@SteveBellovin Depends on how you define, "quit".

@lauren For some reason, windows in Russia came to mind, albeit figuratively here.

@lauren "“After almost four incredible years at Twitter, ..."Almost four years means almost certainly means he will be fully vested after accumulated PTO is factored in.Musk sacked the engineers with the most in unvested stock options which he is obliged to buy out at the purchase price. This chap was likely allowed to stay on only because he was relatively cheap. Now that his options are fully vested, there is no reason to continue to work for Space Elmo.The notion that any technical failure is the fault of the engineers rather than the guy who sacked all but three of the 100 person spaces team is ridiculous.

@thepoliticalcat It's mostly one of two photos of Leela, though there are others of her as I feel appropriate, and some of her estranged sister that will likely become more common. All to prevent random images from sites mentioned in links from showing up. I hate that.

@lauren Ah! That makes sense, of course. Being an ailurophile, I assumed you were doing it to lure us into reading your posts, because she is a beauty. Thank you.

@thepoliticalcat Well, if Leela lures you in, all the better. She'd be pleased, for sure.

@thepoliticalcat The camera loves her, and she knows it. Little did I know what a rescue of that breed would mean.

@lauren Hahaha, they're talky beasts! That's the only reason I don't have one. Sometimes I'm violently allergic to noise.

@thepoliticalcat Actually, she's talkative, but as a Siamese Snowshow less so than a straight Siamese, and a much more pleasurable sound. I'm thinking more in terms of her intelligence and sociability (at least with me). She comes when I call her at least 75% of the time, for example.

@lauren Lucky you! Izzy comes when he feels like it, and Juju always stares at me as I've gone insane when I call him. Like, "Why would you expect me to reply to that? WHY?"
