Damn those pesky comic books that fit in your hand and last longer than a gadget life-cycle.

Perfect. $1,300 to read comics. Sounds like a good investment.

Why Your Team Sucks 2015: Apple

Kyle, can you just do all the Apple coverage for all Gawker sites from now on? This is the only article I’ve seen today that isn’t trying to fellate Apple for showing the world a hundred dollar pencil.

The same thing is true of coders, but companies understand that they need to take the raw skills developed in college and train new hires. The NFL thinks that employees should come already trained in something outside their degree. Fuck them.

The most sweeping and appropriate answer would be for the NFL to start its own minor league, with the foremost goal being to prepare prospects to succeed in the big show. This will almost certainly never happen: though the existence of the college game isn’t ideal by NFL standards, it’s free.

College kids are wholly unprepared for the real world? You don’t say!

Where did you hear/see him talking about being against vouchers? He voted for Elizabeth Warren’s “Test and Punish” amendment, and that was the last I heard. I like him more than any other candidate, and see him as a potential ally, but I haven’t heard much about his actual K-12 plan.

The funny thing is that the simplest explanation- rocks on Mars look different from rocks on Earth because it’s a different planet subject to different conditions- doesn’t even occur to people who think these must be aliens.

There was a radio show I listened to that would play To Catch a Predator clips and discuss the show, the traps used, the cookies and lemonade offered, etc. Then one day MSNBC ran an episode of the show where one of the predators was wearing a shirt from the radio show, and when talking to Chris Hansen he actually said…

Thats BS! I have heard that over and over again, yet I am selfconfident and have had so many experiences with guys disrespecting my borders, just because they think they can, they’ll get away with it or that it is somehow “normal”. More than that, I have experienced to be harrassed way more when I walk around…

Eh, I’d be a little more accepting of her answer if she didn’t try to pull the ol’ switcheroo of “we should be paying attention to this crisis, not something silly ‘ol me said!”

So the io9 Counter-acquisition strategy failed then?

...and then there’s the universe that’s exclusively populated by Sean Hannity clones, which must be destroyed at all costs.
