“The real reason that Nico and Bethany are not welcome at family functions is probably because everyone is sick of hearing about how enlightened, totally not jealous, and liberating their relationship is.”

Everything about Rose’s drug arrest appears to be sketchy.

Statutory PAYGO is understood by very few people, including most of Congress. It’s another wicket, like the Conference Committee, final CBO scoring, and the Senate Parliamentarian that this legislation has to go through.

Weird times at FoxNews...

Dave Meltzer gives Nev **1/4.

PSA: It’s not *that* Dave Meltzer

Who the fuck is Nev Schulman?

Wow, I’ve never seen a “very sincere sounding apology that is clearly a lie because of what it’s apologizing for” before. Quite a weapon to have in the old non-apology apology arsenal.

I dōn’t sēē whāt thē prōblēm īs?

Not to mince words: Wayne LaPierre is the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the American right-wing, running an organized group trading in religious and political rhetoric to create terror and death in order to move a political agenda. He is this country’s most dangerous terrorist leader, and he holds almost unprecedented sway…

This version is way better:

Especially with the power sources. A few years ago they were really loud. Now the gearing and everything is the majority of the noise.

It’s a low bar indeed where we applaud when the Republicans seemingly do the right thing and decide a statutory rapist shouldn’t hold elected office.

Best robot dog?

Agreed 100%. No good can come from death threats or even just being a shitty person to the developers. The last thing we need to do is feed the stereotype that all gamers are angry little man babies with entitlement issues. If we hope to actually make things better we have to be adults. Thanks for making that clear,…

I’ll leapfrog here to say that there’s a line between advocacy and something else. Battlefront II devs were talking about receiving death threats today on Twitter. I get that folks are upset... I’ve been pretty vocal too... but I want to use this as a general opportunity to remind folks to approach these issues…

The change you’re looking for is a union. HR departments will always work for management and will always work for their interests. At most, they’re trying to limit legal liability and create a paper trail that will protect them from lawsuits.

a common thread in these recent stories seems to be how poorly HR departments handle claims and really only serve the company’s best interests rather than its employees. Hopefully these shitty incidents will spark some change.

Brock, and to the left.
