@jwz "Grand" is new to me.

@jwz it telegraphs so much. its like passive approval

@jwz See I think X is bad enough re-branding that it's a case of giving them enough rope. (And tbh Meta is borderline on that basis. It feels cold and creepy, befitting what they are.)

@jwz The sad reality is that the other side is waaay better at branding.
Our insistence on facts is both a merit and an impediment.

At the end of the day, it's people versus profit, and an increasingly deregulated economy favors wealth over wellbeing.
