This was pretty awesome! I'm curious, though, how you became a fan. Just from the game?

You are so fucking weak. Your private equity overlords fit the leash on for this one?

some later shown to be incorrect.

David Hoch deleted his social media after we began making inquiries but we archived his posts where he wrote that Muslims were "demons" that "even the Blacks were sick of," and said "every Somali in MN is engaged in fraud. ALL of them."

Robert Collier, a San Francisco Chronicle reporter, filed a dispatch that noted a small number of Iraqis at Firdos, many of whom were not enthusiastic. When he woke up the next day, he found that his editors had recast the story. The published version said that "a jubilant crowd roared its approval" as onlookers shouted, "We are free! Thank you, President Bush!" According to Collier, the original version was considerably more tempered. "That was the one case in my time in Iraq when I can clearly say there was editorial interference in my work," he said recently. "They threw in a lot of triumphalism. I was told by my editor that I had screwed up and had not seen the importance of the historical event. They took out quite a few of my qualifiers."

The Network State cult was conceived at Y Combinator.

Balaji Srinivasan gave his big anti-USA speech there in 2013. From the New York Times:
New York Times story from 2013: In a nutshell, Mr. Srinivasan, a computer scientist and co-founder of the genomics company Counsyl, told a group of young entrepreneurs that the United States had become “the Microsoft of nations”: outdated and obsolescent. When technology companies calcify, Mr. Srinivasan said, you don’t reform them. You exit and launch your own. Why not do so with America? In practice, this vision calls for building actual communities that would be beyond the reach of the state that Silicon Valley’s libertarians despise. But in the near term, Mr. Srinivasan noted, there are piecemeal ways to opt out of the society — like spending unregulated digital currency, sleeping in unregulated hotels and manufacturing unregulated guns. What Mr. Srinivasan called “Silicon Valley’s ultimate exit,” he explained, “basically means build an opt-in society, ultimately outside the United States, run by technology.” The speech won roars from the audience at Y Combinator, a leading start-up incubator. It earned hearty praise online as well — even as it worried others.

58 this year. Wonder what the cut off was. I'm still periodically baffled this was moved to the turn indicator lever.
