Next, Shingy stopped by the office of Erika Nardini, the chief marketing officer of AOL Advertising, and handed her an iPad Mini. “Wanted to show you a little brain fart I had on the plane,” he said. It was a cartoon he had drawn of a bear wearing zebra-print pants and a shirt covered in ones and zeros.

“Love it, love it, love it,” Nardini said. “I’m thinking of the bears more as a metaphor.”

“A thousand per cent,” Shingy said.

in that screenshot shingy is not only accurately predicting cancelling being a social movement, but also what would take the world's most powerful and heard person into irrelevance within days of his forced "unfollowing".

I got it figured out. It only took another 2 hours on hold! It turns out that "doctor writing a prescription" is apparently not enough proof that the doctor prescribed the drugs, so they have to fill out another additional authorization form

Thanks tho bud :) You'd probably get in trouble because they're a controlled substance so i get to feel like a criminal constantly for taking my broke-brain drugs

it's possible to be correct while delivering your message in the most annoying possible way that causes people to ignore it, like some sort of self-cassandra

I will admit though part of my problem with shingy was my aversion to "whiz kid" worship in the tech industry, and the side corollary that doing something similar would have been way easier than actually working like I did

respect to the guy who died to keep those women alive

There's nothing in the political culture of the US right now putting a damper on this poo poo so it's only going to get worse. There was an attack on a clinic in suburban Minneapolis yesterday and they haven't said what the impetus for the attack was so I'm figuring it's some crazy right wing bullshit.

two people died, another was critically wounded.

it's possible that the biggest failings of modern america is that we have turned prison into a literal parallel hell dimension where you have a high risk of being sexually assaulted or murdered and so whenever someone even remotely relatable does something that clearly merits their removal from society a bunch of people are like woah that's too harsh maybe we can just do nothing instead.

like white collar crime should get some prison time, but it never does because prisons are for black people and poors. that leniency seems to extend to white terrorists now too.

oh no, he was convicted and sentenced to two life terms. jeremy christian will, god and the state of oregon willing, spend the rest of his life in prison.


now, that said, i do agree that our prisons are a travesty and a shame, and that white rich people get off much more easily and readily than they should.
