It’s very clearly not an “asset flip,” and anyone calling it that doesn’t actually know what an asset flip is.

Working on it now 👍🏼

Any chance you will update your story to mention how both Smith and Cameron released statements saying that they were misled by Rolling Stone and that their words were taken out of context? 

So much was lost with Stephen Totillo going over to axios, he was a great EIC over here. Though to his defense, all of the issues ultimately come down to ‘ol herb and his meddling.

Honestly starting to miss old Kotaku. Need to start weening myself off by going to ars technica or hell, even Polygon is better at this point

Okay, Stephen Ddungu here. Firstly Jeremy, I didn’t know you were going to make it a race issue, I’m quite disappointed to be honest.

Very true about contingency plans for the musicians. Pearl Jam has this situation after Matt Cameron caught covid on tour.

Damn dude you're just bloodthirsty. Please don't ever become a cop.

Where do you keep coming up with that nonsense 30 years number? Can you name even one mass shooter who has been released on parole after having been convicted? Even in “bleeding heart” California, Charles Manson died in prison, never having been approved for parole. Two of Manson’s co-conspirators have experienced…

No. The government should not be in the business of killing people, even though the desire for retribution is powerful. Put him in prison for the rest of his life. Let the story fade away. Forgotten losers do not inspire successors and imitators, but martyrs do.

I mean, it’s common sense in a authoritarian police state where the police can brutalize people with total impunity (good luck with your lawyer achieving anything), which I guess is what you’re saying the US is.

You can’t be serious. Are you genuinely suggesting that there’s no possible way to get a man who is face down on the sidewalk in handcuffs who is outnumbered several times over by trained cops into the back of a squad car without killing them if they don’t surrender? Is that also why they didn’t try to render medical…

Well if they don’t bring them in alive, how are they supposed to buy them free hamburgers?

Spoken like a future mass-shooter pretending that /pol/ isn’t an issue.

MAYBE things would have gone differently if the arresting officers had known he killed a retired cop during his rampage, but that’s just fucked up in a different way. But yeah, it’s just “odd” how the guys with the body armor and guns and white supremacist manifestos never find themselves in choke holds or with knees…

Yea, I was thinking something similar. How the hell do they always take this assh0les alive. Fucking cowards always shoot unarmed civilians and then surrender immediately to the police without a fight.

Weird how cops are so good at bringing in these heavily armed and outfitted white supremacist killers alive but can’t seem to get George Floyd or Eric Garner in the back of a squad car without oopsie doopsie murdering them

There’s a better presentation of that story, a play, Lasso of Truth by Carson Kreither. Gets into his consternation of not only the lie detector being thoroughly debunked, but also Wonder Woman shifting away from the original “inherently peaceful woman” premise in accordance with different historical mores. That his…

Sorry, my timeline doesn’t even believe vaccines work. Everyone here definitely thinks polygraphs are foolproof lie detectors.

I’m being a little bit of a jerk with the picture...so I want to say I absolutely don’t doubt that the tool was made/greenlight in good faith, and I think that people doing their best to try and identify all the unknown biases they have is an admirable goal, but *goddamned* this is the most Silicon Valley-ass solution…
