same day that he sends out an email about how everyone needs to be super hardcore if they want to stay, too. but his job of showing up, demanding twitter be tweaked to his tastes, and then firing everyone who knows how to do that is too hard

Like, when the content of your article is 100% about what an abusive shithead of an employer he is, maybe find an illustrative photo where he's frowning, instead of one that looks like it should be captioned "tee hee". You can do it. I know you can.

One of Apartheid Emerald Mine Space Karen's great triumphs is that articles exclusively use photos of him that read as "happy, smirking goofball", like he's just a harmless clown. Other rapacious villains like Zuckerberg, Bezos and Trump don't get this same level of PR fellatio.
