Too much is going on all at once for this to be chance

  • I'm not a fan of papers doing this, but the Strib is now the Minnesota (nee Minneapolis) Star-Tribune.

  • I wanted to be an asshole, but Midwesterners opened up a tavern nearby, and the toasted ravioli is on point.

  • If you're at a real outlet, you throw a SCANDAL violator diagonally in the top left of your main art and call it a day.

  • There's an issue with the hed: If you have been murdered, well ... you're not really live.

  • I don't know where to start with why this is an infuriating post. In addition to believing that virtually all words need a pound sign appended to them, the capitalization here is a crime against humanity.

    Camel case for StatusCoup, followed by all caps for LIVE, then we can't be bothered to capitalize a city name. Then, it's just random tags. Yeah, we're a news aggregator. As such, "press," "news," "media" and the suddenly camel-cased "BreakingNews" is literally what people are expecting.

    Now, why you placed this in World News is confusing.

  • But a book for what sort of audience? Are you saying James Joyce is approachable on account of his short sentences?

    This strikes me more as a shift in reading habits; after all, you write for your audience. In academia and longform media outlets, that calls for lugubrious, wandering sentences. In other situations, you basically end up with Dick and Jane.

  • It seems as though the researchers picked their targets -- not uncommon -- but completely avoided the implications of texting and shortform like tweets, in addition to the increasing international use of English, where messages will be better understood with simple structure.

  • Granting corporations personhood worked out really well.

    It is frustrating that sometimes what feels like a solution is ... well, I have no declarative answer.

  • Oh, I'd head over to Seattle on the ferry when possible. It wasn't really a bastion of culture. I did like Central Market.

  • Glad I left Bremerton well before this. The Navy guys were bad enough.

    I cannot highly enough recommend Fackham Hall

  • I spent several years in Oregon. It was a pretty chill place. You didn't have the bullshit of a governor in a wheelchair who won a multimillion-dollar verdict ahead of making sure no one else could ever do that.

    Texas politics are fucked. And that fucking tree should have finished the job.

  • God, do I miss being in a state where shit changes because of evidence.

  • Well, at least I didn't lose family members.

  • Excellent analysis. I wish some of it were surprising.

    Oh, this is not going well.

  • Unlike my inability to spread toppings on a pizza with any efficiency. I'd sometimes end up with a side-heavy pie because all the cheese moved over there in the oven.
