Post 155084 by Shouraku deleted for the following reason: I completely understand that you are posting this as an interesting article, but it's basically an open invitation to fight about pretty much All The Things, and with several very difficult threads about violence going on we just don't have the bandwidth for that kind of moderation-heavy discussion. Maybe another time? -- taz

How Adele's Rolling Stone cover destroys the male gaze
Post 155054 by St. Peepsburg deleted for the following reason: Hyperbolic headlines help no one, and this thread seems doomed to die under the weight of "ironic" humor, sorry. -- restless_nomad

Good luck filling this position
Post 155029 by cynical pinnacle deleted for the following reason: Someone did a bad thing here, but I'm not convinced that it's got enough to it to be worth a whole thread, sorry. -- restless_nomad

Donald Trump: The man, the mystery, the fascist?
Post 155001 by internet fraud detective squad, station number 9 deleted for the following reason: This is a better-constructed post than the last one, but we have a Trump post from yesterday that this would go better in. -- restless_nomad

How America Bought and Sold Racism, and Why it Still Matters
Post 154972 by roomthreeseventeen deleted for the following reason: This is mashing up a kind of academic discussion of historical and contemporary racism in the US with a just-happened terrible bit of racist violence in a way that makes for a not super clear post and less than ideal kickoff for a discussion of either of those two things. -- cortex
Yoga cancelled.
Post 154970 by MisantropicPainforest deleted for the following reason: This feels a lot more like a "taken from a distance, this makes for a juicy and topical subject to argue about" sort of situation than a "the core event here is itself substantially interesting" kind of deal, and given that the larger subject is a messy one that we've have some pretty bumpy and difficult discussions about already recently this seems like not really a great idea for a post. -- cortex
Sad Weird Al
Post 154991 by numaner deleted for the following reason: Heya, yeah, this seems to be sort of early in the cycle for this to be a post - maybe revisit this later, once there are a bunch of good images? -- LobsterMitten

The Clinton email saga, seen in a different light.
Post 154920 by markkraft deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but this is not clear at all. A post that seemingly begins about Anita Datar smashed up with a link about HRC email server doesn't work. Additionally, we currently have two open posts on Clinton, and new one needs to be a lot more substantial than this. -- taz
Naming at Princeton
Post 154926 by kingless deleted for the following reason: Hey there, the personal framing here is a bit off Metafilter form for posts, which aren't really meant to be much like personal blog entries. Please contact us, and we can work up a quick edit! -- taz
"Maybe Big Brother isn't the bad guy -- if he protects us from ISIS."
Post 154922 by 0bvious deleted for the following reason: This seems basically like "random guy comes up with terrible plan that also promotes his 'my transhumanism, let me show you it' PR goals" rather than a serious issue we need to fight about? If there's more to it, maybe some more context will help. -- taz

We need more freedom of information rather than less.
Post 154915 by Grangousier deleted for the following reason: Sorry, but this is either super editorializing ("waste of flesh") or, if that bit is an actual quote from the podcast it needs to be clearer. Please go ahead and repost tomorrow with better framing or contact us to edit right away. -- taz
750,000 aliens
Post 154914 by growabrain deleted for the following reason: Sorry, framing this as side-taking in some kind of notional Mefi vs reddit thing isn't great, the imperative at the end isn't really Mefi form, and "here are just a bunch of random good things from reddit" is too loose a net. -- LobsterMitten
"Not in my name."
Post 154906 by Sir Rinse deleted for the following reason: This is pretty slight for a post; maybe better as a comment in one of the ongoing terrorism or Islam in Europe threads? -- LobsterMitten

Life as a drone operator
Post 154842 by AGameOfMoans deleted for the following reason: Hey sorry, this kind of "my personal take on it" framing isn't a workable form for a Mefi post. -- LobsterMitten
