suggestion: "newsroom-commentary" as a room

2018-05-18 15:17:38 UTC  

i'd just say a general off-topic channel

Cuz half of these things aren't really news nor shitposting

2018-05-18 15:17:48 UTC  

nor fake 😉

ANOTHA ONE

2018-05-18 15:19:47 UTC  

another day, another shooting

2018-05-18 15:20:17 UTC  

that statement has been true since the 20's, maybe even before

2018-05-18 15:21:08 UTC  

since the first succesful gun prototype i'd say

2018-05-18 15:21:26 UTC

2018-05-18 15:21:34 UTC  

at least

"An armed person walked into an art class at the school and began firing what looked like a shotgun, a witness told CNN affiliate KTRK."

CNN later today: Ban assault weapons

Is done the aisle the the right

2018-05-18 15:27:04 UTC  

the left: "Ban high cap mags, AR-15s, and semi autos to prevent another tragedy like this!"
observant people: "But.... that wouldn't have banned a pump action shotgun."

2018-05-18 15:27:59 UTC  

i'm sure most of those people see "assault weapon" as any weapon you can attack (assault) with

#EndageredSpeciesDay is trending on twitter. US students aren't on the list. No need to worry yet.

2018-05-18 15:45:54 UTC  

what about black liberals?

2018-05-18 15:46:20 UTC  

those are extinct already

2018-05-18 15:46:22 UTC  

non on the wild.

anyone here read Utopia?

2018-05-18 16:12:33 UTC  

its interesting the similarities with 1984, except with the opposite viewpoint... like obrien says I dont want to force you to do this, I want you to want to "be a good citizen" kinda thing... but in Utopia its more about all the Utopians rather than a specific character... but the way it describes things... like "everyone can go to bed whenever they want, but they all want to go to bed at a reasonable time".. the idea of Utopia seems to be a place where everyone just thinks the same

2018-05-18 16:12:54 UTC  

also utopia seems to have slavery 😛 .. but I guess it was written in the 1500's so...

2018-05-18 16:14:10 UTC  

but on the 1984 thing... its like with 1984, its written with the idea of "this is a bad thing".. and with Utopia its written with the idea of "this is a good thing"

2018-05-18 16:18:42 UTC  

wasn't the opposite of 1984, Brave New World?

2018-05-18 16:21:08 UTC  

I mean its the opposite in the way of basically writting the same story

2018-05-18 16:21:49 UTC  

like, the same story, but with the opposite view on whether its good or bad

2018-05-18 16:25:34 UTC  

That seems to be how people these days view communist.

2018-05-18 16:25:43 UTC  

"it's a good thing if we all do this"

2018-05-18 16:26:10 UTC  

Yet don't realize how much bad you need to do.in order to even try and get there

2018-05-18 16:28:20 UTC  

Checking in from Texas. Equipped with a GoPro, a drone, and license to fly commercial footage. If any video is needed for coverage, ask.

2018-05-18 16:29:29 UTC  

Santa Fe is a short drive away, and I'm off tomorrow.

2018-05-18 16:31:26 UTC  

Hell, I'm off today at 5pm.

2018-05-18 16:37:05 UTC  

I've spoken before about what I think sub verse could be. I'd be all talk if I didn't offer.

https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/997465862243315713 'Most people if they were actually being taken out of context would find a different way of saying things after the first 100 times, particularly when they are president. So it’s a bit clever to do “boy the media botched this again!”

2018-05-18 16:39:59 UTC  

fucking wow! Hope @Timcast sees this.

2018-05-18 16:44:31 UTC  

I thought Subverse would be a place where local journalists would be able to share their coverage. For me as a local in Sweden, it´s hard to get a following, so I quit. Maybe I´ll start again once we get closer to the elecition but I don´t find it interessting when noone cares about my coverage anyway 😦

2018-05-18 16:53:37 UTC  

"Googles leaked video on mass behaviour modification"

2018-05-18 17:04:40 UTC  

I see local coverage and cooperation. Travel and footage are major competing expenses for a news organization. An alliance of independent journalists activated as needed could make a difference for independent journalism.

2018-05-18 17:28:21 UTC  

It would. Masses of sleeper cells. Only thing is I live at the arse end of the middle of nowhere, the only thing interesting thing thats happened here in the last year is a combine getting wrapped up power cables, knocking the power out for a day. Poor bastard was stuck in the cab hours. 😉

2018-05-18 17:34:25 UTC  

servers his dumbass right for knocking out everyones power
