Yes, they are. Unfortunately there is a lot of sea mammal-on-sea mammal violence. It creates a kind of dissonance that the animals whose type of intelligence we associate closely with empathy and cooperative group thinking are also sometimes very aggressive.

Yes, that is what I just said. Seals are not dolphins.

Says the same readership who bitterly ridicule climate change deniers and anti-vaxxers.

They don’t actually...what are you talking about? There have been some accounts of sea otters and juvenile seals and sea lions attacking one another. For the most part sea otters are littoral, dolphins pelagic. Dolphins at birth are already much larger than the largest adult sea otter.

Wow, are you back again?

The woman is lying, though.

The Bobby Serious of the improperly medicated.

Where does the word “gifted” that is in single quotes in the headline appear in this story?

I know this is unbelievable but we have Anglophone Internet in the Antipodes.

It’s one of the incarnations of the Tomato troll; I only realized after I responded. Still.

Go back to your haven’t had a TV in 11 years, haven’t lived in London, haven’t left the house except to go to Chipotle identity this, time, OK, and leave the academics alone.

No. No academics are pushing for the normalization of pedophilia, not in Great Britain, not anywhere else. And I say this as a #KrautforBrexit.

The “right to be forgotten” rulings in Germany govern search engine results, not public records. The public records are always, and still, available.

I was just about to say, look at Flying Squid’s commenting history. He is a contrarian on every single story, especially rape stories. This is the moron who last week said that bartenders not protecting customers’ drinks, not, you know, men who rape, were responsible for the roofie-ing epidemic.

There’s probably no reason to make a spectacle of yourself and your son, who couldn’t possibly comprehend the issues at hand, in a public setting thereby opening yourselves up to defensive/offended reactions.

According to the lead “investigator,” yes. I wasn’t aware of this before myself, but by those accounts the endgames of some of the “identities” was to post graphically violent images. I don’t know. Something has always seemed a bit off about the “accused.” I’m not sure about the whole writing style thing but the…

I responded the same to another user, but the person posting those images is known. The discussion thread is on Gawker within this post: http://gawker.com/high-ranking-p…

Some people on Gawker have been theorizing that this is the most recent end game of the current iteration of the Tomatoface troll. The discussion, sans any graphic images, is within the threads of the story about the NY patrol officer who committed suicide after being investigated for fraud, etc.

This is the second post on Gawker in a few days about Cattelan: http://gawker.com/but-was-it-gol…

You realize that “art critic” is a profession, right? What if you had written about open heart surgery from the perspective that is was “creepy as fuck” to enter the chest cavity from the front because you didn’t care to deeply consider the ramifications of doing so? Would you you not expect to a) be attacked by…
