But the subject was "people who voted for Trump who weren't ok with his racism." Your previous beef with another commenter isn't significant or interesting. You should make sure to mention that you're engaging in a pissfight with a previous enemy in public if you're going to do that, so normal people can get out of…

I opened that and I looked out of the corner of my eye and I kind of think that my vague image of it has to be worse than what it actually is.

You implied as much by bringing them up as part of a discussion of why Trump voters voted for Trump. Is there a reason you decided to bring up something completely unrelated?

The critical tweets included are an artist with 50 followers and… another artist with 144 followers. Also, neither of them seem to be actually outraged, just kind of raising an eyebrow.

Not only are they not nested, but the whole thread is ordered chronologically, and there's no link to the comment they're replying to. Even when Disqus stops visually nesting comments they still always appear in a nested order, and there's a link to track back a reply to the original comment.

I am so sick of these "five people on Twitter are outraged" stories. Couldn't we at least wait for some actual advocacy organization to say something before shitting out a half-digested loaf of tweets?

Then why are Hillary's hawkish FP positions relevant to the reasons people voted for Donald "bomb the shit out of 'em" Trump?

I think it's reasonable for white people to try to figure out and address what aspects of whiteness lead to the prevalence of white supremacist beliefs. A lot of what you see is pretty shallow and insincere, though, like the abuser who gets drunk and mopey about what a shitty person they are in between bouts of abuse.

I think we already pretty much got that with "on fleek", which was coined in a goofy Vine by a 16-year-old black girl, spread through Black Twitter, and within months IHOP and Taco Bell were clumsily using it to relate to the kids with their rippity-raps and backwards caps.

What's funny is that Vox also does the same thing, except they also more or less recap the video and link to their own coverage of the same stuff. See? I think Oliver's team must be pretty aggressive in promoting these to news sites.

These verbs also make a decent summary of my sex life.

I was just coming down here to say how much I liked the art. The demon designs are great.

But by that definition the pre-email world is much earlier. Corporations and schools were using email before the Internet, and home computer owners were sending each other messages on BBSes in the '80s. The Quantum Link information service for the Commodore 64 was started in 1985 and offered email to subscribers.…

My favorite cultural touchstone related to the Internet is "do you remember people on TV talking about the 'information superhighway'?"

Use plenty of lip and tongue action… and get yourself a good wire rack.

You can see the username of the replied-to commenter in replies.

Hulagu Khan destroys Baghdad and conquers Syria, setting the stage for the Mamluks, who give way to the Ottomans. The Ottomans preside over centuries of stagnation and repression of Arab autonomy. Eventually the Ottoman Empire staggers its way into World War I, England, France, and Russia divide its corpse under…

Apropos to Soviet science, the Digital Antiquarian has been writing about the Soviet computer industry recently, as part of a lead-up to discussing Tetris. At http://filfre.net/. Good shit.

I hear it the way Ferengi say it on Deep Space Nine. FEEEEE-MAAALE.

There's a fairly compelling argument for drawing a straight line between the campaigns of Genghis Khan and his successors and the instability of the modern Middle East. So indirectly Genghis Khan is responsible for ISIS.
