Truly awful response.

This will be studied in future media training courses as an example of how not to react to interview questions about controversial topics. She should have been prepared for the question but failing that at least been able to calibrate her reaction in the moment.

Marc Benioff called for the National Guard in S.F. The city doesn’t need the military on its streets. It needs the Salesforce founder to follow his grandfather’s example, Peter Hartlaub...

Marc Benioff wants troops in S.F.? There’s a path back to sanity, and it’s close to home

Yes! It's surreal.

I can't be the only one who feels more than slightly insane engaging in the daily routine of trying to reconcile what's happening in the US with all the ways we're just going about our days pretending it's not as bad as it actually is.

There's a small clique on Bluesky who seem to think the AT protocol is the important thing.

The tech is never the important thing and most of your user base will (rightly) never give a damn about it.

You are not the customer.

I feel like I would have that reaction to Felicity or Dawson's Creek if I tried to do a rewatch now. Our collective tolerance for annoying in the late 90s/early aughts was a LOT higher.

If you watch only one thing today, let it be this. Watch the entire special on Netflix if you can, but have the tissues ready.
