If you've never read it before, Feynman's original essay is more worth your time (especially the part about the lab rats).

And no one should forget that she was also caught making at least one dick joke that same week:

I personally don't consider any of the jokes sexist, but they absolutely make her a hypocrite.

Yup.

Just last week, KOMO TV in Seattle aired a biased Gamergate story (though, as a sad indication of how low the bar is, it's way less biased than most news media). Three days later, there was a note at the bottom of every story, saying site comments are no more:

Looks like too many gamers were fact-checking their work, and it was too embarassing to let people see that happen.

I can only be about 80% sure that you're fucking with us.

As long as they can remain undetectable from beyond the range of their nuclear warheads*, they will be indispensible. You should even be glad your enemies have them, as they are one of the most stabilizing technologies because they discourage first strikes (by guaranteeing a second strike).

* I know the Virginia-class subs don't have nukes yet.

BTW if anyone is interested in the contents of the video but doesn't want to watch it, Qbertino provided a detailed.summary in the last story about it:

No, the First Amendment only applies to government actions. It may be hard for you to believe, but some of us find virtue in protecting freedom of speech even in cases where the law would let you get away with suppressing it.

Dunno why you'd bring up the tea party or twitter, but it is interesting that this story and last week's twitter story both neglected to use the censorship icon.

One of the most important reasons Gamergate hasn't died is that it exposed (as part of coordinated effort to stomp it out) forces with an apparent willingness and (more shockingly) ability to successfully censor vast swarths of the internet, including sites like slashdot, reddit, and 4chan that were taken for granted as free-speech strongholds.

Of course people are going to care now that they threaten Twitter, which has been second only to Youtube as a major thorn in the censors' sides.

The cover-up didn't work.
The week-long gaming press news blackout and user comment/forum censorship didn't work.
The coordinated, ongoing smear campaign that began with the "Gamers are Over" articles hasn't worked.
The doxxing and harassment of pro-GG folks hasn't worked.
The endless train of embarrassingly desperate counter-hashtags hasn't worked.
The Wikipedia and Nightline hit pieces only damage those outlets' credibility for short-term effect.

PC Gamer is the latest games journalism site to update its ethics policy in the wake of Gamergate, joining IGN, the Escapist, and of course Kotaku/Gawker (though in Gawker's case, they put up more of a fight and the Gamergate pressure to be ethical had to be routed through the FTC). And there are probably more I'm forgetting.

Gamergate also got Brad Wardell (CEO of Stardock) some long-overdue apologies for hit pieces run against him:

Ask yourself how much of this you've seen reported in the corrupt media (which at this point, sadly, clearly includes Slashdot). Of course none of it ever had a chance of appearing in the Wikipedia article. Nothing enrages anti-Gamergaters more than someone covering both sides of the story, and that should tell you something.

Their side thrives only in an environment of propaganda and censorship, and evaporates when faced with integrity and transparency. They prove the need for Gamergate every time they write an article based on the assumption that terrorism and child porn^W^W^W^W misogyny and harassment have become the root passwords to the Constitution^W^W journalistic ethics.

Rate jokes aren't funny.

Look at the PDF you posted. It's not the poll.

Dammit, ignore this post, it is the same link as the GP.
