I've been promoting The Daily Banter for political discussions; Mike Redmond's rants are solid. The other guys vary but they run Disqus and are desperate for traffic. I suggest a takeover.

Apparently the problem is that Disqus isn't easily picked clean of each user's data. The googlebots can't optimize disqus data easily enough, but kinja is optimized pretty well.

She's on a show you don't like and that makes her a terrible person?

Fuck that is a horrific type of kindness.

Not enough

Oh ffs how much are you being paid for this?

There are multiple studies now confirming that fears of GMOs, pesticides and "chemicals" have convinced poor people to…stop buying fruits and vegetables all together.

This is junk science, as usual.
Dietary data of ~37,000 adults, but physical exercise data of ~15,000. So they only have relevant data from ~15,000 people. Setting aside that BMI is a bad way of measuring physical health (basic waist/hip measurement would've been smarter), this is a small sample size for the American…

fair 'nuf. smh at the idea that Putin let them go because he was just so nice. He put them in prison and only let them out after serious international pressure.
explain Alexey Navalny?
explain Alexander Perepilichnyy?

While g2 is being flip, it's a horrific reality. The choice for kids in, say, Bangladesh isn't a choice between school and a sweatshop, it's a choice between scouring the dump for bits of metal to sell for food and a sweatshop. Those jobs are in high demand for a reason.
Until the governments of these countries are…

The cynical view is just that they had a new hire this year who didn't know the unspoken rules, and that none of this would be happening if the new producer didn't back the pissed-off woman in question.

They have, but it always turns out to be someone else wearing a Joker mask. That or someone brings him back from the dead in a few issues.

That's wonderful, but don't smoke around the kid.

I would argue that since LGBT+ rights (add women's rights, also denied in Russia) are a fundamental aspect of progressive or left wing politics, that person has no business calling themselves a progressive or leftist and is instead just a contrarian dickshit.

It's a 140 character max, and if you're trying to squeeze a whole sentence in, that one letter might matter, and switching "2" for "to" is the easiest for clarity.
That said: I'm 25, and I think Twitter is possibly the worst thing to happen to human communication. I hate the idea that every thought should be broadcast…

It seems like everything at the Avocado is too set in stone to change it up, but maybe with Kinjapocolypse and probably a lot of people switching we could have some format discussions maybe possibly?
Also, if you're looking for a hard politics spot, thedailybanter.com is up your alley (I think; also, I do not work…

No, he fights people that know he'll have them imprisoned if they make him look bad. He stands next to drugged tigers and bears and stages horseback photo ops.

Pussy Riot would like a word, once they're out of prison.

Life expectancy will generally rise in the 21st century. That's not attributable to Putin, that's just sort of a fact of life in countries that have a baseline amount of money. We have CPR and safer cars and medicines and stuff now, even in Russia.
What has Putin actually done for Russia? Name some ways he's made the…

That was me! I've been quoted!
