Rearranging deck chairs.  Nice.

This is too small and too late.

Tho it’s good they are implementing this, it’s a bit late in the game. Almost to the point I’d ask: “Why bother?” Sure this may have had some mitigating impacts if they implemented this a decade ago, but now that they are in a water crisis it’ll have no impact whatsoever. Remember when trying to convince some people…

Which is bullshit. Someone standing in their own home with a camera can not possibly interfere with an investigation.

Yeah, it says that. I think the evidentiary standard for accusing bystanders of interfering with police activity is somewhere between “feels like it” and “meh”

And they should be held to a HIGHER standard than non-LEOs. If you’re in charge of enforcing and upholding the law, the BARE MINIMUM is that you also follow the law.

These are the same idiots in South Africa’s parks who try to take a selfie with a lion… and then are horrified when a lion acts like a lion. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

“God, people are stupid! People are really f*cking dumb!” - George Carlin

This is fucking stupid and only makes America weaker in infrastructure, yet again. This is pure political pandering and it is REALLY pissing me off how clueless Democrats are. I was at first stunned at how they allowed Trump to happen so easily with so little resistance.

“The U.S. economy is faring pretty well by just about every traditional measure”

“No surprise considering this grifter pulled the same swindle on Paramount” and Disney/Lucasfilm.

But maybe this time HBO wants him to commit to some actual answers to his bullshit mystery boxes before moving forward with a multi-season prestige television drama.

I’d rather Abrams just go away entirely. He couldn’t end a story to save his life. Good at opening, shit at the rest.

No surprise considering this grifter pulled the same swindle on Paramount. I have no sympathy for the rubes who throw money at this phoney.

Not feeling like this is some sort of big thing. Stephen King self-published The Plant back in 2000 and asked people to pay whatever they felt like for it.

Brandon Sanderson’s Record-Breaking Kickstarter Is the Exception, Not the Rule

It is valid criticism, and I think it would work better if it was coordinated with NGOs and volunteers on the ground. But most of the initial help for Ukrainian refugees was coming from volunteers, often just private persons with no experience. So yeah, I am not surprised they screwed up somewhat, lots of good…

Sadly, that’s an improvement for io9. There was a period where they just dropped in political wonk articles with no connection to science or sci-fi.

Wow, you are all over the place here.

This took a serious left turn to talk about people of color and never found its way back to make a coherent point about why this Kickstarter campaign is a problem. A baffling piece.
