Iâm pleasantly surprised that Bezos, as owner of WaPo, is living up to his responsibilities. Iâd love to see a pissing match between his investigative reporters and Trump.
If only everyone wasnât being a bad actor here. The feud is spreading from Gawker to the decent sites on there (IO9, Gizmodo, etc.) and I donât think the people at IO9 appreciate seeing âfaggotâ all over the screen
This was the left nav over at IO9 a while back.
This is on all the feeds, because itâs appropriate for the Lifehacker crowdâŚ
And this is right up in the main feed in Gizmodo of all places!
Seriously uncool.
Yes you should able to say it as long its not about Bezos.
I love how Bezos thinks Thiel should be more âtolerant of mean thingsâ when the mean things are Gawker forcibly outing him. Fuck off, Bezos. I canât believe anyone making me defend Thiel, gross.
Right? Itâs like everyoneâs being varying degrees of awful.
Itâs a metaphor for our political system, I think.
âSeek revenge and you shall dig two graves, one for yourself.â
He is as boring as I as he wants to be. Indeed.
Itâs the aphoristic âshallâ that makes me wince. Dammit Jeff, just say: âSeek revenge, youâre digginâ two graves.â Mic drop. Done. Those receptive to the message will have completed the statement in their heads by then.
Folksy charm like that makes me gag. Itâs so uninsightful.
Makes me conjure images wealthy know it alls trying to be hip. Donât work, never does.
Bezos has earned some awesome points for this in my eyes.
One person has said uncomfortable, often mean, offensive things.
The other is going to bankrupt working stiffs.
When millionaires and billionaires Duke it out over petty grudges, guess who loses? Us.
Obligatory Hamilton reference:
While weâre talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
Smile more.
Donât let them know what youâre against or what youâre for
You wanna get ahead?
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
From the register:
If only that was a reference that I could readily grok; I havenât seen Hamilton, though I hear itâs excellent.
Itâs the slimy Aaron Burrâs advice to a young Hamilton, but he is unconvinced and instead joins the Revolution! (Second song of the first act)
If I ever get to see the show, Iâll keep an eye out.
Itâs on Spotify! Not sure if abridged, though. I havenât seen it live.
Well, if itâs on Spotify (which I donât have) I can probably find links for it elsewhere.
Thanks!
