Of the 5 (well 4 now) Gawker sites I follow, Splinter had the lowest ratio of approved comments to grey. Like, any given article when they post it would have 80 or so comments total within 10 mins, but when you click on “community” maybe 20 or less are out of the grey. It’s ridiculous.

So you have a small hand full of…

So sick of this toxic positivity BS. “Optimism” has as much to do with raising mental health awareness as “Purple” has with battling racism.

Also, it increases the harm of mental illness and depression.

I doubt their insulated, likely Mormon fundamentalist, community will consider it a badge of shame. Utah is on the list after all.

Of course not. That’s always the tell with them. If you have to google what party the crooked politician is in a FOX write up, they’re a republican.

Is good robot, I swear.

Feature, not a bug. It reinforced their “savior” narrative.

And they’ll never realize the hypocrisy of that action. The terrible conditions these mothers were in only reinforced their internal narrative that they were “saving” the child. 

Ridiculous shoes are ridiculous.

While I tend to agree with you on the Jim Spanfeller sentiment overall, I’m not surprised that this is the site they chose to shutter.

The comment sections of these blogs are the click drivers. When you have one that’s become known throughout the other sites for its “mass greyings”, leaving less than 1/3 of the…

“This is the apex of anti-progressivism: let’s drag people for making progress.”

Yep. Toss this in the bucket with attacking Warren for her former party affiliation in the fucking 90's. They’re doing it wrong. 

I’m 9 years her senior, and was just clearing 30 by Obama’s election. They’re expecting her to be woke about international politics in her teens. 

Even worse, I’m 9 years older than her. I just cleared 30 at the end of his second term. So they’re essentially expecting her to be woke as fuck in her Teens FFS.

This is a joke right? People in WA still growing UW strains. No one is going to Utah for shit.

This really only applies to weed though. Like, I’ve known (white) quantity sellers who use their residence, but only for weed. But, the list of people they will sell to out of their home is select. Even us white people are not slinging pounds out of the house to some Joe Blow who drives 300 miles with his pals. That’s…

No woman will be good enough for this particular brand of “leftist”.  The good news is they don’t seem to get as much traction this time. People are on to their shit.

Most of the time, I find her snark funny. This though? Nope. It’s already being whispered in the tinfoil circles that once Biden drops out, Hillary will throw her hat in, and Warren will drop out.

I say this as someone who voted for her in 2016. That’s not fucking funny Hillary.

LOL + 5 for “Tulsa”.

One of the people who’s been on this trip for the past week or so filled my feed with memes that were later traced back to the Russian bots in 2016. They did not learn their lesson.

On a positive note, they’re not getting as many likes and shares with this new round of fuckery. So it appears that a larger portion of…

Exactly. At least this version of tinfoil seems to be getting less likes and shares from the far leftist friends of people posting this in my feeds than the conspiracy theories about Hillary in 2016. So their peers have apparently learned the lessons they seem to have missed.
