“That’s a wrap, Zuck. UberOmega has moved on.”

I hope they don’t do it. I know a lot of people want it, but research suggests downvoting leads to more prolific and strident posting by those who are downvoted. I guess that could be good for clicks, though, which might be a reason for Facebook to add it.

The reason this is a dumb idea is that it’s predicated on the concept that people who are opposed to gay marriage are motivated by anything other than a desire to harm gay people. The people who oppose legalizing gay marriage would oppose this idea just as vociferously, and for exactly the same reason: it takes away a…

Since no one else has talked about this - I don’t think - did anyone notice that in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the reference to Robin Williams character was the words “Alan Parrish was here” scratched on his jungle hide out.

When Kelly publicly lied about Congresswoman Waters as part of his defense of Trump, he said “When I was a kid, Women were sacred and looked upon with great honor...” I literally got the creeps at that point. He grew up in a Catholic community in working class Boston in the fifties, I know exactly how much honor women…

Respectfully, I wonder if you understate the importance of the original. My parents watched it and I do think it sort of eased my coming-out process— at a time where I felt uncertain about how, for example, my dad might feel about me, I knew he liked these five gay men on his TV once a week. They were like a gay…

I don’t know what it is about this new space race that has captivated me so much, but I wept during the launch yesterday. I didn’t become fascinated with space until after college, so I missed that boat for getting involved professionally. But I’m so glad there are people like Elon Musk willing to make the investments…

As bad as Kinja is, one would think that whoever designed this platform would try to avoid autoplay videos. It’s as if they are trolling us and are trying to make the worst website possible without it being obvious.

Hey man, free market solutions and shit.

<whispers> But it was the *Spanish flu.... so, you know....

God this place hates women so much

Oh yeah the judges thing is a good point. That’s the effect the trump administration will have for years and decades to come.

They want to appoint more Federal judges. They want to remain in power long enough to see Kennedy and RBG retire so they can pack the Supreme Court with conservatives. They want to make sure they can tie the hands of the Dems when/if they take over Congress and eventually the White House.

There still some environment left to destroy? And some insufficiently terrified non-white people?

They’re thinking that they need to genuflect before Trump in order to maintain favor with his stupid, fearful, racist base. As for the so-called “principled conservatives” that are bailing instead of running for re-election, I think they’re trying to keep their options open for a cushy job as a cable news pundit or…

Because half their slimy asses are complicit in it.

The republicans got their awful tax law and pleased their billionaire overlords, so I don’t get why they’re still carrying water for trump to the point where nothing else matters. It’s not surprising they’re putting party over country but to what end?

Let me guess, your work life has been shitty and you resent anyone fighting for anything better.

AKA: Work has it was done a century ago by people with no protections, options, or a reasonable employer.

The bullshit incentives in favor of giving people actual wages is everywhere in retail. I remember in the early 90s, going to retail pep rallies and being annoyed that after a year and a half, they begrudged us a 25 cent an hour raise. We also found out that the manager got a bonus if she kept salaries under a certain…
