Where else do you report a bug, and literally watch it get eradicated realtime within minutes?
The same place that trolls and asshats envy the lifespan of mayflies.
That's right.
Here. 😜

@azuregris it's not an ad, and it only shows once per-day, per-IP (if I remember correctly). It's easy enough to close, and plays no sound. And it pushes for people to fight for net neutrality. I'm failing to see the issue here.
It still saddens me that we lost Chris this year.
For those that don't "get it" yet about net neutrality.
This isn't a partisan issue: 75% of Republicans and 83% of all voters (regardless of affiliation/non-affiliation) oppose what the FCC did yesterday.
It is a gift to large corporate donors (read: Comcast, Verizon, ATT, TWC, and mega content providers) who want to segment the Internet into paywalls.
It has already happened in other countries with less voter power. Now they want to replicate that model here.
Using Amazon Prime Now to provide assisting goods to homeless.
And the light shone a little brighter thereafter...
The thrill of it.
The paw of Shiba-san.

Dow breaks 24,000 for the first time, 20 minutes later the weight of all those corporate profits in Delaware causes earthquake (where a vast majority of corporations are formed).

Watching FP2 of the Abu Dhabi Formula1 round, and they had this incredible shot of the Sun from the hot country of UAE. Great shot by the cameramen (ITAP of my TV). #F1 #Sun

Art - Following the theme of "Twitter for adults," here is a visual artist that I feel matches the ethos we are attempting to cultivate here. His work has an implied emotion while depicting otherworldly or post-human concepts.
There is a lot of Tron and Bladerunner and Alien influence in his work, but is a new thing on its own.
Much recommended if you like what you see-thought it would be nice here on Counter.

Share this vid with those of your friends or family that don't quite get it yet.
Point out that the Internet was developed by public-private partnerships, led by the government. Now private companies want to lock it down (like a freeway that allows rich people to go 180mph, but the poor can only go 25mph).
Net Neutrality is in jeopardy...again.
To do:
- https://battleforthenet.com
- Text RESIST to 50409. It will automate faxes to your reps in both houses of Congress.
Even if your representatives agree, they want to know it from constituents.
IF YOU'RE NOT FREAKING OUT ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY RIGHT NOW, YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
