yesterday it came to light that calvin robinson, a priest who recently lost his license for giving an elon-esque nazi salute at a pro life conference, owns a video game site called god is a geek. today the site's entire staff quit in protest

aftermath.site/god-is-a-gee...
In a statement posted to God Is A Geek, the site’s staff reiterated that Robinson did not actively participate in its operations, but that they nonetheless felt compelled by his recent actions to cease publication entirely. “We have run the site independently of Calvin for several years now in the hopes that we would not have to lose the hard work we have poured into it, the access we have worked hard for, and the relationships we have developed,” God Is A Geek’s editorial team wrote. “However, it has become increasingly clear that we can no longer separate the site from the owner. As a result, the entire editorial team will be stepping down with immediate effect. We will create a new site and our future content will be published there, bereft of any connection to Calvin Robinson. It will be hard to start again, hard to walk away from the work we’ve done here off our own backs, but this is the right thing to do.”

This bugs the hell out of me. Why didn't they maintain determinism of the account name?

This is the case for all removed sections. No one listened to the little boy who cried wolf.

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday.

Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!

for a while now i have this thing i like to do on facebook. it'll suggest a post of some article, (often something science- or research-based) and i'll go into the comments, replying to those who disagree: "did you read the article?"

the way people react to that question is hilarious.
