I find the Zuck’s spinelessness and lack of even basic moral fortitude without a regulatory or advertiser-drive rationale to be completely abhorrent. But then there’s this tidbit:

Probably a good call.  I haven’t listened to a damn thing Rush Limbaugh has to say in 25 years, and I don’t feel I’ve missed out on anything.

Everything about that picture screams “bad low-budget zombie movie.”

She’s probably a 39 year old soon-to-be grandmother who lives in a rented trailer in a small town in Oklahoma, who barely has a high school diploma, is vehemently against “socialism” and “handouts” despite being on several public assistance programs since her part-time job at Walmart doesn’t pay her anything close to…

I’m not sure if this is a good move that will keep this nonsense from getting more traction in mainstream society, or if it’s going to reinforce the paranoid conspiracy theory feedback loop and drive the movement to fringe, extra-crazy unmoderated forums where things can get even more out of control.  Maybe both.

So, wait for it to be out in the wild in “final” form for a couple months, gets the stuff that was missed in beta patched, and enjoy the experience...just like most other games nowadays. Got it .

Beyond that, does it require you to request bathroom breaks from your “chastity administrator,” are you expected to piss yourself while wearing it or (possibly even more terrifying) does the device come with some kind of auto-catherization function?

They could just save themselves the time and trouble and set up a cardboard cutout of Mike Pence in lieu of having him actually attend. It’d be equally- if not more- charismatic and engaging.  

This seems like it will mainly cannibalize business from their Beats line. They could just keep things simple with a “Pro” or “level response” line within Beats...the brand is already so Apple-focused that they’re still dealing with largely the same pool of customers, anyway.

I mean, I get the logic that packing the courts can backfire and get out of hand with each successive change of party control adding more justices until the SCOTUS ceases to be functional due to its ridiculous size.

Florida just lifted the restrictions on restaurant and bar occupancy the other week. Give them about two or three weeks, and they’ll be back on top of the Coronavirus Challenge leaderboard. Ugh.

Who asked for this? Seriously, who’s actually going to be using a smiley face masked emoji? Does any even use the current non-smiley mask emoji?

It feel like Twitter’s really leaning into the passage from Animal Farm, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

On the bright side, the media moved way faster on this than contact tracers in my county’s health department would have for a normal COVID case...so, there’s that.

Wouldn’t shock me if it’s a ruse to be able to 1. dodge the next debate and 2. say it was only like a mild flu and that we all need to suck it up and be more like him.  

I mean, I hate to wish anyone ill...but it’s too late to completely redo the ballots. I’d like to think Harris would absolutely *crush* Pence in a head-to-head race (especially if this administration’s crappy COVID response ultimately killed said head of the administration). So, it could still work out ok even if…

People of Praise is to Catholicism what little snake-handling, blowtorches-to-the-feet charismatic evangelical churches are to Baptists. Largely similar ideology, but turned up to 11.

The next debate needs to be via Zoom, Teams, Meet or Skype. Each debater gets their allotted time, and then the feed cuts away. No bullshit, not shouting over your opponent.

Just...stop.

The next debate needs the dean of students from a rough inner city high school as the moderator.  This was a mess.
