Gawker did not get hit with a SLAPP suit. They lost. They *should have lost*. This is not the end of the republic.

I don't get it. Which is she, a murderer or a rapist?

Apparently it only ran from 2011-2012, so yeah, blow ten bucks and get Netflix for that one show. It's worth it. All the rest is icing.

Remember, I've never led you astray when it comes to purchases probably.

Netflix pisses me off because they didn't hire me, even though I was glad they didn't hire me.

Well, I'm back from Europe. I guess we need to have a reckoning day, and like everyone posting in the Stanford thread needs a ban or something. Probably tomorrow, though. I've been up for 24 hrs.

All the better. You'll get to see all the stupid engineering decisions they've made, compare it to literally every other company that've figured out such basic things, and laugh at them. Laugh at them for being worth so much money and not being able to goddamn figure out how to keep a video running on a tablet while you adjust the brightness.

****TY PORN SITES HAVE THIS FIGURED OUT, NETFLIX, HOW COME YOU DON'T?!

Additional Netflix recommendation - The Best of Enemies. Documentary on William F. Buckley, Jr. and Gore Vidal. Pretty entertaing, good insights on the development of modern media culture, and you get to see Buckley get so irritated that he calls Vidal queer and threatens to punch him on live national television.

(So, basically, a good reminder that this election cycle does not have a monopoly on the crazy).

Another mass shooting

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/36510272

Quote:

A shooting inside a gay nightclub in the Florida city of Orlando has caused mass casualties, police say.
Orlando Police also said in a tweet that the shooter inside the Pulse Club, located in the heart of the city, is now dead.
A bomb squad and hazardous material team are at the scene, and a controlled explosion was earlier carried out.

Uh not likely given it is a POTUS campaign if:

1. Shooter has motivation similar to shooters in San Bernadino

And

2. Shooter's target was chosen because it was a gay nightclub.

And

3. Prompt action by armed off duty policeman saved lives.

FBI statements seem to indicate that 1 is > 50% chance of being true. If 1 is true, 2 and 3 are almost certainly true.
