I know. I’m used to the “awl” version.

How bot fraud works:

Go on, say “oil” for me. Please?

The quotes in the original article from the author and the publisher are laughable in their dishonesty. “Whaaa?! Alt-right?! No! No! No! There is nothing about the alt-right in this book! It’s about two friends and virtue and truth. Racist?! No! No! There is nothing racist about the Alkah the alligator or his minions

Too bad that the person with the courage to push back against those liberal Mainstream Children’s book publishers was shut down by some so-called judge. How many more children will be indoctrinated by that Communist tract The Giving Tree? Or corrupted with the deviant Where the Wild Things Are? Or have their heads

Just imagine if it were raining cats and dogs how deep the pets would be.

...and every commenter should get one comment. It looks like you used yours wisely. Now let’s never see or hear from you again.

You need a vacation from the news. Turn the computer off, Kinja comments will still be here when you come back. Turn off the cable news, the 24 hour cycle of outrage will not go away. Avoid social media on your phone, most of them really aren’t your friends anyway. Take a week off from the bullshit. Trump is awful,

It is so naked and obvious his goals are to undo everything Obama did. I live in South America where America politics aren’t, not surprisingly, headline news. Interest in US news revolves around foreign policy and sensational stories and video, but domestic US stuff just isn’t on the radar. ...and still! When we talk

Despite the competitiveness on the part of management, staffers from different stations and newspapers get along with each other (barring individual personality conflicts). Competition (even by managers) gets thrown out the window during disaster coverage because almost all journalists and broadcasters understand that

You wouldn’t happen to have a southern drawl, a white suit and have a legal practice south of the Mason-Dixon, would you? Because that there is some fancy lawyerin’ y’all.

Stay tuned! Next week: Locusts!

The communications hero for me during the ‘04 season was the humble, old school wired telephone. We had no power and no cell coverage for a week, but our phone lines still worked. I had a line of neighbors out my front door waiting to use the only working phone in the neighborhood. It’s obviously too late to buy a

I hadn’t thought of filming myself. Good tip. Thanks.

I have an old HP Touchpad that originally ran WebOS, is older than your Nexus, has crappier hardware, and it still lives a useful life. Clean it, wipe it, uninstall everything the best you can. It probably uses the default Google launcher and that’s probably ok. You might consider a smaller and simpler launcher

Cleaners and security apps on some of the worst offenders on PCs too.

Has Facebook’s mobile app been improved since they started offloading functions into other, seperate apps? I deleted FB from my phone ages ago and haven’t looked back.

My concern is proper form. Can I expect staff to observe a few reps and point out where and what I’m doing wrong?
