What a perfect way to get spyware on to people’s phones...

I’m not sure knowing the book puts you on notice for seizure-inducing strobe lights during the play.

Pluto is much better off now. Imagine a middleweight bodybuilder who gets mistakenly classed as a heavyweight and is just unable to compete and has an unremarkable career, but then finally gets reassigned to the middleweight class and suddenly emerges as a champion, the strongest and most impressive member of the…

We didn’t “lose” Pluto. It just got reassigned to a more appropriate weight class. It went from being an also-ran in the planet category (let’s be honest, nobody really paid much attention to Pluto until its status was changed) to the first and most prominent member of the dwarf-planet category — and keep in mind…

What, that I’ve seen how people lose their minds over these issues repeatedly and can’t see an alternative that would appease the vocal minority makes me unimaginative?

You can’t win. If you use race- or sex-blind casting, then you wind up with a racial mixture. And then you have to address that mixture. And that might distract from the story that you’re trying to tell. Handmaid’s Tale is about the oppression of women, not racial minorities. Not every piece of media has to tick every…

But were they artisinal and cruelty-free?

Cladding of council properties is happening all over the country in all sorts of areas regardless of how rich the neighbours are. It’s a way of updating tired looking buildings without knocking down and displacing communities. The real story is how this non-retardant insulation is either not regulated or regulations…

Gizmodo writers. Blaming rich people for everything, since Gawker got shut down.

In the usa Most public housing is rife with crime, just ask Chicago what the crime level is in the projects. The problem is the poor are preyed on by the criminal element, so if you have a large population of poor, you will have a LOT of criminals there trying to take advantage of them. Plus ex convicts are always…

You said it yourself, aluminum cladding isn’t inherently bad. People do tons of things to make property more appealing. Trying to blame rich people or building owners for that makes no sense.

Pretty much all exterior finishes are chosen and installed with cosmetic/aesthetics at top of mind. The issue here, as I read it, is the non-fireproof insulation.

The fire was probably limited to the unit on the 4th floor until the windows blew out and ignited the insulation under the cladding. Once it started racing up the building there was very little the fire service could have done. The fire on the exterior would have blown out the windows on each floor and ignited…

Absurd headline unless those rich neighbors went over there with torches and lit it up.

Yeah! Boo rich people with their being wealthier than me. They must have for sure been behind this design flaw. Trying to murder the poor so they can have all the money to themselves! /s

Gawker: Rich people killed poor people.

As I saw the images last night I thought it was strange the fire was so intense on the exterior...this would explain why. Very atypical for a fire in a building this size.

And yet in Seattle, when a bunch of whackadoos held a protest this weekend to protest Sharia Law throughout the world, even more whackadoos protested the anti-sharia law protest in support of Muslims and defending them practicing Sharia law. The weird part was that the people coming out in support of Sharia law were…

Man, if they ever caught wind of the memes on my phone, I’d be hung in a public square, followed swiftly by a firing squad, and then dropped into a shallow pool of hungry crocodiles waiting just below.

Fuck prophet Muhammad and all who get offended by this statement
