Yes, I’m sure the subpoenas will give Mueller new information. Knowing about the subpoenas only tells us (i.e., people who aren’t Mueller) that Mueller is investigating manafort. No shit he subpoenaed his assistants. What they know is going to be relevant to determining what manafort knew and did. Once we knew…

He pardoned that racist son of a bitch as a hurricane was hitting a city full of black people and latinos, and even while CBP had announced they were leaving up the internal border checkpoints (you can have border checkpoints within 100 miles of the border because fuck the Supreme Court), and everyone’s like “what’s…

Manafort has already been subpoenad. What does the PR team being subpoenad tell us that we didn’t already know?

Trump pardoned Arpaio because Arpaio is a racist goat-fucker, and everyone who likes Arpaio is a racist goat-fucker, and Trump’s base consists principally of racist goat-fuckers. Trump isn’t some…

But I don’t think she’s really trying to cultivate them. As near as I can tell it’s semi-ironic because she’s blonde, tall, and attractive. Just being blonde shouldn’t give her a duty to say anything. I agree that it would be good if she did though, but also maybe pop culture can be apolitical sometimes?

Trump is not ignoring his white supremacist fan base. They’re the only base he’s actively cultivating.

As long as no one comes after Buster Keaton’s The General.

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.
