I will never, ever be able to generate an explanation why people will get murderously enraged over the treatment of animals when they can barely care about similar treatment of human beings. Read more

Cool that so many people don't believe in rehabilitation at all and apparently want all violent criminals either executed or eternally imprisoned. 

tucker carlson, ladies and gentlemen.

Ask any animal lover whether they would have cared if it was Vick or Favre who did it and they’d say the same: Under the Fucking Jail. Take your race cards and fuck yourselves with them. Read more

This is the kind of insanely disproportionate reaction that I hope this documentary explores. Michael Vick tortured and killed dogs, and he served jail time. And your response to this is to advocate for racial genocide.

this only seems odd to people without any personal experience in the intel world. some secrets are so valuable that normal procedures are not followed. also, real world situations don’t always have a training manual for advice. i’m guessing they had heard him revealing some truthful things to you and grew concerned… Read more

Victoria I hope you see this. If I were you, I would file a FOIA for any and all files on your parents. Just to see what comes of the request.

Wow. Probably the most interesting article/post/story ever written on Gizmodo and/or the former Gawker family of blogs. I’m speechless (or commentless).

Piracy is more cause than effect. When something like GoT really takes off, it also gets pirated as a result of it taking off. Just look at the top piracy lists and you’ll see a bunch of big money-makers in there. That shows how irrelevant piracy really is; it’s froth on the surface of the streaming industry, but the… Read more

And here’s the additional deal with that (at least concerning music): how often did a pirated song or album from an artist eventually lead to a fan who WAS willing to pay for content from that artist? Whether that’s in the form of buying future albums that came out or paying to attend concerts? I know I can say there… Read more

Strange philosophy. Someone else worked on a product and built it yet some else wants to give that person’s product away for free or sell it themselves. I’d say that’s not their choice to make.

This. To paraphrase Ron Swanson: Being workplace proximity associates does not make us friends. I once had a horrible boss who said “We’re all friends here” in the middle of us arguing about a project. “We’re not friends” was all I could think. But I think he really thought we were and that all of us who worked there… Read more

1) I have a name. 2) It’s your colleague & friend....whose known you for YEARS! 3) What I’ve said on many occasions on @FirstTake & ESPN Radio: that I was behind the scenes speaking to ppl in support of getting Kaepernick back into NFL. So what’s the problem now? Happy Holidays! https://t.co/rvLHQpSvJ6 Read more

Geez... there go my plans for the afternoon...

Hey folks! Please use the comments to talk about the games you like and the ones you wish got more attention this decade!

Please do not use them to shit on other people’s suggestions or to bitch about the list. Kay, thanks!

Lettuce is gross and pointless anyway. I will not be taking further questions.

I like to think that one of the cool things about Kotaku is that you can come here for more information than you’ll get from a publisher’s press release. This is a good example of that. It’s not necessarily controversial or explosive info — it’s just context that you won’t find anywhere else.

You’re getting on the internet to brag that you’re a shitty parent who doesn’t know how to use condoms? Odd.

The library is an excellent resource for toddlers - especially given how quickly they develop and change their interests. At any given time our 18 month old has a good 20 library books in the house...it’s a great way to give them the variety in all the things they find interesting at any given point in time without… Read more

My recommendation for Holiday gift giving is World Peace and Unbridled Joy and they can be had for the sale price of $25.* Read more
