🛖 Bothies are “simple shelters in remote country for the use & benefit of all who love wild & lonely places.”

🤖 “Hiding on Slack isn’t all that hard, apparently; you just have to pretend you’re a bot. That’s what IT Brew’s Tom McKay did when he left Gizmodo in 2022, and he went undetected by the site’s management for months.”

They’ve essentially become ghost networks, filling their schedules with reruns and barely trying to push toward anything new.”
