I know it’s completely missing the point…
But reading @Scalzi’s response to GamerGate jerks just demonstrates how few companies run the media world and how important it is for us to maintain an open internet so that people can express themselves without being gated by companies that, as a whole, tend to be conservative (not in the political sense, in the business…

I’m about as square as you can get – the only intoxicant I consume is an occasional mojito in the summer. (How could I not? My parents are Cuban!) But, given the fact that we’ve had two presidents now who smoked pot (and one who did cocaine), and seem to be OK, it’s nice to…
