The vitriol towards them is strange.

I adored the wolf among us and have suggested it to a number of friends.

The nature of the management, as asserted by an article from a few months ago that i don't have at my fingertips, removed a decent chunk of my goodwill towards the management of the company.

In particular, I recall reading that new ideas were often shot down, and a formulaic approach to game creation often won out. With that in mind, it's no wonder that their games became repetitive and sales subsequently dropped.

One side of the aisle sure has been responding differently to accusations of rape than the other, on multiple different occasions, from a multitude of victims.

Without having read more than a few words of last night's dumpster fire, presumption of innocence is irrelevant here. This isn't a criminal case where the defendant may go to jail. Oh no, a guy might not get a job that he would get to keep for life. That's not comparable to prison at all.

Latest R play appears to be to schedule the hearing without input from Ford and... hope she doesn't show? Her lawyer stated she was willing to testify before the Senate, but the Senate Republicans scheduled a hearing for Monday without consulting her and already are saying things like, "She hasn't responded to our E-Mails, I don't know if she wants to come." Flake in particular has said if she doesn't appear for the hearing he thinks they should press on and confirm. Also sounds like they might just cancel the hearings entirely if she doesn't appear.

Also, she's moved out of her house after being flooded with threats.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/18/us/politics/christine-blasey-ford-kavanaugh-senate-hearing.html

The alleged witness also released a statement that, paraphrased, is "I don't recall and I don't want to speak publicly." (Originally he said it didn't happen, the shift to "I don't recall" came after the possibility of him testifying was raised.)

Why are there so many elected officials who are complete cowards

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/14/trump-legal-team-takes-back-paul-manafort-will-tell-the-truth.html

After Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, agreed to cooperate with prosecutors working for the special counsel on Friday, President Donald Trump's legal team released the following statement attributed to Rudy Giuliani, Trump's outside counsel in charge of the Russia probe:

"Once again an investigation has concluded with a plea having nothing to do with President Trump or the Trump campaign. The reason: the President did nothing wrong and Paul Manafort will tell the truth."

Minutes later, they seemed to reconsider. A "corrected" statement removed the bit about Manafort telling the truth. That statement said, in full:

Once again an investigation has concluded with a plea having nothing to do with President Trump or the Trump campaign. The reason: the President did nothing wrong.

I can't speak to the accuracy of this, but I read --

Reasons why this is pardon proof:

1) Mueller already got the key pieces of testimony a pardon would thwart.
2) Manafort is subject to civil forfeiture; he loses $46M even w/pardon.
3) The dropped charges can be filed in states.

A pardon, at this point, does nothing. Nothing.

Mueller definitely knows what he's doing here.

Manafort's plead to conspiracy charges?

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yeah this is a much bigger deal than doorik's feelings.

The special counsel says he's cooperating. Trump previously railed against the investigation because it costs $10m to taxpayers - but Manafort is surrendering over $46m. So this "witch hunt" is making the country money, and has had a pretty large number of guilty verdicts. I suspect trump is freaking out because he knows he owes the country similar millions of dollars.

Between this and diverting $10m from FEMA to ICE... any and all after effects of hurricanes this season can be placed squarely at the feet of this administration. Forget "Trump's Katrina", it's worse than that.

First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

And now for more recent news...net neutrality stuff!

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-09-04/youtube-and-netflix-throttled-by-carriers-research-finds

Obviously we heard about them throttling the data access of California firefighters a while back (trying to get them to pay more) which is a big part of why California all the sudden turned around and passed net neutrality all of the sudden when it couldn't get out of committee before. But this is the first I've heard of general throttling for everyday consumers. I'm not surprised by Netflix, ISPs already tried to throttle netflix back when net neutrality was law (and got sued). I did not expect Youtube as well though.

Interesting. Think I'll download this app and run it a few times a day, I've been having some suspicions about sprint.

And even if that happens, it's not like we'd be able to undo their decisions - best case, there'd be an asterisk next to them in the case law that lower courts would consider.

These are (probably just) the tip of the iceberg for what scumbag Grassley and co are hiding from the public.
