b1-66er: Are you walking out today?
Special K: No. I'm not going to the office, but if I were, I wouldn't walk.
b1: That's what i both thought and predicted.
K: You know me.
From what I can tell, the walkers skew younger.
Lots of pictures:
Bigger than I thought it would be. 47 offices, >1000 people so far. Now they're saying 3K in NYC.
b1: So what do they all do? Take the day off?
K: Go for an hour, there are speeches, go back. Some probably took the whole day.
b1: Does seeing all this make you want to join in?
This won't make Rubin's life easier.
K: No, it makes me cringe, and I'm glad I'm not there. And I'm not sure why I feel that way. Of course I support what they're saying. It's self-evident. But this protest feels limousine-liberal to me. The company is supporting it. That makes no sense.
b1: I've never seen the phrase "ll" before. That's a good one. Did you make it up?
K: No, I've heard it before.
b1: Its great. I'm using it.
K: Me too.
b1It precisely describes an exact thing.
You have a powerful joining force in you. I'm surprised this event doesn't automatically switch that magnet on.
K: Yes.
b1: Would it be bad form to do the walk as a skeleton...
doing a protest/Day of the Dead two-fer?
Hey, can you even PUT a pussy hat on a skeleton?
K: No, yes, and I'm sure someone did.
b1: If you do that, you've gotta put a tombstone on your head:
Killed by Andy Rubin
and top it with a pussy hat...
...And carry a limo hot wheels.
K: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
NOW I wish I walked out.
And a sign reading
ANDY! STOP RUBIN' MY PRIVATE PARTS
