MASSIVE LAYOFFS! 👊🏼💀 youtu.be/uaSjoBJ62CY?… #Xbox

NYT is having their face eaten by leopards moment, but they still stick their face out.

You’ve seen the Deja vu memes but did you know it’s from the anime Initial D? And did you know the main character got his skillz from (being forced) to deliver tofu? Ads for a new collaboration between a Mabo tofu restaurant and Initial D. They better be playing Euro beat at their restaurants!

As a Seattleite techie, this was a bloodbath! I’m so tired of CEOs mass fucking layoff while raking in millions!! AI can do their jobs? Well AI can do your fucking job! Yeah! Im gonna use AI to make a CEO to take your job! See how you like that!

Happy 250 🇺🇸

The Frankfurter Allgemeine asks: “What’s there to celebrate?”

I miss mundane Twitter.

That should be our goal - to make the world alright so everyone can go back to posting mundane life things. ☕️

The optimist in me keeps thinking it can’t get worse than this… but it just keeps getting worse! I think we have to realize this won’t get better until we overthrow them.

Speaking of wasians, here’s something old school - a photo of wasian families back in 1940’s.

My grandpa is third from the right in the back row. He used to tell me stories about being bullied by the white kids at international schools, and I wondered why did he go to international school 😂

He would also tell me stories about servicing fighter jets on aircraft carriers during WWII. He was living in Taiwan but couldn’t read Chinese so he had English newspaper delivered everyday. When I was a kid, I didn’t think any of this was weird or out of the ordinary.

When he visited us in Seattle, my white neighbors would praise how well he spoke English.

Looking back, my grandpa definitely spoke more of being excluded than of being included. I remember his loneliness.

I guess this is why I’ve always default to being inclusive.

One more #oldschoolcool pic - my great grandparents’ marriage certificate.

My great grandpa George Daniel Tye, born 1896, and great grandma Minnie Kragh, born 1900.

November 29th, 1919.

The thing about the Red and Blue button is, most of the people who chose Red don’t realize when the killing begins, a lot of them won’t count as “Red” even though they pressed Red.

Back to Earth Monday. Had a great time in Tokyo, especially meeting up with my friends include my former boss Kohei Nishiyama, whose CUUSOO.com and its LEGO Ideas initiative was the reason why I moved there in the first place.

Now back to AI and hacking.

Mt. Fuji is heading straight for us!

Typhoon incoming. Lucky shot of Fuji on the train.

The nicest Starbucks in the world probably.

Going home after a long day of hard race, woohoo! ⭐️

Haven’t opened the news for a week while on vacation. Took a peek just now… UFC at White House’s fucking lawn.
