It’s not even a top 5 Kanye album. “Ultralight Beam” is great though.

Fake News!

CBP is staying open.

If Suge Knight isn’t involved, it’s not a real feud.

To be fair, the eclipse is a much simpler system with only 3 objects. Scientists can predict sunrise to the second a thousand years from now, but they can’t predict the weather next week.

“Sure, the same Bible that tells us the world is going to end also tells us we don’t know when that will happen, but I’m willing to wager my grandchildren’s lives on my belief that the Bible is lying about that part, and the world end conveniently around when I would die anyway.”

Patrick Wyman’s The Fall of Rome podcast is pretty good pop culture about change. Everything is historically contingent on basically random events. A status quo that looks like it will endure for generations can dissolve overnight.

But whereas that gave us “hit ‘em up,” this feud gave us “look what you made me do.” Taylor and Katy should just shoot each other.

Moving it to kinja will make it easier to share content / clicks with other gizmodo sites. It may also mean they need fewer writers.

That’s what GRRM looked like when he started writing.

I don’t know what the point of an approved commenter system is if you’re still gonna get notifications for every response.

There were two issues that got conflated, I think because of a bad comment system. One guy said that you can’t be sued for defamation for repeating what someone else said. That’s false. Here, they can’t be sued for defamation just for repeating what notaro said, but only because it’s not reckless to repeat it.…

Or even just a way to read a comment thread? Showing just top level comments first invites a lot of repetition, which is overall not good for the commenting community.

is there a way to turn off notifications for a comment? Is there a way to mute notifications from non-AVC kinja users?

please tell me more about how recklessness isn’t actual malice. I would like to learn about law in the USA because I do not know about it.

The article also repeats the blatantly false claim that Jen Kirkman accused Louis CK of locking her in a room and forcing her to watch him masturbate, where Kirkman did nothing of the sort.

Conduct that is sexual assault in the state where it happened is sexual assault according to me, and also according to the state where it happened. Sexual assault is really serious, and should be treated seriously.

There’s a whole fucking section of the decision that talks about whether the publisher can just rely on someone else’s reporting if the publisher is aware of probable falsity and the answer is that it can’t.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past year, it’s that no, he isn’t playing 4D chess, he’s just dumb, and no matter how smart your side you’re going to lose anyway.

This season has been dominated by stupid narrative cheats.

Let’s assume NY law applies because CK is domiciled there and that’s where the reputational harm took place and I’m pretty sure gizmodo is headquartered there.
