Sometimes I Forget You're A Robot

Selfies at Funerals
Post 133331 by naju deleted for the following reason: No dig at your intentions, naju, but the tumblr does feel a little point-and-laugh in execution and I'm not sure leading with it is a great idea for a post even if the other links are potentially post-worthy as a discussion of a social phenomenon. -- cortex

Post 133315 by MisantropicPainforest deleted for the following reason: We've talked about Vick a lot in the past and it's hard to see how this amounts to a significant new development beyond the one bar's boycott. Just doesn't seem like a uniquely interesting thing on the web nor a discussion we're dying to have, to be honest. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Post 133120 by Homemade Interossiter deleted for the following reason: Heya, we talked about ways to reframe this to come off as less of an leading-question-editorial thing yesterday, this doesn't seem to have taken any of that into account. I guess drop us a line if you want some more feedback on this. -- cortex

The Lost Vacaville Tapes
Post 132903 by macadamiaranch deleted for the following reason: Eh, exploitative release of older crappy recordings by famously insane guy turns out to make for a bad record? I can appreciate the cultural weirdness at the center of it but as actual post content this is kind of thin. -- cortex

Post 132883 by Rory Marinich deleted for the following reason: "Here's something that is of poor quality and somewhat racist" isn't really a great basis for a post. -- LobsterMitten

Post 132680 by wenestvedt deleted for the following reason: No real big deal, but this feels as framed like it's a little on the "this is my take on this" side of things and it might be better to give this another go including some sort of external commentary making it clear how this is new/different in a way that's interesting or significant compared to the current payment widget ecosystem. -- cortex
