I think the former IBM Global Services (now IBM Consulting) is over 150k people on its own.

What they did with the space between those two buildings is amazing. Very cool spot to check out with food/beer options.

When I worked there it was one building with a very generic corporate lobby, and a gravel parking lot. Then it was two buildings with generic corporate lobbies, and a lifeless plaza in between. Such a good example of how to use those spaces in a better way.

Andrew Tate isn't good at math.

Hell yeah, I finally checked it out in the summer and it was fantastic. We need more stuff like that to give the core more life, more reasons for people to stay after hours.

Gee golly, it sure is a mystery why big advertisers are abandoning Twitter in droves. If you were a marketing exec at, say, Nike or Coca-Cola, would you want your logo showing up next to a post like this? Note: the red bar was added; the original post included the full racial slur in plain view.

Imagine signing up for a gig to model in some stock images and you see your picture used like that.

Musk said the other day as soon as court opened up Monday morning he was going to sue Media Matters into oblivion. I haven't seen any news about it, did I miss it? Just curious how amazing this lawsuit was going to be.

It's a "thermonuclear" lawsuit, how could you miss that?

He eventually did file the suit.

I got my Bluesky invite code finally, but someone on here gave me one already. So first person who sends me a private message wanting it will get it.

Update-It's gone.

How are Bluesky and Threads and other platforms doing, for those that use them?

I'm still on twitter but ready to move along at a moment's notice if there's enough users and a user-friendly platform to make it worth my while. It's going to happen sooner than later but just curious.

I'm really only on twitter now for the sports accounts I follow, mostly hockey. If enough of those types of users leave I'm right behind them.

I've found a lot of accounts on Bluesky that I used to look at on Twitter. Pretty easy to setup to give it a try.

Bluesky is like a Twitter clone, but it seems antiquated outside of following the AT Protocol. Kind of reminds me of Threads, which is somewhat bare bones. Spoutible has far more functionality, still my go to.

Bluesky still needs some work to make it better to use and really attract more users, but it's got a good start.
