In ten years, when the NSA is monitoring your insulin pump and IUD, maybe Sir Tim Berners-Lee can come out with another think piece about he's shocked, shocked, I tell you that the "Internet of Things" has become the biggest surveillance network in history.
And we can all go, "If we'd only had some inkling that this could happen".
Now go shopping with your digital wallet because all you have to do is wave your magic smartphone and everybody behind you in line will think you're just the coolest.
Nostrodumbass would be a lot more credible if he had provided that level of detail, in reality (spooky voice) in the future some shit's going to happen
Yes, and it's going to be bad, and it will involve a guy with the letter "L" in his name. Or "M".
You're right, Osgeld. Nostrodamus was basically doing a cold read on the future.
Because I'm pretty sure that once you've posed for a "men's magazine" handcuffed to a bedpost in nothing but heels and jewelry, you're way past the point of having someone else "sexually objectify" you. Yeah, showing off your pootenanny in a stroke book is pretty much the ne plus ultra of being a sexual object. And that's one of the least NSFW photos from that "spread".
an international team of scientists has now read about 3,500 characters of explanatory text
The fragment says, "...in 2100 years, an Oompa Loompa with strangely tiny fingers will attempt to rise to power. Beware, since he has the mark of the Beast on his forehead, which you can't see because he's got this weird thing going on with his hair. His wife will be a nice piece of Slovenian ass though, so big ups for that."
Everybody in this case got what they deserved. Thiel got outed as a hypocrite, Hogan got outed as a desperate has-been, and Gawker got outed as a rag.
Fortunately, everybody already knew Gawker was a rag, Hogan was a pitiful has-been and Thiel was a self-hating gay man. The only thing that will change is that someone new will own Gawker and make money as they continue to ply their (very popular) trash.
Gawker's entire defense, as I understand it, was that posting the sex tape was in the public interest
I don't know about public interest, but it was pretty funny seeing poor pitiful Hulk Hogan boning the wife of a friend who gave him permission to do so. With a rag on his head. Many of you may be too young to know this, but Hulk Hogan was at one time a pretty big celebrity. Now he's gotta get permission from Bubba the Love Sponge to bang some bony old skank.
And the engine of America's success runs on building up celebrities and then tearing them down.
I don't care one bit about some paparazzi revenge porn site going out of business.
Nobody's going out of business. They're declaring bankruptcy so they can sell the company and get out of paying Hulk Hogan/Peter Thiel. They've already got a buyer and they've announced that exactly none of their flagship brands will cease publishing.
This was all just a big dick-wagging contest. As long as Deadspin is still going, I don't care about the rest.
Oh look, Ratzo's doing some clever "false flag" trolling!
Just a heads up: From now until the election, every time someone posts a really ugly racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted comment, I'm going to post "Trump 2016" after it. It's sort of my thing, and will be for the next 4 1/2 months. It's based upon the premise that anyone who would post something like this:
"Yeah. I find that [... racist comment ...]"
is almost certainly a Trump supporter. Not that every Trump supporter is a racist or sexist. Certainly there are some who are simply uninformed, unaware or have had some psychosexual trauma about wearing roadkill on top of your head or being made sweet sweet love to by an Oompa-Loompa with strangely small fingers. But all bigots are supporting Trump this time around. There simply is no other choice. He's #1 with bigots. The Alpha Bigot. So, every bigoted comment I see gets followed by, "Trump 2016". It is me responding to ugly speech with more speech. Because the only way to fight a bad guy with a stupid comment is a good guy with a stupid comment. If you don't like it, the kiss-my-ass line forms right behind me.
Inventor of the World Wide Web Sir Tim Berners-Lee said in an interview with The New York Times that the internet has become the "world's largest surveillance network.
No shit, Sir Tim? Have you been vacationing in Antarctica for at least the past decade?
Dude invents the Web and turns into Captain Fucking Obvious.
Next, he's going to tell us that Monty Python was a really funny show and crystal meth is bad for you, m'kay?
The police aren't going to be seizing much in the way of assets.
It's Oklahoma. The only people with money in Oklahoma are half a dozen meth dealers, three elderly oil men and players for the OKC Thunder. And I guarantee that all the Thunder players got the hell out of there the minute the season was over.

Looking at that photo spread, I'm pretty sure she's already exposed just about everything.

Are you really accusing me of "sexually objectifying" the woman who posed for this picture?

Yeah, but that one in a million is busting a gut right now.
I don't see what sexual orientation has to do with this.
That reminds me: The priests who molest children are all grown-ass white men.
So we agree that grown-ass white men cause by far the most damage in the world, pound for pound.
White males are disproportionately represented in Wall Street bankers who caused the worldwide economic crash in 2007-08.
You wanna compare damage?
And white males are disproportionately represented in neo-Nazi and serial killer groups.

Now how does this court case make "average Joes" a little safer?
