ClownStrike is offering compensation to its customers! YAY!

In the form of TEN DOLLAR GIFTCARDS FROM UBER EATS! YAY!

WHICH UBER EATS CANCELLED, BECAUSE SO MANY WERE ISSUED! THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FRAUDULENT! YAY!

Talk about laughably botching an apology! From the TechCrunch article: "On Tuesday, a source told TechCrunch that they received an email from CrowdStrike offering them the gift card because the company recognizes “the additional work that the July 19 incident has caused.”

“And for that, we send our heartfelt thanks and apologies for the inconvenience,” the email read, according to a screenshot shared by the source. The same email was also posted on X by someone else. “To express our gratitude, your next cup of coffee or late night snack is on us!”"

Cause insane amounts of extra work and no doubt paid and unpaid overtime, and give ONE person in the company a ten dollar gift card. Which then gets cancelled.

A Nikki Haley PAC switches to supporting Harris AFTER a cease and desist letter!

Oh, I love irony!

The PAC is now called Haley Voters For Harris, and after Miss Nik threw her support to Trump at the convention, they decided to throw their support - and their $400,000 - to Kamala!

Little Miss Nik didn't like this and sent them a cease and desist, saying they couldn't use her name, likeness, etc. So the people running the PAC, in their best Eric Cartman imitation, replied with (paraphrasing) "I can do what I want!" Nikki is a public figure, which loses her a lot of copyright protection, greatly weakening C&D threats.

From the article: “Kamala Harris and I are total opposites on every issue,” Haley wrote in a statement denouncing the group. “Any attempt to use my name to support her or her agenda is deceptive and wrong.” To which the group responded "“Our rights to engage with voters and encourage them to vote for Vice President Harris—who in our view is the clear better choice for the country—will not be suppressed,” and instantly gained another 3,000 followers!

I find this tremendously amusing.
