I’d imagine there’s a distinction between targeting one person with a physical strobe light, and publishing content to a public platform that happens to be directed towards someone, who has a choice about whether or not he wants to even view said content.

Yes, and that is not a new finding as you likely know. As much as we can point to economic inequality as a driver of unhappiness, we should understand that people are happiest when they’re around others that share their identity/values. This doesn’t necessarily mean racial identity, although that’s usually how it…

What law would he be convicted under? If Twitter falls under the “speech” category, I’m not sure what standard would be used to prosecute him without running afoul of free speech precedents.

Obstacles like this are always clearly marked in ways that are intelligible to boaters. I’m sure there’s a light at the end of it that indicates whether it should be kept to port or starboard - which is all anyone with 5 minutes of basic navigation training should need.

Civil recourse is the only recourse left, no? There’s no double jeopardy in this country.

That company is a legitimate scam:

Which the article mentions

I’d love to know this lady’s backstory. Owns a Trump Tower apartment but needs to rent it out on AirBnB for a couple hundred a night to make some extra cash, and basically owns a high-end, local florist shop? Strange.

How many variations of this humblebrag show up on every article where skinny jeans are mentioned? Would your legs fit in leggings-style, hipster skinny jeans? Probably not. Would your legs fit in any style of fitted jeans, such as the below? Yes.

I’m sure he could afford to hire a private driver, but just because he’s “worth” $6B doesn’t mean any of that is in cash. Uber is still a privately held company and therefore most of the biggest owners have not cashed out. I happen to know one who is a billionaire on paper, but has very little cash to his name at the…

“Fresh Air” is yet another sign that future bass is the next big trend in pop music. I had to look up the producers to make sure Cashmere Cat wasn’t behind it.

Through the Glory Hole into PUTAH CREEK

I spent like 6 months in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay and my HOT TAKE is that the beef you get at the good steakhouses down there is underwhelming. The general quality of it is very good - it’s all grass fed so you don’t get low-quality beef no matter where you go - but they generally don’t season it enough in my…

I understand that you likely don’t write your own headlines, and also thought this was an interesting piece, but how do you square this headline:

The tech industry is obsessed with solving inefficiencies. To a profit-driven company, a person who gets tired/hungry, needs to be paid, takes time off, etc. is an inefficiency when we’re talking about performing manual and basic labor. It’s certainly amoral but not at all hard to understand.

That’s definitely a good point and my intent was not to minimize that particular issue. The problem is that the media, enabled by a campaign of anonymous leaks from the intelligence agencies, has been focused on a much bigger and completely unproven allegation that is getting irresponsibly close to sparking a Red…

I obviously don’t know for sure one way or another, just as you don’t, but I suspect the answer is a lot simpler than what you’re suggesting. Trump’s ultimate concern is his public image - he’s a PR master and knows a damaging story when he sees one. He tried to bury the Flynn story because he knew it would reflect…

Sure, that is a big deal. It is not, however, what has been portrayed in the headlines (and then contradicted far enough down in actual articles so that 95% of people don’t read it) - which is that Trump’s administration is actively collaborating with Russian intelligence agents.

Absolutely not. The NYT and Washington Post have shown time and time again that they’re willing to spin or bury leaks in order to curry favor with the government. No PR flacks from the government have that kind of pull with Gizmodo, and you can rest assured that Gizmodo won’t rat you out to its government contacts for…

Serious question - what “truth” did intelligence agencies expose? The NYT article from last night is a) based on anonymous intelligence sources and b) provides no facts or details beyond the claim in the headline, and in fact acknowledges that there is no evidence to show any sort of collusion between the Trump team…
