I have absolutely no way of verifying or disproving this idea, but it seems pretty obvious to me that Facebook has a grief metric that they plugged into whether or not to assume someone is dead.

Something like “if more than X% of your friends are saying things that evaluate as intensely grieving, we can assume you’re dead.”

So it’s unsurprising that a lot of progressive people’s loved ones suddenly seemed, from that perspective, dead after Trump started announcing cabinet appointments.

There’s a presidential transition website that exists now, and it’s www.greatagain.gov. The fact that there’s staff in place that know about DNS and can put together a classic-looking logo only reinforces my suspicion of people’s optimism that the Trump administration won’t be able to get much done.

I have to be honest, the biggest bombshell in the new trump tape is the “artifact” that hides the face of the person who gets off the bus right before him.

I feel like a lot of people already knew this, or strongly insinuated it, but for the directors of intelligence and homeland security to say so directly is a big story.

I guess I thought everyone in NYC would know this…yes?

“Indeed, Gawker’s record for accuracy is excellent. For a site as reckless as it is purported to be, there have been no Jayson Blairs, no conflict-of-interest or plagiarism scandals, no career-ending corrections. The chief rule of establishment journalism that it violated to its detriment, it seems, is the one that recommends against pissing off billionaires.”

I am earnestly, honestly astounded at the number of people commenting on this thing that don’t get the joke.
