I bet even more than that see a roadside billboard any given day. Shit written on billboards is another thing journalists shouldn’t use as the basis of their reporting.

Local newspaper classified ads are a widely used platform too. Apply your position accordingly.

Propagandists, narcissists and journalists.

Traditional media got him elected. By placing too much importance on his tweets.

For fifty bucks I will happily lie on Twitter. Two reasons:

Check out Brandon Sanderson’s “Reckoners” trilogy. The premise is that a few people are granted superpowers and they all basically become power-hungry narcissists and take over the world.

A persecuted group gaining powers would strike enough fear into the ruling class to cause major backlash, and if the powers are limited and/or rare enough it would be possible to counteract their advantage by sheer manpower. If the powers were more evenly spread through the population or just incredibly strong you’d…

When those two left, the quality dropped sharply. Much as Gizmodo now hates tech and space, io9 now hates nerds. I swear, sometimes it feels like I’m reading the Daily Inquirer. Somehow, Gamergate managed to send all online discussion of comics, games and anything else sci-fi or fantasy related down the shitter.

I used to visit this site a ton some 6-7 years ago. Visited now just out of curiousity and the drop in quaity here is astounding. Crazy that this is the same site that Charlie Jane and Annalee started. This is some gossiprag quality of article. A shame.

Next up we teach them to use Flight Simulator with the ultimate goal of, of course, flying pigs. 

Yeah same here. This is a relief, actually, because at least Whedon is “just” a basic bitch “horrible boss” rather than something way creepier. What he did to Charisma is shitty, but I’ve had significantly worse and I know that wasn’t anything unusual. The shitty bosses of the world (which there are a roughly infinite…

This is pretty much exactly what people were assuming though, isn’t it? Like that Joss was a massive fucking twat, but not anything special at all, just another “shit boss” in a long line of shit bosses. I’ve literally had worse than this - considerably worse, given I used to have a boss who would physically assault…

That runs counter to nearly all contemporary fan discourse. It’s always malice.

I’m not going to tell other people they’re wrong to be offended by something, but as a Jewish person, this is pretty thin gruel.

Anyone else not really give a shit about GoT anymore?

Note: Alex died on the way back to his home planet.

This review is ...something.

Really? I thought that one of the things that the game did excellent job at was translating the concept art into the game itself. I can tell with a single glance where most of those areas are set to. 

Uuuh, sure, let’s pretend Kotaku is doing that out of camaraderie and not because they don’t have any actual investigative journalists on staff anymore because their parent company became radioactive to all their actual talent lmao.

If they didn’t leech out of Jason’s reporting every once in a while all the news you…

Well, it’s not the Internet. It’s a handful of large private companies that we’ve effectively put in charge of the Internet.
