WeWork has always been a garbage company. Not to say they picked UP garbage – – that would actually be useful and valuable – – but that the company was, ya know, garbage.

Slope initially began as a blog, so this is where most of the website’s content resides. Here we have tens of thousands of posts dating back over a decade. These are listed in reverse chronological order.

Just a couple of knick-knacks during this quiet weekend………..
First, I ran a poll on X, and the results are………..interesting!

Although I don’t hang out in the comments section much, I always read the most popular comments each evening from the Daily Digest. I noticed that tonight, far and away the most like comment was from Arizona Slim, the elder statesman of Slope.

I get a lot of emails. 99% of them are spam, typically wanting me to put up “promotional” posts on Slope (I never do, so, you’re welcome) or pushing some service on me. As for the others, they typically are informative or friendly, but once or twice a year, I get something snarky or mean.
Earlier this week, I got one of those. It wasn’t anything too nasty; indeed, it was an empty email! The only content it had was the subject line itself, which read, in its entirety:

Now, this chap wasn’t a Sloper. I’m guessing he saw me mention owning a Tesla on tastylive, or maybe he read it on Slope and wasn’t a registered user. In any case, he knew I owned a Tesla (I actually own two) and, evidently being no fan of Elon Musk, he demanded that I explain myself.
