The most important news you'll read today
So, there's only three people left who still read the Archipelago. And one of YOU is asleep...
...But the long wait is over. Finally, finally i have a piece of news worth imparting.

The rules of the game
b1-66er: KTXT is a knife. It's got a serrated side that's a bit rusty...
...and the other side of the blade...
You read it? You're gonna get cut.
You just decide where in your mind...
...and what side of the knife.
Special K: Great.

Walk the cog
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

I mean what you said i think you mean, i think
b1-66er: Conversation with D4rw1n about this graffito
Suttonhoo: Lion Air went down yesterday -- this tail is Malaysian Air -- that one disappeared in 2014, so I'm thinking not too soon
b1: Me too.
I hadn't thought of that wrinkle.
***
b1: On your first glance at the graffito, did you think it was a reference to the Lion jet that just went down?
D4rw1n: Yes
b1: Ah. I hadn't even considered that wrinkle. Suttonhoo suggested that after reading our TXT thread.
D: In fact it did not even occur to me that it wasn't until you asked me just now
