Tumblr Staff: News!

staff:

Everyone, I’m elated to tell you that Tumblr will be joining Yahoo.

Before touching on how awesome this is, let me try to allay any concerns: We’re not turning purple. Our headquarters isn’t moving. Our team isn’t changing. Our roadmap isn’t changing. And our mission – to empower creators to…

The sign-off there gives me hope.

To be or not to be (at the office) 
High-profile Yahoo Inc. CEO Marissa Mayer may have spent her goodwill in declaring that employees may no longer work from home. The reason? As explained by Yahoo Human Resources Chief Jackie Reses in a memo sent to employees: 

“To become the absolute best place to work, communication and collaboration will be important, so we need to be working side-by-side. That is why it is critical that we are all present in our offices.”

Mayer’s black-and-white policy has particularly offended working mothers, a group that Mayer herself just joined - and has compensated for by using her vast personal wealth to build a nursery next to her office.

Many view telecommuting as the only way time-crunched women can care for young children and advance their careers without the pay, privilege or perks that come with being the chief executive of a Fortune 500 company.

Read more on the growing backlash here.

Thoughts on this issue? Think this flies against recent logic on the matter?

As Yahoo proves even more than before that it’s a back-asswards relic of a bygone era.

So, my girlfriend and I just got done watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas and I had a startling realization. The Whoville-ians are cultists who cast a spell that forces the Grinch to give back the presents. Let me present my case.
At the beginning of the movie, the Whoville-ians are playing all sorts of instruments, clearly taking part in some sort of ritual.
The Grinch isn’t very quiet when he’s stealing everything. Only a child bothers to check on him (Cindy Lou Who). The others? Despite the noise that he clearly makes, they just let him steal everything. Because they know they’ll have it back soon enough.
When Christmas morning arrives and the Whoville-ians start singing, a fucking giant ball of light rises out of their circle. Seriously, that’s some DBZ Spirit Bomb level shit there.
Upon seeing the Spirit Bomb and hearing the singing, the Grinch’s eyes change color. Then, once he receives the Whoville-ians command to bring back the gifts, he is somehow imbued with superhuman strength! If that isn’t evidence of crazy cultist magic, I don’t know what is.
When the Grinch drives the sleigh down the hill to return the gifts, the Whoville-ians have already made room in their circle for him. They never even turned to look. They knew he was coming. 
Furthermore, there’s a seat reserved for the Grinch at the end of their dinner table! It’s not like there were a bunch of spare seats; they clearly left just one open. And they knew who their special guest would be.
I hope I’ve convinced you. The Grinch wasn’t a villain-turned-hero. He was a hero-turned-victim.
