I feel bad for our country. But this is tremendous content.
Post 164094 by naju deleted for the following reason: This seems to be not going over real well, and I don't know that we need a listing of terrible things? Or a fight over whether they're terrible, or if people who don't think they're terrible are themselves ipso facto terrible, or whatever. -- LobsterMitten

The Jerrys are a beautiful thing.
Post 164000 by amnesia and magnets deleted for the following reason: I am applauding the wonderful stupidity of this thing but it'd be better to have a post about this after the fact if there's good footage or whatever of it rather than right now when it's pretty much just a teaser and a donate button for an active fundraiser. -- cortex

A Hopkins Family Christmas
Post 163923 by secretdark deleted for the following reason: Eh, yeah, I appreciate the basic intent here but there's kinda a streak of not-great LOL REDNECKS vibe in the series that's hard to decipher without context and probably not grounds for doing all that for some random jokey family christmas pics. -- cortex

What is the Minimum Viable Citizen?
Post 163819 by I_Love_Bananas deleted for the following reason: The problem described is interesting but the article is full of prime fight-starting material and doesn't really offer any useful suggestions as an answer to the question, seems like a recipe for a lot of heat and little light. -- LobsterMitten

Post 163818 by Foci for Analysis deleted for the following reason: Sorry, eh, we've had the fight about reduced space in airplanes a lot, plus this seems to be from a couple years ago, and public-shamey-photos stuff is always sort of dicey in the first place. -- LobsterMitten

Post 163748 by growabrain deleted for the following reason: this is interesting, but with the way it's framed, people are reading this as a direct ad and it's getting a lot of flags. Maybe repost tomorrow with some more context (like an article about the sale) and/or different wording to make it a little clearer -- or contact us and we can edit right away and undelete.

Buzz Aldrin evacuated from South Pole
Post 163708 by easily confused deleted for the following reason: I like basically all the nouns in this post but this is a pretty thin press-release sort of thing at this point.
