No, they seem to be very clear that that’s not something you’ll be doing with their machine; in fact you’ll not even be talking about it to their machine.
In case you missed it: What happened here is that two right wing organizations gamed the system to ensure that only works they considered ideologically sound were allowed to be voted upon. Not progressives. Right wingers. One hard right (Vox Day) and one group that just felt that too many Hugos had gone to stories with progressive themes recently.
Y'know, this would be a lot more believable if the Sad Puppies list (and Vox Day's Rabid Puppies list, which largely copies SP) weren't easily available, and if the authors on it weren't an ideologically-diverse bunch. But you report as malware sites all the SP-related blogs, maybe then people won't be able to check the truth of your claim.
I'm rather sorry for Toni, who I rather like, and who might well have won in the absence of the puppy-only ballot. If she had won, I would have said "well deserved."
Of course, before Sad Puppies she’d never gotten a nomination...
The last I heard, weapons that blind are banned by the current "laws of war" as recognized by the western powers - and that's been the major impeidment so far to deploying laser (and other directed energy) weapons.
A laser that makes someone permanently blind is forbidden. A laser that makes a pilot temporarily blind, so that he crashes and becomes permanently dead, is OK.
If you’re going to resort to etymology to define homophobe as “someone irrationally afraid of gay people” rather than the more common “someone who dislikes gay people”, you might as well go all the way and use the word correctly: “someone irrationally afraid of being alone”.
I knew a lot of Communists (big "C") and communists (little "c") in the late '50s and early '60s. Some of them followed the party line, and some of them didn't. Obviously the Trotskyites didn't.
For most of the Communists I knew, the question was, "When did you leave the Party?" Some of them left the Party after the Hungarian revolution, some of them left after the Czechoslovokian revolution.
I’d have thought the invasion of Poland would have been enough, or even the deliberately-created famines (look up Holdomor) or the gulags or religious persecution or....
In other words, most of the Communists I knew had more integrity and commitment to democracy than the right-wing corporate suckups in this country.

We're talking to a fucking machine.

That's easy. A blog is speech. Money isn't.
So... a law that says Lessig can’t raise money to run ads for his campaign—that would be constitutional, right?

Uh huh.
“We are Onymous.
“Oops.”
Although this is not politically correct to say, the fewer humans there are the better off the rest of the biosphere will be.
And the fewer self-hating humans there are, the better off the rest of the species will be.
That was the second-funniest comment on this page.
