I named my fists left and right because frankly I'm not comfortable with naming body parts and fists especially that just seems fraught with psychosexual implications I don't really want to make explicit so in this essay I will
I named my fists Pride and Prejudice, because it is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of two fists must be in want of whupping ass
I named my fists Common and Sense because I'm about to bring the Paine

![Anyway, Lucent really fucked up big time. In 1998 it signed a $2 billion “equipment and finance agreement” with telecommunications company Winstar, which promised to bring in “$100 million in new business over the next five years” and build a giant wireless broadband network, along with expanding Winstar’s optical networking. In December 1999, WIRED would say that Winstar’s “small white dish antennas…[heralded] a new era and new mind-set in telecommunications,” and included this awesome quote about Lucent from CEO and founder Will Rouhana:
On one level we are a customer and they are a supplier. On another level they are a financier and we are a borrower. On yet another level they are providing services around the world to accelerate our development. They also want to use our service, and have guaranteed $100 million in business.
Fuck yeah!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreifk5hhjtxq4xziq5drtistjsduo4eebqteau4oj2qyhardr3bbcsa@jpeg)
