8. After years of dunking on the same paper-of-record op-ed dipshits, this is the slam dunk, the glass breaker, the buzzer beating immutable screenshot that will finally end their godawful beshitted careers. No? Alas.

9. Neato! Local realtor hell-site says that area shitlord, Owen Van Natta, who squatted this cool derelict building down the street for me for a few years and turned a profit, is selling his mansion. https://socketsite.com/archives/2019/05/former-facebook-coo-lists-palo-alto-home-for-40m.html
