Can we just go ahead and fast forward to the various guilty pleas, pardons, and solemn pledges to do better and “Now we must move ahead for the good of the country” platitudes?

I’m not sure which is worse: The president being intentionally dangerous and hiding crimes on highly classified systems; or, the president being dangerously stupid, and having his people hide crimes on highly classified systems...

This is fascinating, Akinetopsia. IT is not a field that I understand, like at all, so I feel like I’m getting a sneaky look behind the curtain.

Scott, I have no clue!

So, I discussed on another comment on this thread how I got banned, and I guess I would say primarily in my case: 1. being snarky*, 2. pushing back on a narrative too directly.

Yay! Margaritaville!

I don’t think it’s banning, but who knows?

I don’t get it either. It seems like the new owners just want to come in and really just get every last short term ad dollar, before they just destroy this place.

Deadspin? Yes, they are super quick with the banhammer.

First of all, great insights here.

I’ve been grateful for that choice to unionize many times before, and I’m particularly glad for it now, when the new men running our company pose a bit of a mystery for me. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what they love.

Uber, I am banned on DS, but that conversation you and Ron are having about narcissism is aaaahhhhhhhhmaaazzzing.

Yeah, this one hit me a little too hard.

From a pure user interface standpoint, this place is frustrating right now.

Dear Anna, you were the most natural and comfortable radio guest that I have ever heard on NPR, and I listen to a lot of NPR!

I’m going to synergize the shit out of this paradigm....

I try diligently to construct my existence to avoid a “team building exercise involving a motivational speaker” type scenario.

Tremendous comments.
