I'm old enough to remember when Apple had the "Think Different" slogan

now they can't even extricate their advertising from Nazi Space Karen

@dannotdaniel What do you expect from a firm that think adverbs only happen to other people?

Steve was fired, went off to found Pixar and NeXT. The board brought him back.

In the intervening years, the Americans with Disabilities Act had been passed. Handicapped Parking.

Ol' Steve was used to parking right in front, so he parked in the handicapped parking..

The joke was, at Apple, let Steve park there. He's emotionally handicapped.

@tuban_muzuru @gilesforyou hah!

Well, I guess that's one way to Think Different. 🤦
