The point I got out of that is that she doesn’t know the first thing about guns.

“No need for a concealed carry permit.”

just a weekend in Chicago

Nearly nothing in this entire article made sense or was reported correctly. #ImWithThiel

There are 1.1 million days per year, apparently. There were about 33,000 gun-related deaths in the US in 2015, or about 9o per day. This includes suicides and accident/negligence as well as homocide.

“Gun deaths in the U.S. are occurring on average at a rate of 31 million a year, or 27 people every day. As for similar countries:”

Basically every soccer tournament I’ve ever seen. Makes no sense (I beat Haiti by 14 goals and you only beat them by 10, so I get to advance) but there’s lots of stuff about soccer that makes no sense, like there being zero consequences for getting all up in the refs’ faces when they’re trying to talk to each other.

DURRRR BUT VIDEO REVIEW OF GOALS WOULD RUIN THE FLOW OF THE BEAUTIFUL GAME DURRRRRR

In any other sport, there are consequences for shoving and berating officials *while* they are trying to talk to each other. Soccer is truly special.

Because they wanted to show all 22 players berating and pushing the refs while they tried to make a call. Soccer...still very much a joke.

Three South American governments were overthrown while waiting for that replay.

This guy killed 50 (presumably) gay people because he hated gay people, not because he thought it was entertaining.

But there’s absolutely no evidence that this guy was influenced by violent media. There is an abundance of evidence that he was tied to Islamic extremism, and had favorable views of ISIS and the Boston Marathon bombers. There may be something to be said for looking at how violent entertainment leads to violence in the…

This was a terrorist attack. It had nothing to do with entertainment.

This smacks of self-aggrandizing, pointless posturing.

So do you think the fact that Hamilton will not use prop guns stop the next mass murder/terrorist attack?

Because prop guns are the issue. Not radical Islam or the fact that a man who was being watched by the FBI was able to get guns. Moral victory I guess

I’m also not questioning the article, but yes, being from MA you are correct....she’s from Nantucket/Martha’s Vineyard and the accent on the island is close but not quite Boston. It’s more of a Rhode Island...I guess you could call it a “lesser” Boston accent. Which is kind of what she has.

“Wallace notices the Nantucket-born and bred singer dropping her g’s and utilizing what is understood to be African American Vernacular English.”

Ziff-Davis looks like it wants Jezebel and Gizmodo (and why not LifeHacker, Deadspin, etc.) but has no real interest in keeping Gawker itself. I think that would be a smart move. (Also, giving IO9 its independence from Gizmodo again would be great.)
