This entire discourse has reeked of “everybody involved desperately needs to Log Off For Like Two Days” and truly, that’s what we should do. 

If this was really a Joker movie for our time, it would have been about a psychopathic grifter who convinced a bunch of VC firms to fund a venture that was actually designed to kill people.

He’s not even a tech bro, he’s a sports bro! Before he was the politics numbers guy, he was the baseball numbers guy. Until it got transferred to ABC News last year, FiveThirtyEight was literally owned by ESPN! ESPN!!!

Anyone who donates to multiple candidates is a psychopath. Who are you people? Show yourself you spineless cowards. 

Congratulations on leaving what is easily the most deranged comment I’ve ever received in my year of working at Jezebel lol. 

It’s projection and shame. “We shouldn’t be ruled by emotion” equates to “I can’t control my emotions and it’s fucking embarrassing whenever I stop to think about it. So let’s not think about it, ever.”

Shit like this is why I genuinely don’t care when cops get clapped in the line of duty. The whole system is broken and until the police subculture becomes one that doesn’t ostracize the “good” officers for speaking out about this stuff (thus preventing them from speaking out) they can all kiss my ass.

nothing

It’s good thing that Trish gave up on music because that song was not good.

Acknowledgment of complicity / guilt can be a dodge in place of meaningful action, or it can be a first step followed by meaningful action. It’s the meaningful action that tells you something about the sincerity and intentions.

That is awesome.

Orrrrrr...

Quimby: Also it has been brought to my attention that a number of you are stroking guns...

I also have this question and aforementioned ennui.

But honest question, what are we going to do about it? What are the next steps here? I feel like we are shouting into a void about federal law and ethics and its making me very tired.

It amuses me greatly the amount of shovelware developers who get aggressive towards Jim Sterling negatively covering their shit games. At the end of the day, he is actually giving them money so they really, REALLY shouldn’t be complaining about him.

Wait, where was the biker “wall of meat” to protect him? Did they get lost?

So proud of D.C. Right now. I’ve seen some pics and there is nooooooobody out. The only people around are bumbfucks with racists t-shirts. (Shocker, I know).

Tiny crowds to fill his tiny hands

I’m sure he’ll say, “we had the biggest crowds ever!!” But deep down it kills him that the crowds are small, just like it kills him that he is perceived as an illegitimate president.
