Look at this. This is describing a CEO who was rightfully criticized in the media for her horrific treatment of her employees. Fellow Silicon Valley people are treating her as an innocent victim being bullied by reporters. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/n7w3zw/silicon-valley-elite-discuss-journalists-having-too-much-power-in-private-app

Pretty decent latte art today!

This is still the most absurd CD I’ve ever seen. It’s even sillier in person than the photos I’d seen. I like that they had to invent their own “8cm CD-ROM” logo?

I bring you wonderful news: Ganbare Dog-chan *rules*. This isn’t the cryptid game from earlier, but it *is* cool and cute. Please look forward to my writeup, because I look forward to writing it.

Now that Slack have reinvented themselves as remote-work experts, do you figure they’ll keep letting their employees work remotely after they no longer *have* to? Or will everyone have to pile right back into the office?

Wanted to support local bookstores right now, so I bought a couple of books I’d been meaning to read via bike delivery from The Paper Hound 💖

Really good news: BC is waiving the normal MSP waiting period for people returning to BC from areas with bad COVID-19 outbreaks, and also extending MSP to people who have been out of the province long enough to lose coverage. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/dr-bonnie-henry-delivers-thursday-b-c-covid-19-update-1.5503640
