It's the Stupidity, Stupid

We live in an age when no one's minding the store or the people minding the store are morons. Or both.

The other day I got the following in an email from Duolingo, the language app I use daily. In fact I've used it 938 days in a row. Began with French, then Chinese as I prepared to return to Taiwan in May 2023. Kept going. I reached the end of the lessons a while back but still do the pinyin section—my written is so much worse than my spoken. 

Anyway, this was their message. Duo is their owl mascot:

 If I'd purposely tried to sabotage the company I couldn't have come up with a better campaign than this. 白痴。
