The two are not mutually exclusive. You can actually find violence against women repugnant and find the image of two celebrity weirdos running through the streets of LA to Yakety Sax funny at the same time.

You can find something repulsive but still find a darkly funny aspect to it.

Hey AVC — a well meaning suggestion that I think it’s time to update that Covid boilerplate.

I do have a problem with it, because her choice actually does impact other people’s health.

So Slack is enabling an option that will allow organizations to communicate better with their customers/clients, and your concern is that it might allow for racist, sexist, homophobic, and transphobic attacks if the option is abused?

I’ve been giving my dog the same scoop of dog food twice a day for almost 12 years now and she’s been the same weight every single annual vet visit. I think I’ll pass.

Hey, folks, if you’re running a story about someone coming under fire for offensive tweets...maybe mention, at some point, what is supposedly in those tweets? It’s kind of important information. Don’t even need to quote the tweets directly, but you do need to actually describe their content—just a couple of sentences,…

Is there anything more petty than journalist-on-journalist infighting? They seem to think that, because we read their news articles, that whatever inane drama they’re dealing with is somehow also worth our time and attention.

I think people forget that not everyone has the same level of engagement with social media or the news and that many people’s first response to hearing distressing information about a friend or former coworker may not be to address it in a public forum.

Like most decent people, I hate Tucker Carlson and most Republicans, but that doesn’t give me the right to shit on a dead 24-year old who chose a terrible internship, and was by most accounts a decent guy. 

Yeah this is bizarre. Even the article itself practically concludes the deal had no discernable effect on any party involved.

The headline really isn’t borne out in the article.
