I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence. I think there isn’t enough of that anymore (everything is always strident and polarized) but you did a great job sitting with the murkiness of what this all means about Bowie’s legacy.

If you read it you might understand what actually happened: even though he signed a confidentiality agreement about the incident Manning just couldn’t help himself and he had to smear her again in his autobiography, causing her to lose her job.

I am going to pay for this wall you want built.

Oh god, I had to read this about 4 times before I realized that the IRS agent was making the dispensary owner pay off the IRS agent’s student loans. I was reading it that the IRS agent made the dispensary owner pay off his own student loans, and I could not, for the life of me, figure out why he would care.

During his confession, O’Kroley told the police “it was easy to kill” Nosal because “she had ruined my life.”

I was once in the window seat of a row of three. There was a gentleman in the aisle seat. As the boarding process ended, it became clear that the middle seat was to remain blissfully empty and I felt immediate relief, until the gentleman picked himself up, scooted over, and started to lower his ass into the vacant…

Still waiting for the group of Cats to sue PETA over being forcibly fed vegan diets and lots of supplemental pills after their caretaker reads PETA vegan-cats guide.

Yup, that’s what happened to Felicia Day, who, as a staple of the geek pack, wrote a piece on how she had always enjoyed approaching fellow gamers out in the “wild,” because of the sense of community, but after gamergate happened she realized she couldn’t trust that sense of community, and had become wary of…

There’s also the “Women accuse me of being sexist, so I’ll say they’re hysterical and just imagining misogyny and the patriarchy keeping them down”, which is unfortunately common.

It was coordinated and bragged about on gamergate forums, where they planned and shared the information to carry it out. They frequently discussed these forms of harassment and then they were carried out exactly as discussed

It never ceases to amaze me how people can try to “stand up to something” and “prove them wrong” by acting in the exact way they are being accused of. “Women are claiming we harass them, I’ll show them through, oh I know, a campaign of harassment. That’ll prove my point, I’m a freakin genius!”

Abortion is health care.

The Compton hat made me want to punch my screen.

I think he likes to stoke the racial hatred of a broad swathe of white people who are struggling economically either currently or are in entrenched poverty. I wish they would seek real change and a candidate that wants to materially improve their lives but that would require real change. No GOP candidate wants to…

When someone changes their subjective opinion of you, they don’t owe you due process. Same when a lot of people change their subjective opinion of you. He has no right to become widely loved and enjoy a stellar, unearned reputation. His rights have not been infringed. The government isn’t stopping him from speaking…

You know that tweeting about people and not attending their comedy shows isn’t vigilante justice, right? And that vigilante justice is about the use of violent force to punish people for crimes, outside of the law? And that boycotting someone or using your words against them isn’t violent or vigilantism?

Since you also appear to misunderstand what Due Process is, let me clarify. Due Process is a thing that the Government must give you when it takes an action that affects any of your rights.

My career and life do not deserve to be taken away without some basic level of due process
