You’ve kinda got the order of things wrong here. Univision (which owns The Onion, which used to house The AV Club) bought Gizmodo Media Group, and seems to have decided to shuffle some of its brands around.

Further: Asking someone to come clean about allegations is not defamation, and that has nothing whatsoever to do…

supermarxiobros  below is spot-on.

FTFY

I believe the correct response to, “I don’t have a racist bone in my body,” is to lean in and say, “Do you want one?”

/er wait

Yep! I posted my comment above before looking it up, because even as someone who knows and tries to follow most of the structural rules of language, the singular undeclared/indeterminate-gender ‘they’ is just so useful that it’s always been my default, and I never cared what the rules said.

Looking it up earlier…

It will immediately highlight them as a moron of questionable literacy who can easily be exploited by just about anyone with marginally more sense.

Ah, good - you found the Binging with Babish video. That dude is a master cook and showman, and he puts far more work and skill into sauce than me.

That said, I’m not sure I agree that failing to run a GOTV campaign really qualifies. Not making voting more difficult should be…

and an unnecessary Mission: Impossible sequel

Will you do... the fandango.

So...I’m basically Samberg in this?

How dare you, I’m a riot at parties :) And I mean, I’m not immune to its charms. I have several IFTTT shortcuts chained to Google Assistant that send text messages to friends for dicking-around purposes. And I do think these things will eventually be a lot smarter at chaining together tasks and questions and…

Honestly, all that these re-determined tricks remind me is that Siri (like the others) is an exceptionally talented speech recognition program attached to an extremely rudimentary A.I. They make me a little sad.
