Marissa Meyer just released a simple photo-sharing app that solves a common problem, and looks like it was designed in 2011 (compliment). Some people love it, some people hate it. But what nobody’s talking about is where we last saw Marissa: running to the parking lot with an over $200 million payout after blowing billions at Yahoo, the company that faded to irrelevance under her “superstar CEO” tenure, and finally died shortly after she left. Now, the tech industry famously forgives failure, which is both admirable and part of the industry’s success. But, frankly, it’s hard to watch a fortune minted over failure followed by shrugs and chuckles and not at least see where the haters are coming from.

Trump's meme stock lets the boomers own everybody |
Truth Social's parent company went public Tuesday (NASDAQ: DJT), with shares jumping 56% in the first hours of trading, giving the company a market cap larger than Lyft and Dropbox (totally reasonable). Will the stock collapse once the meme gets tired and Trump's 6-month lockup on his 60% stake expires? Doesn't matter. DJT offers the boomer meme-stock investor an opportunity to own the libs and their ungrateful millennial children at the same time. The "great wealth transfer" ain't happening, they're putting it all in Truth Social!

Sometimes it’s just a boat |
A container ship struck one of the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s supports this week and took the whole thing down in seconds. Naturally, every poster had a take — this was because of immigration, wokeness, our inability to build! The socialists blamed capitalism, and Team Hamas blamed Israel. It’s interesting how fast we reach for that wild secret behind the story, an impulse partly due to the nature of the internet, I think, and partly due to the amphetamines that fuel the terminally online. But, so far, this one really does just look like a terrible accident, a class of thing that really does still sometimes occur (sorry).
