If you’re still using Facebook

Most of the aggregators are going to die, since sticking a bunch of 22 year olds in a room and telling them to hit a blog post quota made up of other people’s content won’t work any more.

Some of those readers are going to shuffle back to the original sources.

But you’re right, many won’t. But given that Facebook and…

If they filmed in San Bernardino, Riverside or Ventura Counties, they’d be mostly fine. It’s just LA and Orange Counties that have that level of noise.

It’s going to be hard to screw up a Natalie Morales/Mike Schur combo.

And Californication.

Sorry, but for decades, it’s been more profitable (and far cheaper) to aggregate news created, at great expense, and then advertise on top of that. If this pushes aggregators to instead create news on their own and encourages consumers to actually take their eyeballs over to the places where actual journalism is…

Is there a full list of offered newspapers? I’ve only seen the LA Times, Wall Street Journal and Toronto Star mentioned so far.

Given how fast news outlets are going out of business, smug “have you heard of this thing called the ‘internet’” bits are going to be pretty irrelevant soon. But I’m sure your conspiracy theorist uncle, who gets all of his news via memes, will keep you informed.

Print media is going out of business for two reasons:

1)…

Don’t read anything that comes out weekly, monthly or quarterly for “news.” Read it for context or for deeply reported features that don’t have a timeliness element.

There’s tons of great magazines out there, even today, as the print advertising apocalypse rolls on.

A stealth game set in Middle Earth, with an unreliable narrator continually whispering info to the player character.

I dunno, man, I’d green-light that shit.

I kind of wish those little girls had a cool older sister or aunt who would have hooked them up with Liz Phair instead, but Alanis is definitely better than the mediocre, “be quiet and smile more” conformist nonsense that’s otherwise pushed on women.

The title track on Extraordinary Machine is amazing. There’s a super-cool alternate timeline where that’s the theme song for a Disney movie about a clockwork girl.

Think about the term “guilty pleasure” and what’s often cited: things women are “supposed” to like such as romantic comedies, pop music, chick lit. Have you ever heard of anything masculine-coded as someone’s guilty pleasure?

She gave him fair warning.

It’d be really nice if one or more nations or bodies developed the capability of spotting these earlier and, ideally, get at least an unmanned probe to it.

It wouldn’t have to be as elaborate as mission-specific ones that have rendezvoused with small objects in our Solar System recently. Even the equivalent of a…

The appearance of moralizing gods in religion occurred after—and not before—the emergence of large, complex societies, according to new research. This finding upturns conventional thinking on the matter, in which moralizing gods are typically cited as a prerequisite for social complexity.

“That’s what I do: I drink and I know things.”

I’ve heard that quoted by people who don’t even watch the show.

Season six.

I have to imagine that ironing all that out is why Feige has been so cagey about what comes after Endgame.

Havok wrote a great Fantastic Four.

Xavier has three states in X-books:

1) Wheelchair
2) Out of a wheelchair
3) Dead

So, we’re back to this one again.
