Interesting.

Milo Yiannopoulos, the provocative conservative journalist who is often portrayed as a champion of the far right, is facing possible dismissal from his employer, Breitbart News, over comments he once made about underage sex, FOX Business has learned.

His possible dismissal could could come by the end of the day, sources from the conservative website told FOX Business. Earlier Monday, Yiannopoulos was disinvited to speak at a gathering of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) scheduled for this weekend.

Milo says the video is edited and out of context. I have not had a chance to watch it yet.

...and liberals, what is your most conservative position?

Got this idea from Reddit. Feel free to post one or a few. I'll post mine under separate cover.

I am hearing reports of extremely high Latino turnout in FL. More Latinos have early voted than voted in the entire 2012 election.

The massive human wall was conceived as a pro-safe space demonstration. Activists wanted the university administration to designate additional safe spaces for trans students, gay students, and students of color. They were apparently incensed that one of their official safe spaces had been moved from the fifth floor of a building to the basement.

Ahhh, yes, let us re-segregate.  ::).

Spin Zone / Stupid
« on: September 30, 2016, 08:45:05 PM »

Donald goes on a late night Twitter jaunt about a fat former Miss America. Johnson can't name a single foreign leader. What the hell, guys. Can the election get any more stupid.

Spin Zone / 3D Printing
« on: September 06, 2016, 01:50:19 PM »
Any of you dabble in 3D printing at home? I bought the Monprice MP Select Mini when it went on sale at Jet.com for $170. It gets great reviews, especially for its price point. I have never done any 3D printing but so far it's pretty neat to tinker with.

I started by 3D printing upgrades for the printer: an adapter for the future in case the "heater" part breaks and I need to replace it with a commonly available generic version; an extension piece for the printer's control knob to have better tactile feel; etc. It's pretty cool to have a printer printing itself!

I haven't quite figured out whether this'll become "useful" for something other than messing around with. I've been working on my 3D modeling skills using TinkerCad, and have so far modeled a ring and a basketball card display holder. Pretty rudimentary stuff!

Anyway this is a pointless thread, just wondering if anyone else has done this.

Spin Zone / Win for net neutrality

Big win for net neutrality. Trump, speaking in opposition to the decision, said if he becomes president he'll build a huge firewall and make hackers pay for it.
