This is a masterclass on how not to change a company name.

Anyone else would not change the name to a trademark their competitor owns, the logo to a symbol they cannot own and then try to take down the sign at headquarters only to have the cops shut that down because they had no permit. 🤦‍♂️

A trifecta of oopsie daisies. Should we let them release robot cars onto the roads?

I guess a Tweet is now a Twix, and the impending lawsuit is as close as that asshole will ever get to Mars.

Imagine controlling a brand whose name and associated actions have, miraculously, entered the language of everyday life in the only way that can really happen … just a purely organic process of adoption, to the point where competitors use pastiches of “your” words. The kind of thing marketers dream of but know in their hearts cannot be artificially induced. Astonishingly valuable. Now imagine you are a boneheaded narcissist billionaire with a long-term fixation on the letter ‘x'.

It was the becestershire of times, it was the worcestershire of times.

You hear a lot about wind turbines killing birds.

CATS kill many orders of magnitude more birds.

How come we hear about wind turbines killing birds all the time but not about cats doing that?

Witness the power of the fossil fuel companies and the way they are able to spread propaganda

"Move fast and break things" is just a euphemism for "Move fast and externalize the costs".

A lot of times, the satire sites get right to the heart of the matter.

"Political experts believe that this aggressive new tactic is due to Poilieve’s surprise and disappointment at failing to get any positive feedback when he stopped wearing his glasses and it did not result in the nation realizing he’s been just as pretty and cool as Justin Trudeau all along."

I can't believe Paramount canceled their children's Star Trek show about child slaves doing grand theft auto

Mayor of #Ottawa:
"The debate over closing a specific stretch of Queen Elizabeth Driveway is not about whether or not the city supports active transportation. It’s about where and when are the best opportunities for it."

Summer is exactly the best time to convert roadways into active use routes.

@MissingThePt adios!

I love that Mastodon has that thing where someone interacts with you, then you check them out, find out they're cool, follow them, and check out their boosts and find out they follow cool people so now you follow those other cool people as well and now you follow a whole bunch more cool people.

#mastodon #fediverse #cool

Boost if you're old enough to remember ZMODEM.
