My lord, the Overton window is wide open these days… people were saying this privately during the trial, then at dinner parties and now on PW as a historical recap … at the time everyone was afraid to be even *modestly* critical of Pao publicly. 🪟

tech's ideological capture began with ellen pao's bullshit case against kleiner, an embarrassing, unmitigated disaster framed by our partisan, niche press as a stunning, "important" victory. great retrospective from @metaversehell in pirate wires.

thanks to @brian_armstrong and @dhh for participating. working on this piece was a total blast. our long winter of silence, and every batshit crazy thing we allowed to happen in those years we didn't speak up, is a period of tech history that needs to be remembered.

@PirateWires writing continues to be world-class. Mike's piece is fantastic on the need to rebuild institutions - equally as applicable in 🇬🇧 as 🇺🇸. There is no such thing as "exit" from a broken system. We have to build, and fight. London Forever, anyone?
there is no such thing as a “global culture,” and there is no “exit” for americans. we either love ourselves enough to rebuild our home, or we vanish.
