The “Rule of Goats” again applies. 

Maybe it’ll hang on as the go-to social network if you want tips on how to slip someone abortifacient without their knowledge.

Yeah, so I’m pretty sure if the SPAC was set up to merge with this specific company, and the investors knew that, it legally can’t go public via this SPAC and get listed.

A SPAC is supposed to be a *speculative* on the part of the investors if not the managers. Invested money is put in a trust (with a limited lifetime)…

Tomorrow’s dream headline: “New Public Interest Group Document Suggests Facebook Executives a Promising New Food Product, Soylent Green”.

Every ecosystem needs a bottom feeder, I guess?

Flat-out, they’re selectively treating some branches of science, especially medicine, as if they’re witchcraft. It’s associated with “modernity” writ large.

Let’s not forget “filmed while drunkenly hitting on a Nazi”. She seems to hate Muslims so much that she’d rather spend time with people who equally hate her.

I’ve never wished so much for news of a norovirus outbreak.

But how will they deal with them if they’re included in political ads? Thought those were allowed to be misleading?

Yup - Netflix throwing cash at Paltrow and her snake oil company vs. running a series containing actual health and safety information is a pretty good reason to drop the service.

I know there’s an upload on YouTube. Honestly, it’s not great IMO.

It’s a 7” 45rpm, I own it. Can confirm playing speed on my turntable. A side is 4:15 or so.

I did it in college at the snack bar with the B side of Love and Rocket’s “So Alive” - “Dreamtime”. It’s over 8 1/2 minutes long, and for the average person, nearly impossible to listen to. It’s impressive that they managed to squeeze it onto a standard-sized 45. At the time, a buck would tie up the jukebox for over…

Wall-E was a cautionary tale, not a lifestyle guide.

It’s not that simple with the Iron Cross:

“In the United States, however, the Iron Cross also became one of several Nazi-era symbols adopted by outlaw bikers, more to signify rebellion or to shock than for any white supremacist ideology. By the early 2000s, this other use of the Iron Cross had spread from bikers to…

Gah, the white chocolate bars might as well be candy corn. Gross. Also, Hersheys milk chocolate has a weird texture and has an aftertaste that is literally vomit-like because of the butyric acid. It’s just objectively bad chocolate. I can put up with it in parmesan cheese and sour breads, but it doesn’t belong in…

At this point, it’s hard to find many US-based for-profit media outlets that are really willing to do hard-hitting journalism, biting the hand that feeds them. If it isn’t employee-owned or not-for-profit, it’s pretty bleak. The Washington Post may go after the current administration, but it’s not like they’d get the…

New Jersey is one of 16 states (and was the first one) to enact a “Law Enforcement Bill of Rights”. It’s been in place the longest, and really has taken root. It’s being used right now by the state to block Newark’s attempts to create a civilian review board. There’s nearly no oversight of police by civilians in the…

Toadying and bigotry, mainly.

The amount of control and oversight of municipal governments over their police forces in New Jersey is shockingly limited. Essentially, police chiefs don’t really answer to the mayors and municipal councils, even though they’re part of the municipal government. It’s difficult for them to even set priorities for their…
