Something something free market capitalism something something consumer choice something something market forces.

If you’re seriously making a joke about the POTUS you really need to learn what Communism means. Maybe take a world history class, they can be surprisingly interesting.

Cream cheese and mayonnaise are both staples of my diet. I am white.

Andrew, how about more great posts such as this one and less “R2D2 Bluetooth Speaker” crap!

I’m also “a pinko commie tree-hugger” living in SC. I also love this place despite the ridiculous summer heat. I have a long “heritage” in SC that includes some dead Confederates. My people may have made it worse, but I’m going to try to make it better. (Rural south poor is POOR. Most people don’t get that until they…

This is beautiful in every way. YAY TECHNOLOGY!!

The best thing I’ve heard so far from the pro-Confederate flag bunch is last night on All Things Considered/NPR. The reporter was interviewing protesters outside the State Capital when it was announced that Gov. Haley had signed the bill and the flag was coming down, and one man stated, “next thing they’re going to do…

I appreciate that this article isn’t the usual wall of negativity that is Jez’s usual reporting style about the supposedly monolithic hissing snakepit of bigotry that is this part of the country. There’s a lot of good down here, a lot of culture that “the north” has co-opted as their own... there’s also a lot of…

So, is there any way to get Siri to do this stuff with Spotify or Google Play Music? With anything other that Apple Music?

And the political right creates a false equivalence between literally every law. “Oh, I can’t punch this homeless guy, but he can sit on the sidewalk all he wants?”

Exactly! I was thinking, “Do people just upgrade to an OS without bothering to read what the changes are?”

I get the Southern pride thing. I don’t think most Southerners fly the flag because they are racist.

Nicely put Jacob, But at the end of the day the Confederate flag ( and the battle flag ) is still a symbol sedition and treason both illegal under US law. By it very nature, its whole reason for its being is anti-American.

Can confirm, raised southern baptist, republican, gays are wrong-> atheist ally now.

“You can just ignore it and stop being offended” is a shitty thing to say. Have some empathy. Obviously we’re on the same page about this baffling Apple decision, but let’s not pretend symbols are meaningless. I’d certainly be pissed if my local government buildings started hanging swastikas or giant photos of Hitler,…

Close. It can sometimes be a love of the South combined with not giving a shit if you offend people.

Oh my god this is hilarious. I am literally one of the “liberal professors” they’re talking about, as in I literally teach diversity classes to undergrads, and you’re not allowed to say ANY of that stuff to students. You can’t say shit about their parents, their religion, or their personal opinions unless you enjoy…

Great marketing, horrible product.

With white people bending over backwards to make excuses for a dude that literally said he killed black people because he was a racist, we have a looong way to go.

“The best Android features that are now on iPhone”

Like honestly its not the fact that you prefer iPhone over Android but it’s really annoying to hear everyone pretend that these features are something new. I bet the iPhone 6S will have a back button and everyone will lose their marbles over it.
