For those of you who don’t follow Cernovich on twitter, something caught his attention about James Gunn enough to start reposting tweets. Tweets that Gunn later tried to palm off as, and the media is trying to pass off as well, as “jokes”. I’m not going to make you skip over the pictures to get to the rest of the commentary, so I’m leaving them at the end. OK, so “joking about raping kids is obviously exaggeration.” Uh, no.

To follow up on the notes in my previous post where Apple really dropped the fucking ball – and other people, even fanboys, are arguing that Apple is provably losing it on multiple fronts – John Gruber points [https://daringfireball.net/linked/2017/01/03/adamson] to an article called “ Capitulation [http://subfurther.com/blog/2017/01/03/capitulation/].” > Yes, I bought a new Mac Pro. For certain values of “new”. Hear me out, though, after the jump. Why? So, my last post [http://subfurther.com…
