The organisation New Knowledge was formed, in part, as a response to GamerGate.

At this point, what wasn't caused by GamerGate?

I decided to check out Tovo Labs and Dialectica and I had varied and confusing results.
This is Dialectica. I searched for the word "the".

I think it's a Facebook meme creator?

Of course there was. Let's have a read.
Dry Alabama was worked on by Matt Osborne. It was a progressive-run page dedicated to trying to bring back the Prohibition Era to Alabama while simultaneously pretending to support Roy Moore.

nytimes.com/2019/01/07/us/…
The project, similar to Project Birmingham, was given $100,000.00 by Investing In US, ran by Dmitri Mehlhorn.

Democrats and the media now justifying calling the President a motherfucker when you're a Congressperson.

So why are we still getting people fired for old tweets again?
"What Trump said was bad!!!"

"Calling Trump a motherfucker as an elected representative is perfectly okay because they didn't stoop to Trump's level!!!"

Holy fuck, what level of insane delusion do you have to be on for that logic?
"YOU CAN'T CRITICISE GEORGE SOROS!! REEEE!!!"

"Fuck you, Trump, and we're impeaching you! Fuck the electoral college!"

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#GameJournosAreBad

" the SPJ created these awards because Gamergate demanded it?"

Citation needed.
So, Schreier (Winner of the Prestigious Kunkel Award) is lying. Of course he is. He's a GameJourno,

Let's talk about the history of the Society of Professional Journalists involvement in the movement for Ethical Game Journalism that was part of what is called "#GamerGate"
Back in the days of Operation Disrespectful Nod, some softhearted people thought that getting the Society for Professional Journalism involved with their quest for ethical game journalism would have some kind of positive effect.

1) @mombot @stillgray @GamingAndPandas @LunarArchivist @kukuruyo @Grummz @guscraw I have this pet theory that Zoe Quinn is ultimately responsible for Trump winning the presidency. Not singlehandedly, but she was the lynchpin. And this may also have led to Brexit as well.
2) So let's start with the basics. Zoe makes a twine thingy, 'Depression Quest'. Not much of a game, but it isn't absolute garbage either - just a forgettable VN. She releases it, and predictably, nothing happens. Until suddenly, it receives rave reviews.
3) Gamers are intrigued. The indie scene was really coming into its own around this time period, so they assumed this was another gem by a creative developer. And thus, sales of the game got boosted, by people wanting to see what all the fuss was about.

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
