Shed a tear for our loss...

Eat a bullet.

I don’t know how this got posted, but I appreciate it.

It’s becoming clear that that’s not going to happen. Aside from io9, I’m having a hard time finding much value on the network to speak of.

Mood right now:

can I get out of the greys now?

Thank you for consistently screaming what the mainstream media wouldn’t dare to even whisper. Actually calling lies lies. Saying outright that these old republican fucks are ghouls. Calling bullshit on any and all both-siderism.

As Caitlin said, this site was the sanest place online, precisely because it spoke the…

Splinters shutdown is an indictment of corporatocracy and a showcase of the demerits of oligarchy.

*Slow claps* Splinter Forever.
