He made the point politely years ago. And nobody noticed. It made it onto Deadspin and other places not just because it was so damn right but because it was so damn angry and exasperated. Bomani's entire point is that people NEED to be more angry about Sterling's other transgressions. If you take from this piece, "Oh,…

I don't think it's helpful to the situation to distract from his message by pointing out what you perceive to be flaws in his delivery. This happens every. single. time. someone who has every reason to be angry expresses that anger. Someone who ultimately agrees with them puts aside that agreement to scold them for…

Listen, we get about 80 years on this planet, at best. Much of that time is painful. The night is dark, and full of terrors. If you find something that makes you happy, and it doesn't hurt you or others, that is a great thing.

I can't believe this is happening! The Supreme Court ruled that racism no longer exists in America.

Sadly, I'm completely not surprised about it. I'm Nigerian, and I live in Abuja the capital. I'm also Igbo (meaning I'm from the south and Catholic). The President GEJ is also from the south (although he's Ijaw not Igbo) and also a Christian. He is literally petrified of the Muslim leaders from the North and they all…

At first, listening in on their conversation felt very strange. But wow, it's fascinating the way this discussion/conversation/argument goes. Sterling is incredibly good at manipulating her emotions. the first couple of minutes are just nonsensical ramblings of an old racist who doesn't understand that other races…

This article makes no sense. Nowhere in that Comcast blog post are they saying that Netflix *intentionally* slowed down their own streams. They're simply saying what we've known for months: Netflix chose to route their traffic through a provider (Cogent) with whom Comcast didn't have a robust enough peer. And now…

That makes no sense. Comcast is claiming that Netflix sabotage its own service so Comcast would be forced to charge Netflix for better quality service. I can see that if Netflix had a goal to expose corruption within Comcast and other ISPs who would slow their service down eventually, but if the ISPs are not doing…

Translation of Comcast's blog post: Just shut up, approve any merger or change in government regulations we want so we can get on with controlling access to all of the Internet on or own terms. Oh, and by the way, your cable bill just went up again....

Was it Cogent's network itself that was too slow, or just Comcast's link to Cogent?

I'd gladly pay more if they improved the recommendation algorithm. I'm convinced there's content I'd like on Netflix that I never hear about.

If the population is 0, then.... WHO WROTE THAT ON THE SIGN??

LET'S ALL EAT THE RICH!

China is soooooooooooo uber fucked. The last time they fucked with the environment is when they decided to kill all the insect eating sparrows and 20 million people died of starvation soon after.

Yes! Sometime in the past year or so, there was some stupid commentator on FOX News who said something along the lines of, "In nature, males are usually dominant," in order to justify some dumb opinion about the role of women vs. men. I was willing to bet that for every animal he could think of in which males have…

This is one of the many reasons why I love science. I remember sitting across from an Ev Biologist who was talking to me all about Hyena genitalia and the false penis in hyena females and their behavior and I was so stoked because A) I was learning all about ev biology, which I love but B) as a feminist and someone…
