Spencer's problem, along with ALL OF MICROSOFT, is that they have been far too nice to developers for far too long. They took the criticism that they were "The Man" to heart, and let the creatives run wild with unlimited money. They followed your advice:

As a former climate activist who played a part in pushing plastic straw bans, I’m so sorry!
A new study from South Korea found that plastic straws are overall better for the environment than paper straws. So the soggy straws and all the head aches were for nothing.

Among 32 high-income countries with universal health care, Canada is second in spending, but 26th in beds, 28th in MRI units, and CT scanners, and 30th in doctors.

🚨🇨🇳 A Chinese glass company just turned the RIOTS in France into FREE advertising!
Hengxinfeng filmed NOTHING, just posted a video of its unbreakable windows on social media, and went VIRAL.
EPIC TROLLING!

The layoffs will continue until video games improve
Don’t Nod, the studio behind the original Life is Strange, is collapsing.
The French developer is facing a near-total layoff, up to 85 jobs, which would leave its French teams with only a small number of employees.
The studio has struggled with a string of underperforming releases, the most recently the sci-fi adventure Aphelion.
Don’t Nod has warned that it may not have enough funding to continue operating beyond January 31, 2027, and has entered a French “safeguard” procedure to restructure its finances.

🚨 I AM ACTUALLY IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW!
For the FIRST TIME in my life, I strongly agree with Wab Kinew.
He just called on Mark Carney to ABOLISH THE INDIAN ACT.
His argument? Canada should no longer have a race-based form of identification.
EVERY CANADIAN DESERVES EQUAL DIGNITY AND RESPECT.
Never thought I’d say this, but Kinew has started a conversation Canada desperately needs to have.

"viral math problem" engagement bait upsets me, so here's a bell curve meme dedicated to the one currently making the rounds.
Remember: The mid-wit is wrong; don't be the mid-wit.

NEARLY 1 OUT OF 3 (60,000 EMPLOYEES) AT MICROSOFT BEING OFFERED VOLUNTARY TERMINATION
Emails should be going out any minute to those receiving the offer.
Absolutely insane.
$MSFT offers 60,000 employees a voluntary exit.
60K Y’all!!
First time this has ever been offered at Microsoft and it will affect employees in India, The United States, Canada, and the UK at level 70 or below…
Employees find out in a few hours if they are being targeted for this.
This just makes me think that H127 layoffs sound intense. Is this a pre-layoff round?
Also makes me wonder if they changed some scheduled layoffs due to be called out by @VP. Peace offering? 🤔 Timing is just interesting.
More to come.
When we're fat and happy, we can put up with anything #it'stheeconomystupid

After last night’s complete routing of British Columbia’s NDP social democratic government and election of the first Conservative government in BC in almost a century, I can only repeat what I wrote for Jacobin when the NDP eked out a victory 2 yrs ago: there needs to be an honest conversation about class dealignment as workers exit a Brahmin Left dominated by the professional classes and their sometimes anti-social interests.

“You can’t build a provincial economy on whale watching and coffee shops.”
We need to be a province that builds, makes and creates. We need a provincial industrial strategy and we need to get serious about the loss of industrial land to real estate speculation.
Once industrial land is converted to other uses, it is extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to get it back. And without that land, where exactly do we expect the next generation of manufacturers, skilled tradespeople and industrial employers to go?
This is one of the most consequential challenges we face in British Columbia, with a lot of damage already done. I hope the new government makes it an urgent priority.
