Looks like fired Google engineer James Damore isn't disappearing from our news feeds anytime soon.
The xxx tv showman behind the 10-page manifesto that claimed there are "biological causes" that prevent more women from getting jobs in tech made that clear by wearing a T-shirt with an altered version of the Google logo that reads "Goolag." The meme originated on 4chan's far-right /pol/ board.

Damore said he didn't know how to host an AMA and thought r/JamesDamore would be a non-partisan place to put it.)

He also invited the guy to seek employment in companies that are not "so ideologically driven".
