I’m super tired of seeing Tim’s name in headlines or called out in articles. It’s not helpful.

It dismayed me to see that such an article was in my feed under “Recommended” and that there were a couple of thousand claps and 20 plus comments.

I was going to add a comment that I thought there were better uses of the author’s time. But then I thought, “F’ that! Commenting is just going to put more dimes in this jerk’s pocket.

I closed the page and started writing this post instead.
