Looks like the Scientologists sent one of their goons around and threatened Stuart, a well known author of Tom Cruise mockery. Still, it doesn't take much to read between the lines for the satire.
For context, here's snippet from Stuart's other commentary on Tom:
"Some Tom Cruise films are so bad that normal people have to exclaim 'Jesus Christ' when they watch them - which is funny, because Tom Cruise actually is Jesus Christ, and any more talk like that and he'll zap your bum with his holy eye lasers.
We're not kidding, Tom Cruise really is Jesus Christ. The similarities are there for all to see - Jesus had a beard and so did Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai. Tom Cruise once had a high-speed motorbike shootout with a Scotsman in Mission Impossible II, and Jesus once did a similar thing on a donkey. Jesus hated the Jews and so does To ah, no - that's Mel Gibson we're thinking of. Anyway, Tom Cruise is Jesus Christ and you've got no choice but to accept it. It must be true because a Scientologist said so."
They are not looking to place the staff in other roles at Google, likely due to their refusal to build out the robot command code in Go or Ruby (running in Docker of course).
Of course they are. Imagine what their quarterly losses would look like if they had to pay for software in addition to the disgraced executive severance packages, plus all the harassment and discrimination settlements?
We've got Pepper at my office. She replaced two receptionists. Yes you have to pre-program her, but she can totally carry on conversations about all your basic office needs. She can notify you if you have a visitor, tell stories to kids, recommend places to eat, give directions to the bathroom etc etc.
Windows 10 is a glorified spyware and DRM platform. Ubuntu is a vanity project which has done for linux everything that factory farming has done for chickens.
There is no global pollution problem that could not be solved by allowing the human population to drop back to 1 or 2 billion. In a closely related story, there is no technology that can overcome the inevitable results of unfettered population growth.
EC produced groundbreaking science fiction comics in the 1950s. Look for Weird Science, Weird Fantasy etc. These titles featured the finest artists ever to work in comics, and the writing pushed cultural boundaries to the extent that publisher William Gaines was called to testify to the Senate on charges that comics led to moral decay (which resulted in the formation of the Comics Code Authority).
Original copies are rare, expensive, and pretty much museum pieces. Luckily there's a great variety of reprints including hardcover anthologies from Dark Horse, and my favorite, reprints in their original comic book format, produced in the 80s and 90s by Russ Cochran. Long out of print but they're easy to find and cheap.
If we could get rid of the billionaire VC's and 58% of these insufferable millennials, San Francisco could flourish again! Where do I send the vegan doughnuts and coal infused kombucha to help make this happen?
