the NOT WORTH ITS OWN THREAD thread could be revived

they actually updated their post to say they're in biotech - making anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs

they also did an interview and had a message for everyone who's laughing at them "check your own entitlement"

BTW febtus that kid's bleeding feet warmed my heart

fyi I'm talking like mid-300s, it's not like huge money to middle class families in most cities

[featherboa]

> mid-300s,
where?

[Toilet Fleet]

south coast, tustin, guadalahabra, mission viejo... if you're about that condo life, which i am, it's available most places that aren't irvine or the beach cities proper

How's Costa Mexico these days?

i cannot believe how expensive the mesa is in general right now; it's been at end-stage "cool" place to live effect for a while now, where basic white yuppies go "ooh, how fun" and kill the housing stock at 200% above former market price

[hipster holocaust]

When I was there fun was ghetto birds shining on me when I was smoking and having the place robbed.

[featherboa]

yep, and it's oozing into santa ana

[Toilet Fleet]

santa ana has been in buy-up mode for years now; the nice-ification of anaheim is continuing unabated

crime won't be able to afford orange county in like three years; except white collar crime, which clearly doesn't count because rich people aren't criminals criminals (i.e., racial and ethnic minorities)

in an incredibly californian 12-hour span, i got a bunch of weed delivered to the house legally (well, only kinda, but you know what i mean), and then got our car smogged

this state at once sucks and totally owns

SMOKE-N-SMOG is probably an untapped market that you should, like, pre-disrupt by getting in on the ground floor (?)

I thought of you today - toilet fleet - I think you once freaked out on a screencap that showed someone having a few drafts in their gmail. I felt some shame at the time because I had like 8 (I use some as notes that I update)... but today I saw my boss's inbox: over 450 unread, and 382 drafts

i still cant get through anything post sadness will prevail without feeling sad for the guy but i've been playing the first 4 or 5 full lengths a lot. every time i saw them live they were an amazing nightmare

[riley-o]

1st time I saw them was kinda disappointing
2nd time was super great
3rd time was kinda disappointing again
4th time was one of my favourite shows I've ever been to and the only time they played Mayari

this shit is incredible

Mic, perhaps seeing the writing on the wall, had already hired Bleacher Report veteran Michael Cahill in May 2015 as its director of search engine optimization. His task was to translate Mic’s Facebook optimization process to Google. This meant analyzing search trends in order to generate key phrases — everything from “What time is the convention” and “Watch Trump’s speech live” to “How to pick up women” — and assigning those key phrases to a staff of SEO writers, who then reverse-engineered stories around them. “He starts building this little team. They’re off in their own world. Garbage shit. Typos everywhere. ‘Keyword keyword 2017 colon how when where why.’ These poor kids are writing like ten of these a day,” said the former staffer who left in late 2016. “That strategy just kind of overtook the entire newsroom. The desk editors would have weekly meetings with his little lackey… they would have a spreadsheet of like 50 different story ideas that had a bunch of keywords in them, and we had to sit down and assign them to writers together.”

It’s unclear what type of video Mic will do next. The company has been producing video stories from footage sourced from social media and wire services and then overlaid with text, a format that is becoming widely popular because it’s fast, cheap, and gets lots of views. After former VEVO Chief of Revenue Jonathan Carson joined Mic as president in April, the company had a large staff meeting where he took questions. One employee asked Carson who of Mic’s competitors he thought was doing good video; Carson couldn’t answer. Instead, he said, to the recollection of an employee who was there: “I’m in love with the concept of media. I don’t watch any show or outlet consistently, I watch one episode of every TV show to see what’s out there.” Rather than a video visionary, staffers I spoke to remembered him for cutting costs.
