“A story about ships and shipmates” made me immediately think of The Raft of The Medusa. Which sounds about right. Let the cannibalism commence!

Did he become a Scientologist. Something smells fishy here. I guess the easiest way to audit someone is hoover up all their data and sift through that.

One of the “wonderful things” that BB and its BBS did for me was bringing Amanda Palmer to my attention.
Not my usual kind of music - maybe performance is more to the point - but stimulating and a pleasure to listen to.

Maybe I missed it, but it seems like the most obvious label for how things are at the company formerly known as Facebook: Meta stasis.

I’m assuming that he didn’t intend the first and obvious interpretation of ‘metamates’ to be ‘like inmates; but meta’ rather than the ship nonsense?

I never understood why they (apparently voluntarily) chose ‘resources’ rather than ‘assets’ when looking for a dehumanizing financial metaphor. It’s entirely possible that choosing the term that describes things from which value is extracted, often destructively, rather than things that are useful or produce value in the course of their operations is an instance of unintended honesty on their part; but it seemed like a weird way to tip your hand without any obvious need to do so.
