreed. hopefully at least some of them can apply elsewhere and land safely, or make it till musk gets bored and appoints someone who knows how to run a company
