Chicago police kill two, injure one in two more shootings.
Post 155854 by Westringia F. deleted for the following reason: These are some shitty things for sure and I appreciate that you put some serious effort into constructing this, but we have multiple threads open right now about police and gun violence and I don't think it's gonna be a great idea to have essentially a monthly CPD crappiness omnibus thread on the front page. -- cortex

Post 155777 by HuronBob deleted for the following reason: This is a striking visualization (and hi Matt!), but probably better as a link in the open gun policy thread or the open thread about mathowie's other recent gun-related project. -- LobsterMitten
Why are they all so bad at their jobs?
Post 155776 by ericbop deleted for the following reason: Hey, this "what is war stars anyway?" riff seems to be not going over that well; might go over better with different framing or with other skeptical links? For people who liked/are interested in talking about the movie, the Fanfare thread is hopping. -- LobsterMitten

GOP Opponents of Obamacare Using Obamacare
Post 155625 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: Hey, this is pretty thin, probably better in the open Ted Cruz thread and in general, when your source starts with "OUTRAGEOUS HYPOCRISY" that may be a sign that you're posting outragefilter. -- LobsterMitten
Martin Shkreli Arrested on Securities Fraud Charges
Post 155622 by Jacqueline deleted for the following reason: Here's the thread on Shkreli and the Wu Tang album, posted only last week — I don't think this development warrants a thread of its own but it's totally fine of course to discuss it in there. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

Paul Ryan 2016? David Brin speculates.
Post 155554 by Marky deleted for the following reason: hey there, in the spirit of a) trying to keep US election posts to a manageable number on the site, and b) making those posts as useful and productive as possible, this would probably be better as a bit more in-depth thing on the various possibilities of a GOP brokered convention rather than a single-link "this-one-guy-kind-of-spitballing" thing. Please contact us if you'd like to discuss, or edit this post to change it up in the next hour or two. -- taz

Post 155511 by roomthreeseventeen deleted for the following reason: If we're going to have a post on this set of incredibly charged and difficult subjects, let's not do it by way of "just exactly how bad is Caitlyn Jenner, here are some offensive remarks and let's fight over how bad or not bad they are." -- LobsterMitten

Free Energy, $1200
Post 155360 by chrchr deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the delayed delete. I was leaving this because it sounded like people were about to actually buy one and dissect it... but reading more closely, it seems like they're saying they'll ship in 6 weeks, which means this post would be closed by the time anyone actually lays hands on the thing. Given that we've seen this company a number of times before, probably better to hold off and post about it once they ship and actual analyses come out. -- LobsterMitten
On the Murphy Bill
Post 155354 by xarnop deleted for the following reason: Hey there, sorry, a single-issue advocacy website is rarely going to be a good core for a Mefi post. The issues raised by the bill could work as a post with different links, though. -- LobsterMitten
It's OK, you can admit it.

Post 155349 by splinky deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, this framing isn't good form for a MetaFilter post. A post here should link to some exceptionally good thing online, and shouldn't in most cases include your own opinion about the thing. -- LobsterMitten

Star Wars was always a boys thing and a movie that dads took their sons
Post 155338 by cendawanita deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, we've had a lot of Star Wars coverage lately, and I don't know that JJ Abrams saying a dumb thing and then apologizing is really worth a whole fighty thread unto itself. -- LobsterMitten
Trump and Muslims
Post 155336 by andy_t deleted for the following reason: There's an active Trump thread, although now that I've given a second look at these links, don't bring the "Muslims are bad" stuff over there; that's really not going to fly anywhere on this site. -- LobsterMitten

The Page One Editorial
Post 155259 by nightrecordings deleted for the following reason: Sorry, on reflection, as-framed this is going to just be a continual tug of war about what subjects belong in this thread vs the active gun control thread... if you'd like to do a post on page-one editorials that's framed in a way that makes the editorial-history angle more clearly the focus, it would be fine to repost. Hit us up at the contact form if you'd like to discuss. -- LobsterMitten

Bathroom Attacks By Trans* People
Post 155197 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: Hey, good to see this get backed up -- just, this might be a bit on the thin side for an FPP as it basically only confirms what lots of folks have been saying for a long time. This might work as part of a more fleshed-out post? I think as it stands there's just not enough "there" there to lead to a productive discussion, sorry. -- goodnewsfortheinsane
