Just being born in some geographical location doesn’t make you a decendant of their people. You are a decendant of where your ancestors are from. If your family doesn’t celebrate their heritage then pick the one that best describes where they come from. Maybe sit down and ask your parents or grand parents some questions about your ancestry so you can come to an identity based on facts.

Fuck Kotaku, and fuck Alyssa Mercante. It was not nice knowing you. Thank you for the good news.

Shit on men. Call the conservatives nazis when it’s the Black, Asian, and Latino voters who carried this election. Repeat quotes out of context. Spread lies. That’s how we get more people on our side, right??

Should we report them for attempting commit fraud for posing as an official complaint office?

I agree with you 100%. It was hyped up by online buzz and it was a big disappointment to me.

How considerate of them. I don’t expect the whiney asses who’ve been bitching and lying for the last eight years to stop regardless of who wins. What will they do without their core personality trait?

“Everyone but me is a moron” is the mark of the moron.

I’ve heard it phrased: “If you’re surrounded by assholes. Maybe you’re the asshole.”

What? Isn’t that the thing they said that they weren’t trying to do and half the flipping world was trying to prevent? Yeah. Color me surprised.

The Free Press. (They are a monthly subscription) Journalists who left the New York Times. I find most of their articles to be refreshing and insightful. They seem to be truly middle-left for American politics. They don’t try and feed on outrage to gain clicks. You’ll find less low hanging fruit like Trump rage-bait, and provide more thoughtful, unbiased reporting like NPR used to back in the day. I learned about them from an article where a right-leaning NPR editor did an interview with them about lack of balance at NPR and was subsequently fired for his views. As someone who’s listened to NPR for decades It really hit home as I listened to it happen over the years in real time. I value balance over the unchecked shift to one side or the other. I really enjoy the Friday editorial newsletter, TGIF. The humor is a good way to wrap up the week.

If I have one complaint it’s that the stories skew Israel/Jewish heavy, but given that the founder is Jewish. I understand why and can forgive it. They have plenty of good talent working other stories so there is always a good read.

I was headed back home 1200 miles when at the first gas stop I let my bike fall over. I tried to park it away from the gas pumps to get off and stretch my legs. The spot I chose (poorly) was unleveled and the wind caught it and pushed it over. The tip over scratched the saddle bag and broke my brake lever. At my next stop I found an auto parts store for some steel stick epoxy to temporarily ‘weld’ the lever back together. I let it cure for a few 30 minutes before setting off angain, and then a few hours before using it properly, but that only lasted a few hundred miles. Everything is an easy fix, but damn I was utterly deflated the rest of the trip with my scratches of shame.
