Ever get the feeling you're living inside a Tom Wolfe novel
Bianca declined comment, leading some to speculate she was cooperating with the ASPCA special prosecutor
Normally I'm a big fan of Tom Wolfe, but some of these characters are so absurd it just ruins the novel's believability
I mean come on, how did any of these characters get past the manuscript editor
Chapter 37: Bianca clams up after a mysterious Doberman enters the House Crazygate Hearings room
Goddamn it Wolfe, how do you expect readers to keep up with all these story arcs

Ain't no more work down at the old Huffington Opinion mill since they done automated them goddamn Googlebots. I heared the gonna layoff the third shift over to the Buzzfeed clickbait plant, too
I was havin' beers with the fellas down at the Opinion Workers Union hall, and they're all itchin' for a strike. Let's see how long these management bastards last when the hot take warehouse goes empty
But Al the union steward said it was only "temporary" and that we shouldn't rile up nothin' less'n they start bussin' in a bunch of damn Twitter scabs. Sometimes I think that sumbitch is in management's pocket, and it's time for a wildcat vote

Bandit and I had a pact that whoever was the last survivor would take the other's remains to San Francisco and lay them to rest in McDonald's dumpster
Some of my happiest memories were spent scrounging for McNuggets in a dumpster with Bandit. Catch you at the Rainbow Bridge, my friend #RIP

Special prosecutor Robert S Mueller III and Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee have obtained records that show "RUSSIA OFFERED BUSINESS DEALS TO A MAJOR BACKER OF BRITAIN'S BREXIT CAMPAIGN."

It's well known who this is, as is his response; the question is, as with everything else, are his answers truthful? If it was up to us we'd be applying for the unexplained wealth orders now!

It's normal for the Russian Embassy to wine & dine business people involved in British politics, normal when they're attempting to recruit them....no doubt the answers are in that bastion of the truth, Isabel Oakeshott's attic.

big fan of all the people in videogame journalism who've never worked an entry level job and are just finding out now that bosses skirt labor laws to make you work OT and not pay you
"I'm hearing from a lot of people that their bosses asked for OT but it wasn't really a request"
<everyone who has worked retail, staring>
huge scoop here: if you refuse to do something that violates OSHA, your boss might fire you for "performance issues" that somehow never came up before despite your shining performance review last week

@TheLiberal_x
These are just some of the vile, abusive comments posted by Leo Sherlock - owner of TheLiberal․ie - using the same fake @facebook accounts he created to pose as "prize-winners" in phoney competitions.

TheLiberal is currently using its platform to influence #Aras18 elections.
"Paul Brennan" account changed name four times.
"Amy White" was an easy catch - Sherlock used his own email address.

Tom Wolfe has died. His work changed my life and convinced me to write nonfiction. Fare thee well, Tom.
I carried a copy of Electric Acid Kool-aid Test with me throughout high school, dazzled by the idea that you could really write like that about real things.
Oops my pre-coffee brain wrote that wrong. ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST.

1) There’s a lot of BS about @nntaleb’s Black Swan, antifragility & skin in da game. Let’s take the gloves off and get into trouble.
2) When the Swan flew out, it was immediately butchered by imbeciles not understanding that you can’t predict the unpredictable.

That is the point – and an IQ filter NNT himself proly did not expect.
3) In any complex domain – life! – the Blackest Swan is always skulking around the corner. You know it’s coming, but you don’t know what where when. You can't tame what you've never even conceived of.

Can you get it?
