This is an excellent take that will be drowned out by rocket fuel-level takes from fans and talking heads alike real soon. So I will applaud this before the avalanche of hate-fueled and/or point-missing retorts comes, in and out of the league.

“Well, it’s official: murder is now legal in the state of California.”

If Norm narrates the audiobook version I’m going to guess it’s about a 32 hour listen.

An often overlooked casualty of 9/11 was Dennis Miller’s humor.

I don’t think I could ever be able to fully explain why, but there is just something about Norm that absolutely kills me. He remains my favorite Weekend Update correspondent, if only because he seemed to have such a disdain for the audience. His anti-roast of Bob Saget had me in tears. He even made me laugh out loud…

There are those who will read this and think “Why, yes, I do want this con man to head our country, because we’ll be the beneficiaries of his grifts and swindles” without realizing that they’re the ones being swindled.

Its a shame Space Ghost never got a proper revival. In this day and age you’d think it’d happen. I’m sad We’ll never get it because of C. Martin Croker’s tragic passing. (I guess it could happen but I don’t feel like it should now) Zorak was my favorite part about that show by far. He was also great on the Brak show.

“Irresponsible intent” is clearly is the tag line to a 90s Skinemax flick Trump apparently loves.

One of those better be: “Wow, I bet this would be a great country if we killed off the people already living here.”

Has anyone from the privileged class established what form of protest against systemic racism they are totally chill with witnessing?

Yeah, it’s just one. The column could not possibly be more obviously not directed at high school football players, so invoking them as the true audience of the piece is patronizing in the extreme.

I think so. I can’t imagine a situation in which we’d decide that an exclusive Xbox iPhone preview is more valuable to readers than the story of Microsoft Apple sending leaving out an Xbox iPhone prototype to at a random customer bar.

I can’t speak for Gizmodo, but I will say that if I could go back to 2013 and choose whether or not to run all of my coverage on Doom, Arkane/Prey, and Fallout 4 knowing that Bethesda would blacklist me and Kotaku for the next 3+ years if I did, I’d run the stories every damn time.

Parent thumbs-up: Monitoring your 14-year-old’s online activity when you notice suspicious behavior.

This. My daughter loves YouTube and she gets mad when I am incredibly restrictive on who she can and cannot watch. I watch the content before I let my daughter watch the channel. This isn’t done enough nowadays and it’s incredibly disheartening. Good on these parents for actually caring an looking out for their child…

“her parents began monitoring her time online, according to the affidavit.”

When you think about it, it makes sense that it doesn’t work well on androids.

“A new Mario game you can play with one hand!”

It’s a game where Mario runs itself and you just jump and maybe change directions. It’s basically Canabalt 2.0 with and Mario skin.

Fun fact: Your faith in nothing requires an equal amount of faith to the idea that there is a god of some sort.
