Here's the number that matters:

Girl Genius: campaigns run 7, campaigns fulfilled 7. All campaigns fulfilled before the next one launched.

Cyberfrog: campaigns run 3, campaigns fulfilled 0.

Okay, they're still repeatedly and consistently siding with white supremacists in their decisions. Almost as if the article where they talk about getting a foot in the door at tech companies in any way possible is the issue. Especially low level positions such as...

The rear end in a top hat who got fired from Google is just the tip of the iceberg.

Twitter's CEO, Jack Dorsey, is pretty much the prototypical tech bro billionaire. He's a Buddhist who goes on crazy mediation retreats for days/weeks and comes back to tweet about how enlightening it was. When people point out what the Buddha said about the accumulation of excessive wealth, he just shrugs and ignores it. He reportedly had had Azelea Banks make a talisman out of his beard hair to protect against ISIS. He's also a Bitcoiner who spends $10k a week on it.

Twitter is basically doomed to be a nightmare under him.

Twitter will put a string of random numbers on the end of a suggested username if it's taken. Most people would put in the effort to make a more unique Twitter handle, but some people don't care/are bots and go with it.

The problem with working for the Big Two versus running endless funding projects for Cyberfrog is Marvel and DC want you to eventual finish the art so they can actually publish the book, so you can see why it's impossible for EVS to do that.

There's a certain lunatic fringe out there in the Discourse who would ritually self-immolate if they thought it would, somehow, even if only for a second, "trigger a lib."
