to emphasize that the chain is more than just a coffee-and-doughnuts stop

Blogs aren’t the asteroid or the mammals who will survive it, they’re just a different species of dinosaur

Logan Paul, anti-BLM Russian agitprop memes, and NOT Your Sister porn: Algorithms are holding some very harsh mirrors up to how this country uses the internet

More like their publicists are working from the same playbook

This is 100% true. Chicago has some of the toughest handgun laws in the country, but Indiana and Wisconsin do their best to make sure every idiot who wants to shoot somebody can get their hands on one

It’s not about “redemption,” it’s about incentive. It’s far more lucrative to for content distributors redevelop a tarnished brand (aka resume profiting off of a sexual predator) than invest in creating new ones. Development costs money either way, but it doubles the loss to have to sit on an older library you can’t…

I want to say “not everyone, we need institutional experience!” But goddamn, just hire a few on as consultants during the rebuild or something. An institution that would think something like this was a good and necessary idea isn’t one worth defending

Complaints about Millennials (lazy, entitled, bad spending habits/priorities, overly complicated personal lives, etc) tend to be the exact same complaints wealthy people have about poor people. That dynamic encourages people to resent their peers while shamelessly trying to appeal to the complainers, instead of…

“From the visionary director of The Walk...”

I reached out to the owner to make it right almost immediately and instead of responding made a marketing campaign out of it. Good for her. I wish the bakery all the success apologize for my actions and hope we can all move on from this.

I feel so cheated out of the Solo/Fett/Kenobi trilogy I’ve built in my head, where Maul and Jabba end up in a massive gang war that each protagonist only sees from their perspective (Boba Fett could be the exception)

Again, I have zero interest in exploring the actions of a dude that doesn’t work here. It’s worth exploring Gizmodo’s role in Facebook’s current situation, especially by Gizmodo themselves during further reporting

I don’t think the laws in Maryland put as many restrictions on what security could or couldn’t screen for that day as much as the laws in Florida might have

Or he has no regrets because he didn’t violate journalistic ethics, I honestly can’t say for sure because I don’t have the depth of knowledge about it

Regardless of whether fault ultimately lies with the audience or the publication (It’s a nuanced issue and I don’t have the depth of knowledge to say one way or another if the headline was unethical), it’s impossible to ignore the incredible amount of mileage that article got by sheer virtue of being a “left”…

Better than that, people who know you cheat and lie will decide it’s easier to just give you what you want immediately than tie themselves into your bullshit any more than they have to

You called it. When I posted it the two comments were almost in sequence and I wanted to make sure that stayed the case

There are very few actors anymore who can skate by almost entirely on charisma and goodwill, and can make you walk away from a movie with an outright terrible script, direction, and special effects thinking it was actually pretty good for what it was. Jumanji 2 was basically an Avengers movie of those people
