I'd hate if a man did this.

All right it's been a while since I went on a sexism in tech rant so HERE WE GO. All of you gleefully sharing this Marissa Mayer quote like it shows what a negligent mother she is are telling on yourselves.

SNL UK doing ground breaking work here: what if we came up with a simple, humorous concept and let it play out for a minute or two

you really do need a basic understanding of theranos and what all went down there before you can fully appreciate YCSE, my opinion at least...

it's funny watching people interrogate the way Nathan interrogates Elizabeth. "Why didn't he pummel her with questions" the thing about interviewing is the approach matters. it's not a deposition. His end goal wasn't concrete answers it was a deeper understanding of his subject

Something that could have been easily solved with a "sorry we can't make it this time" has turned into "you're a bad person if you invite me to things" and "you're a bad mother if you have more than a few hours away from your infant." Toxins must have entered the water supply

The only defense I have for adults who throw big birthdays for themselves is that *a small subset* are actually great ladies who recognize that they're the natural event organizer in the friend group and everybody loves it when they make a weekend itinerary appear like magic
Jane Dashley@JaneDashley22h
Everyones got a take but I think we are ignoring the real villain in this story: adults who want birthday weekends.

Part of the fun of Halloween is the ADVENTURE of going house to house in the dark. Moving through space. Unsure what you'll find at a particular home. Freedom to turn in whatever direction looked most enticing. It's not about the damn candy. Standing in a parking lot. Lame

............i don't think The Dropout is true crime?
g.@GeauxGabrielleOct 26
Also, and this may be a hot take, but Im really happy Nathan Fielder pressed Amanda Seyfried about whether she felt guilty in profiting from the portrayal of a woman she’d never met as she spoke about that woman’s voice being taken from her. We’re long overdue as a culture for questioning true crime’s motives and morals.

It doesn’t work. That’s conclusively demonstrated by her going to prison for it not working.
jos@josiahhughesOct 26
loved YOU CAN SEE ANYTHING (2026) but... the film failed to conclusively demonstrate that any of the tech actually works. like... it kinda all hinges on whether or not Theranos is real

…….he’s the one who made the documentary. he’s a co-director. you cannot actually be this stupid.
Radheyan Simonpillai@JustSayRadOct 26
Spoiler: Loved You Can See Everything. But I'd like to see discussion, as I've been having privately with friends, about all the bros (Fielder, Oppenheim, A24) balking at Elizabeth Holmes potentially profiting from her story, meanwhile Fielder, another subject of the doc, does.

Every time Elizabeth Holmes spoke in YCSE there should have been huge text on the screen saying THIS IS A BAD PERSON TALKING

the cheesecake factory discourse a back to the future reminder of what 2008-2016 was like on here. Obama makes funny joke revealing he's like the average American (fluent enough in gaudy chain restaurants to jest about a specific chain). GOPers decide it means he's not #oneofus. This goes on for days...

.....................orange and black???? i feel like those have been the colors for a long time.
Ryan Moulton@moultano22h
It's cool that purple and orange have become the canonical Halloween colors like red and green are for Christmas. Halloween did not have canonical colors when I was a kid.
