As a completely boring human in real life, let me tell you, it makes me feel very good that people would sooner romance me than someone trying hard to be an interesting character.

Yeah, I had the same reaction- in fact, this exact discussion, word for word, just came up on an editors’ group I’m in. The consensus was that you cannot use the word “murder” absent a conviction. I absolutely understand why someone would find that upsetting, but it’s libel, and it undermines whatever else the author…

What I found infuriating with that part is how the student editors try to play the victim card before the change would have fallen to the African-American staffer, at which point one of them sacrificed themselves in order to do the change. Like, the reason it was getting to that because the editors were refusing to do…

i was with the students til this, “The staff was told that word had to be removed and instead replaced with “killing.” Journalists are required to use the word “killing” before a death is classified as murder by a court conviction, or the publication could be sued for libel.”

Let’s be clear here who this is, though. Trump is a fucking moron and wouldn’t understand how to dismantle the USPS if he spent ten years working there.

The issue here is Trump is doing everything he possibly can to prevent people from voting.  

Well just remember, no matter how much you disliked it, the author of the book hated it MORE. Like, so much more 😂 

And another May tweet from Adams read: “Don’t shut down the universities. Shut down the non essential majors. Like Women’s Studies.”

The bigger mystery to me is, who watches these videos? Who follows these people and wants to listen to basic people spewing basic shit for 45 minutes, which could be condensed into 2 minutes but they stretch it out foreeeeever to get more $$$$?

This ‘family as performance’ shit is angering in ways I cannot reasonably put into words using my mushy quarantine brain.

Without the lens of race? She called the cops and said a black man was threatening her. She inserted the lens of race and she was in the wrong to begin with.

Did you even read the article?

Cosplay is something that now seems to belong to those folks with an ample amount of free time and disposable income anyway. It belongs to the pros, and not the rest of us.

Eh, maybe I’m just old and cynical.

I dunno, the store I buy all my Pathfinder and Magic stuff is the same place I go every week to play them, so a Gamestop that’s also a perpetual LAN party might work.

thing is, i was at a gamestop over the weekend and i thought this sort of store was what they should be trying. i’ve never had bad experiences at gamestop, which i guess makes me some kind of freakish outlier, but i thought building a more open marketplace for people to actively recommend and try games together would…

The team that cut Kaepernick for his protests even though they didn't have anyone better to replace him with? There is no moral high ground to be found in any NFL team.

You already know what to do. You've already done it.

It’s just something to toss out there while they still hope for things to blow over, they are stuck between a rock and a rock of their own doing. I hope Blizzcon is still a beautiful disaster. It’s odd most of the gaming press takes exactly one year ago were how bad all gamers suck and Blizzard was the victim because…

You are free to use it, as I stole it from Malcolm X and think it really drives home its point.

It’s hard to believe that this compromise attempt (literally just cut their actions in half) is something that took a full week to cook up. If it was really “Oh this is just the rules in all situations” you would think it would be quickly adjusted. Feels more like an offering in the hopes of getting the chatter to die…
