I want to expand more on the comedy of errors that led to the eviction of #Twitter from their Boulder, Colorado office. The story that leads up to this building even existing is bizarre and hilarious, so here goes... A thread 🧵 https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/06/judge-ruled-twitter-must-be-evicted-from-colorado-office-over-unpaid-rent/

    This is clearly some 4d chess big brain business strategy.

    We should run Reddit like that too.

    The whole thread is amusing.

    there’s the “Twitter Dungeon” and the corporate attempt to smother the name

    and there’s this gem:

    Though there were windows, the work areas had no carpeting, so your rolling chairs would be constantly trying to smoothly inch you away from your desk towards the middle of the room, you had to clutch your desktop to stop from rolling away.

    When we asked for carpeting to be installed, REW threw some random rugs on the floor that weren’t cut to fit the room, so they would sort of just lay in the middle of the room or curl upright against corners and walls.

    Actually there’s so much gold in there that I can’t quote it all. Just go read it lol

    This was really funny and definitely worth a read.

    I wonder why Twitter proceeded with construction and never thought to stop it at any point.

    The guy posting this sounds like a bit of a freak. ‘We hated the fake office, it had no logos and we needed to use a second badge’, like my dude, you are in the top 5% of most privileged people in the world.
