Hey, as long as we’re piling on, can I throw in the thing that gets ME every time?

When we are kids, and become aware of the existence of the poor, we ask — “Why can’t the government just print money, and give it to them?”

Moral narcissism.

Interesting. I don’t know if I entirely buy it — there are some good observations/counterpoints in the comments — but he makes a point worth pondering. (i.e., that it is easy to mix a liquid bomb at home and bring it on a plan; but it is much more difficult to actually do the mixing on a plane — you need the right…

Hmm. The list leads off with a prohibition on wine, liquor and beer.

I’ll take a look. The frustrating thing is that I actually like quite a bit of Gizmodo’s content. A lot of it is pretty interesting.

I’d be more concerned that everyone will find out that your boyfriend is an Alaskan Malemute.

Man, I would jump ship from Gizmodo in a heartbeat if I could find an alternative that featured mostly the same content, minus:

>> I noticed my feet really fucking hurt.

“Shut up!” he explained.

I think this is good time to remind people how most media bias works. Bernard Goldberg, the former CBS newsman, once wrote something to the effect that “It’s not like we huddled together in meetings, conspiring on how to slant the news. We didn’t *have* to.”

So wait - there actually IS a gadget/technology angle? Weird.

Do Gizmodo writers write their own headlines? I ask because this headline is terrible. As others here have noted, it doesn’t mean Z is “paranoid.”* As the highly public head of Facebook, it’s probably a sensible precaution.

>> Screenshots have emerged of what appears to be a mode that replaces much of the operating system’s bright white menus with black and grey. Like my soul.

Gates should send them a bag full of muffin stumps.

“Huh? Those other states? Yeah, they’re pretty good. I guess.”

So, your position is, it’s all basically a Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. Right?

I was sure Gizmodo was going to work climate change in here somehow.

I read one time that that about 80 percent of first-class passengers are there not because they’re the 1% who spend their time sipping brandy made from endangered rhino blood and sneering at the commoners, but rather because they got free upgrades for one reason or another (like, frequent flyers and the like).

Socialism works, you bourgeois reactionaries. It just hasn’t been implemented correctly!
