I wish wish wish this was the case haha

TJ Miller is completely out and Thomas Middleditch turned out to be not so nice. Kumail is doing Marvel shit now.

Silicon Valley isn't coming back.

I wouldn't read anything into the presence of tracking pixels. They plausibly would route all outbound mail through some system which instruments it with click tracking and tracking pixels, and probably also handles rate limiting, bounced delivery, unsubscribe, etc.

At least, I'd consider doing something like that if my systems sent a lot of email and had to deal with a myriad of tracking and compliance needs.

Plus if you're going to send an "accidental" email that gets everybody talking, you would absolutely want to use something a little less dry and clinical, because that'd get a lot more coverage outside of the usual tech circles.
