Headlines sometimes get a little screwy when the writer cares more about blaming Muslims for violence against Muslims than what actually just happened.

guys who do the moderating either sympathize with that stuff, like far-right libertarians, or simply don’t understand what they’re supposed to be policing.

I’ll say that Twitter is better than Facebook when it comes to booting people, but that isn’t saying much and God yes the Nazi shit is out of control. They started targeting ISIS accounts (legit ones and fanboys) a year or two ago, and they really need to do the same with all these “alt-right” shitlords.

And the raw stupidity is as about as bad as the raw hate. I mean, I just had this exchange:

I try to remember that most people are good.

Yes, I know that anti muslim thought isn’t unique to white people

That’s pretty boilerplate language for an investigation that just started. It doesn’t mean they won’t look for indications of bias, just that they haven’t seen any yet. It’s not meant as a dismissal of the idea, in other words, just a simple fact about what’s been discovered so far. It’s common for crimes that…

They don’t currently have any indication that it’s a hate crime. That can change at any time. If it turns out that, e.g., the killer knew his victim, the motive might have been personal rather than racial/religious. (Of course, even if they knew each other, that alone wouldn’t rule out bias on his part.) But most…

Because there simply might not be one. I saw one account of this that said three men with bats pulled up in a car and grabbed attacked this girl. That account wasn’t true—they might also have ruled out the idea of a second suspect.

I honest to God had an exchange on Twitter with a guy who went straight from calling this “Muslim terrorism” to, upon learning it was the other way around, saying it was a false flag staged by George Soros.

history, not the present

And check out this atrocious headline:

Growing one’s own greens and the like is strangely satisfying. I have containers of various kinds growing all kinds of stuff. Like this mix of lettuces with some kick-ass bull’s blood beets:

peeling big layers of skin off my feet

the rhetoric of the Tea Party opposition to Obama partakes of an intellectual tradition

Perhaps so.

when these guys hear the phrase ‘duck hunting’ do they think the ducks are coming after them?

It would be really cool if you guys ran this article twice back to back for no reason.

That’s a real waste of food. Share next time.

And what are the chances Trump thinks they used Clorox on the phones?
