12:08:03 <joepie91|m> that_lurker: FYI, that's a rather unhinged rant by a few people who are angry that they are being told 'no'
12:08:18 <joepie91|m> this saga has been ongoing for years
12:10:27 <that_lurker> Yep. I'm mainly interested about what others think when something like that is put in a spotlight and talked about.
12:27:05 <joepie91|m> props to the steinuil person in the comment thread, though, it looks like they did their best to summarize the situation despite their disagreement

16:01:41 <steering> oh god, the onion owned by twiliobro, what could go wrong
16:11:20 <nukke> >To run Global Tetrahedron as CEO, Lawson hired Ben Collins, formerly senior reporter at NBC News covering “disinformation, extremism and the internet.”

17:12:13 <steering> wait, is G/O Gawker?
17:12:29 <steering> ah, yep
