That was a wild ride. I'd always sort of wondered what the hell folk dancing was doing in gym class.

Here's a summary: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/dec/28/unclear-unfunny-delete-editors-notes-on-milo-yiannopoulos-book-revealed

That was pretty hilarious Clme- I only glanced at it in twitter, but I gather that there's a lawsuit about it and a bunch of internal stuff got published due to that. The other stuff I saw was equally great

My phpbb install was getting a lot of spam registrations, but adding a "what is the name of this forum?" quiz question completely stopped them.

I find that mural obscene, specifically in that it's signed with a twitter handle.

That's not a standard I've ever seen you apply. Your position here has consistently been that if a policy is presented as being anti-immigration, you're for it, period, no matter what. I've never seen you take any interest in the specifics of what t…

There've been a lot of posts like this, I've been deleting them.

What I said. Taking "I am okay with this because it conforms with my religion and the people who suffer from it are not-me-or-anyone-I-care-about" as the default political position of the human race, the defining element isn't the nature of the s…

You're all losers for not turning me on to Flobots sooner.

Newt Gingrich is a lunatic

Religious people are usually okay with someone else being sacrificed at the altar of their beliefs, yeah.

Apparently it's where he learned business. His biographers say that, next to his father, his main business mentor was Roy Cohn.

Oops, fixed the link. But that too. I mean, mob connections aren't unusual for a real estate sleaze, but the way the press ignored it for a candidate is hella cause for comment.

WSJ killed editorial on Trump's mob ties The fact that the editorial was written clearly demonstrates liberal media bias.

Those videos don't look like they involve freestyle rap.

@Bill said: I have been able to make neither head nor tail of the issue. The baseline is pretty simple - the people who sell internet connectivity don't want it to be a commodity, much like everyone else selling anything. It almost certai…

For everything Bill says about the average intelligence of blacks, you gotta admit they stepped up and saved Alabama from electing the utter cretin that whites overwhelmingly supported.

"collusion"

Every time you put the punch line in the title, baby seal Jesus etc. etc.

@Bill said: I know what confirmation bias is. Of course you take notice if the signs go in both directions. Not what I said - you must also lower your belief in your premise when the signs point in no direction at all. If your hypothesis …

@Bill said: One, there are a lot of things that you should, as a working assumption, believe even if you only have weak evidence in favor. ... you should assume any dog you meet is vicious This is argument by wordplay. It is useful to beh…

Aside: if you're looking for stuff like bias in news articles, you really shouldn't just look for stuff like word choice, that merely includes the possibility that your premise is true, you should be looking for stuff that excludes the possibility t…

@Bill said: You say that the statement, "The mainstream media is overwhelmingly liberal biased" is a falsifiable statement. I agree. I don't see how you can believe it, though, unless you accept my assertion that it's possible to analyze a piece …

It's interesting to consider that gerrymandering can be a big part of the cause for this stuff. When a politician has more to fear from primary challenges than from the opposite party, it seems pretty inevitable that they'll slide out to the fringes…
-
Dunno what Bill's on about but I think the article raises a fair question. There's a decent chance that the Mueller investigation finds that Trump's campaign colluded (in the general meaning of the word) with Russian agents, but that it wasn't illeg…

@Bill said: There are things that are difficult to measure, but are still obviously true. If you dismiss analysis of writing as being inherently non-objective, we have nothing left to discuss. Whoa there with the turning-off of the brain.…

@Clme said: It is true liberals prefer regular music radio with news breaks, listening to NPR, and podcasts, but its still an interesting statistic. To be fair, podcasts are kind of radio, when you get down to it. Or rather there's a slid…
