am i having a stroke, is this satire? what the fuck does this mean?
@Transbian_Arsonists it means "how dare the guys I tried to shake down hire competent lawyers"
@davidgerard my shirt declaring the lack of supply chain security issues with wordpress 7.0 has people asking a lot of questions clearly answered by my shirt
@davidgerard oh good, it’s been a while since I had a good dose of self-inflicted Schadenfreude to cheer me up
@davidgerard Yikes, they're doing everything but describing themselves as 'Smol beans, uwu'.
@davidgerard "Shoggoth"... "Golem Jagannath "... Jeez, talk about demonizing your opponent. He really wanted to be at his mom's knee surgery, huh?
@haverholm so unfair the company I tried to shake down has hired competent lawyers
@davidgerard @haverholm I merely gave a speech at a conference, and nothing else.
@tommorris @haverholm why you sue me, a little birthday boy
@davidgerard So, no updates on making WP the world's leading "AI" CMS, Matt?
