Welp the Gawker change is complete, conservatives are flying out of the woodwork to post their ignorance and stupidity everywhere.
I can't wait for the future when conservatism is rightly viewed and mocked as so ridiculous that it occupies the same places in the dustbin as Nazism, Young Earth Creationism and Phrenology. #crosstalk
Someone is always going to be to the left of those in power, and someone is always going to be the right. It is the blessing and the curse of representative government.
You might want to say this current form of populist neo-conservatism is particularly abhorrent, but it is just the standard part of the political cycle where because there is no leadership in the Republican Party, the loudest nutjobs try to take the reins.
On top of that, there will be people posting stupid, reactionary things on the Internet until the end of days. I would rather have it that way, then what we see in China.
There have been conservatives in the pinks in Gawker for as long as I have been posting here. The only difference is the approved conservative commenters have gone down in quality. There used to be a few here that would take time out to type of a reasoned argument to the other side of a debate. #crosstalk
The Randians do seem to be coming in greater numbers. I almost wish they were LaRouchers instead, at least they would be mildly more entertaining. #crosstalk(Edit comment)
So Kirk Cameron has a new piece of performance art coming out where he interviews right-wing doomsayers while trying to pass a series of ever-larger kidney stones. Could nab a few Independent Spirits, if you ask me. #crosstalk(Edit comment)
Also, and he can't really say it, but by extension, the enslavement of blacks, no vote for the girlies, you know, all that good stuff.
It's really just codified "take our country back" tea bagger BS presented as "Let's meet one segment of our ancestors: The white Christian ones from Europe."
Those who buy this shit will put it in a place of reverence, next to their "Left Behind" DVD collection. I need say no more. #crosstalk
Anyone planning on going to Bonnaroo? Yes, I realize its "too commericial/big/mainstream" for die hard music festival goers, but its a great time. I went in '08. I think the line-up should be released this week. We could even have a Gawker meet-up at a designated camp sight! #crosstalk(Edit comment)
I worked out pretty hard on Thursday and was really sore yesterday. Thought I'd be good for beach boot camp today but I can hardly walk. I'm feeling guilty for missing it but holy god, my legs hurt. How long do I need for my muscles to recover? #crosstalk
I'm not a trainer, but I work out a lot. If you're just starting or doing something different, the hurt will come 2 days after the workout, not the day after. If you can, do light exercise through the pain. As you progress, the pain will subside (and that's when you switch it up again, more pain, and so on). #crosstalk(Edit comment)
I have to get a car and it's filling me with anxiety. I've checked out Vehix, does anyone have any feedback on if they are a good source, please? #crosstalk(Edit comment)
Edmunds has, IMHO, the best information and advise about car-buying on the internet... look through the tips, forums, etc... you should find at least a pretty good answer to almost any question you might have [www.edmunds.com]#crosstalk(Edit comment)
According to Wikipedia it is and as of 1/25/12 it was (it was referenced in the Juliette Lewis/Terry Richardson post). However, I just checked the website and its format is completely different, and it no longer has a login option. WTH. #crosstalk(Edit comment)
I think it is a good thing. Fleshbot was straight up weird. A blog about porn? I know where to find porn on the internet, and I know where to find blogs. The combination of the two always threw me off.
ETA:
This just made me think "I wonder how "HARD" it was to get a star on fleshbot."
Well don't ask how I know this, but the reason I asked is that it's powered by wordpress now and the commenting system is all changed. I don't care so much if Fleshbot is the dirty little sister of GawkerMedia, but I was a little intrigued by the new comment system there. #crosstalk(Edit comment)
The commenting system is Disqus, which would be hilarious to me if that's the much-ballyhooed new commenting system for Gawker. I'm sure it's not - I'd just laugh if there was all this buildup about the new system and then it turned out to be something off the shelf that 50% of all web sites with comments use.
The one good thing about Disqus, though, is that it's a universal comment login across all sites that use it, which I think encourages people not to be dicks. #crosstalk
Well less than twelve hours later we have some more notable pro sports racism.
If you're going to get suspended eight games for telling a black guy "I don't talk to blacks," reportedly among other things, it might be a bad idea to conspicuously not shake his hand in the pregame lineup. #crosstalk
If you felt the main problem with the original was that Jar Jar Bins was only crushing your will to live in two dimensions, then yes, absolutely! #crosstalk(Edit comment)

Going to see the matinee of "In Darkness" on the UWS today, because that works for me and also all the blue hairs. I just really hope this time they can get through a sad movie without all the, eh hem, "commentary". Dare to dream. [www.hulu.com]#crosstalk(Edit comment)
Good morning Crosstalk! What's on tap for you guys today? Today I'm in the lab all day working on the high-count polygon model for my car, which today's tasks include the front headlights and tyres. Also I'd like to have my low-count polygon model done for my treehouse.
In all odds, I'll be working for at least 12 hours. Hurray! Tommorow I'll start my high-count polygon interior for the car.
You guys have to be doing something at least twice as interesting today. Let's hear the plans!
(Pictured the treehouse concept I'm working off of, concept art not mine.) #crosstalk
It's just dawned on me (and confirmed by google) that calling someone a "cheese-rat" when referring to a person who is wearing "cheesy" clothing, and usually has a "cheesy" personality, is not commonplace. Does anyone else use "cheese-rat" this way? #crosstalk(Edit comment)
I've always found the firmly held belief that someone who risked life and limb to cross hundreds of miles of uninhabitable and unforgiving desert populated by brigands and amoral, violent drug smugglers - not to mention the world's most heavily patrolled border - all in the name of landing a $5.00/hr. job would not be able to reason their way past a simple fence. #crosstalk
Oh come on, how much thought would you bother to put into your campaign if the people most likely to vote for you believed that pairs of all the world's animals had stayed on a single ship for 40 days ? #crosstalk(Edit comment)
Firstly, don't raise your voice. This is a sacred place. Now, you may not believe that and I may not believe that, but, by God, it's a useful hypocrisy.
If only someone had gotten word to Rick Perry sooner.
Oh for Chrissakes, I couldn't fall asleep at all tonight. At this point I've just given up on sleeping, cause my roommate and I were going to go to a pilates class at 8am and I might as well just stay up. Why don't I skip the class? If I ever manage to get to sleep, I will likely sleep until like 1pm, at which point half of my day will be shot and I cannot continue putting off writing my BA thesis. Also, I've been a lazy lump the past few weeks and I need to be in reasonable shape for my performance in 2 weeks. Bleeeeeeeh :( #crosstalk(Edit comment)

Historian Kirk Cameron tells us to go back in time to make our country great again.
No thanks. I'd rather go forward.
Thanks for the warning. #crosstalk
(Edit comment)It's time to get back to what made this country great in the first place: the wholesale genocide of native Americans.
That's what he's getting at, right? #crosstalk
(Edit comment)Well, yeah.
Also, and he can't really say it, but by extension, the enslavement of blacks, no vote for the girlies, you know, all that good stuff.

Hey, guys?
So, is Fleshbot still owned by GawkerMedia or is it no longer owned by GawkerMedia? #crosstalk
(Edit comment)Whelp, so, see, that's what I'm thinking.
THAT is what I am thinking. Perhaps they went first because they have the fewest commenters. #crosstalk

(Edit comment)I love that Suarez's career in England could conceivably be over because he could not handle not being racist one-hundred percent of the time.
However, I'm sure AS Roma and their banana-throwing fans would love to have him. #crosstalk
