My sympathy is limited to none. I don’t give a fuck if you THINK the camera is off, the meeting is boring as fuck, etc. There is no world in which any “professional” should a) open porn on a computer they also use for work and/or b) fap DURING a work session. 

“Anime porn”? It’s called hentai, and it’s art.

Uhh... because it was probably not largely innocuous? Like when Go To Meeting first came out, my former employer used the heck out of it since we were all over the country. Worked great... until one clown set the meeting up and made everyone a presenter. And that meant another clown’s screen got shown to a ton of…

Garrett— You might want to double check the statement indicating he was never convicted. Wikipedia says he did in fact plead guilty to sex offenses in Maryland criminal court, including charges of paying two male minors for sex. He then received a five-year probationary term. (Yeah, I know.). He had the record…

Of course we like political dynasties. We may pretend not to and we certainly sneer at the ones whose politics aren’t to our taste, but dynasties equal continuity and that’s an attractive thing when the original flavor of that thing (some) people liked have been forced off the menu (ie. term limited). I mean how…

Except, if they called him on his bullshit specifically with clarity and truth on narrow terms (for example, keep correcting him that NATO is not a check they write, but a percentage of GDP to defense), then his responses would be assessed in that context.  They keep dancing around what everyone knows - he’s a moron,…

I would think shaking a person with a medical emergency would be the last thing you would want to do.

How’d he go 27 hours without playing Lacrosse? 

On Twitter Diana said that was her.  The new stuff, like the Kevin Durant story, seems to be scabs.

Roth tweeted about that.  I hope that’s what it is.

They spent the last two days making sure that contracted freelancer work got published so that the freelancers themselves got paid. I suspect the video postings are tied to that, as video production is long enough that those were probably in work before the mass resignations.

Posted this gif on Greenwell’s tweet about no more staff, but seems appropos here as well. Best of luck to you all. Thanks for the bears, Diana. You did great!

Bears like eating plants.

Still the greatest April Fools switcheroo of all time.

Second, I want to say that my rational homo sapiens brain does not believe in ghosts. It’s my irrational lizard brain that can’t quite manage to commit to full skepticism. So, although the story I am about to tell you is, to the best of my knowledge, 100% true, and I would swear in a court of law that it happened as…

I know it’s New Zealand, but “overnight campout on MURDER BEACH” is like the most Australian thing ever.

I try not to mess with it too much when it’s “active” but here it is!

I think I might have written this before, but I can’t find it in my post history! My dad’s dad owned a grocery store in Southern Ontario. This was back in the 60’s & 70’s – a little corner grocery with five shopping carts that were on the cutting edge of the grocery store experience at the time.
