As to the first, without seeing their internals, they might simply not have enough ad volume from more niche advertisers to cater to such customers. Everyone loves "brand" advertising because the decision to, say, buy a Chevy is

Glaring omission of http://blog.jim.com , if you want to go down the rabbit hole of stylistically coherent & pithy, well though out, right-wing philosophizing.

"Breast cancer awareness" is a thing only because it is a form of signaling that privileges female bodies. That's why it has such tremendous buy-in despite already saturated "awareness" going back 20 years, or the f

The other fantastic & fantastically relevant contemporary show is Westworld. Setting up to be a masterpiece. Between Black Mirror, Westworld, Utopia, Mr. Robot we're really hitting a good run of SF.

Assuming it was Russia, and that they did derive it from some secret means, public announcing they discovered it but not giving the source makes that inference more likely. That's why eg in World War II, the allies only acted on Enigma

Carrying a pistol in a good holster is roughly the same physical burden as carrying the dozen or so keys I don't use on an hourly basis, or wearing a sportscoat rather than just a tshirt.

Why does the "intelligence community" refuse to give this as their source of attribution?

There is no reason for them to not source the evidence they're using to attribute it to the Russians. If it was them, they already know exactly what they left behind. It's actually not that difficult to disguise sources of attac

The use would be in the event someone breaks into your house. Practically speaking, it's easier to wear throughout the day than to be continually donning and doffing as you move about.

"Considering" someone for a position is a cost-free way to flatter them. Coincidentally, both are extremely wealthy and support Democratic candidates.

It's not. Laws are not a "logical system", nor are they designed to be. Laws are a fuzzy coordination mechanism around the exercise of power. (If you have one actor in the power structure who "goes rogue" and has a

Nope. The wonderful thing about rent-creation schemes (in the economic sense, not just "rented housing" although it's obviously a canonical example) is that they create built-in constituencies. Make the built-in constituenc

It's a shame that we had to get this deep into the thread to get you to admit your preferred policy (and Twitter's, apparently) is that straightforward ideological purges by default make the platform better (unless you can prove a

I assume this article is designed to signal that the regime finds 4chan most distasteful, and would prefer for it not to be purchased, if you want to remain on their good side. Which makes total sense, since 4chan-derived memes have appar
