   Call me dumb and naive if you want, but seeing Tim Cook applaud Trump at his inauguration made me think of the Pride bands for the Apple Watch that I bought over the years and how fucking humiliating it feels to own those today.

     @nileane It’s capitalism.

     Selling Che Guevara T-shirts (oh, the irony) and BLM posters is primarily a business exploiting a trend.

     This is also one of the reasons people feel that culturally significant things are stripped of their meaning and repurposed to sell fashion trends, with no regard for their original context or background.

     And a message to fellow apple tech podcasters and writers reading this (specifically the men): say something for fuck's sake.

     Don't pretend this isn't part of the topics you need to cover (yes it absolutely is).

     Your silence is disgusting.
