I guess my point is that they only held it when it was the secondary title. And then WWE made the WWE Championship a secondary title, and then Kofi was allowed to have it. Now it’s becoming the primary title again by virtue of Smackdown getting on the biggest network, and coincidentally he’s not allowed to have it…

My understanding from podcasts is that just under 1% of listeners actually support a show. I believe the number is less for written work. So it’d be more like 400 donors out of that 40k readers. Meanwhile, the writers need to get paid.

Sorry, it’s only the second amendment that gets that level of deference. Everything else is is subject to a bunch of caveats and exclusions.

Depends on how much g/o would be willing so sell for. Plus the team would need operating money while they got on track. 

Nah, Arquette is semi-legit these days. Plus that movie was a long time ago. Time for Fighting With My Family. Jack Lowden vs JR Smith.

Kingston was the first African-born wrestler to hold the title and the first black wrestler not named The Rock to hold the original, canonical WWE Championship, period.

If you need a hand with it, let me know.

This right here is what I’ll miss the most. Discussion about actual issues where you don’t have to start from the perspective of “maybe childrens concentration camps are actually good.” For all the trolls, this place still had good discussion along the leftwing spectrum.

It was never announced on the GO network, but widely reported in other media. 

I also like how they’ve managed to take disqus and make it worse by putting ads in between every other comment.

Welp, that's the worst option. 

I need a site that’s kinja, but actually works. The theory behind kinja is good, the fact that never works and every change only breaks it differently kills it.

Scalzi always brings the good takes.

Don’t forget there’s also the Examiner, when you need to step down even further than the Times.

I’m only black on AV Club, Earther, Kotaku, and The Takout. The two sites I’ve read the longest are Deadspin and io9, but neither are a good replacement nor do they ungrey people anymore. I’m probably not going to go hangout on Jez or The Root, because as a non-PoC Jewish guy it’s been made clear that those spaces…

So, let’s collect ideas for where to go now that splinter is dead. I tend to like crooksandliars, but the commentariot sucks and the site as a whole is stuffed with more ads than the GMG sites.

Out of all of these, the Red Vines one cuts the deepest. I'm not going back to twizzlers, but it still hurts. 

Blizzard absolutely can pick and choose. 

Big difference between a company restriction on speech for normal business reasons and one doing so because a government demanded it.
