Random Thoughts: Wendy Davis, GamerGate, and Apple Pay

Wendy Davis has done as well as you’d expect for someone only known for wearing pink sneakers while filibustering for late term abortion.

“Republicans want to keep all interracial marrying for themselves!” -Wendy Davis

So with the Wendy Davis campaign, Democrats donated millions to entertain Republicans.

One of the interesting lessons of #GamerGate is that there are consequences in being openly disdainful of the market you cater to.

“You misogynistic, racist morons, shut up and listen to us lecture you on how enlightened we are!” #GamerGate

I only have an iPhone 5S so I’m going to have to watch people use Apple Pay while I use a debit card like some caveman.

“Aren’t you going to pay for this?”
“One sec. I have to pull my card out of my wallet.”
“YOU’RE WASTING EVERYONE’S TIME!”

    That’s a lesson that Newsweek never learned, and many other members of the MSM still haven’t. Jeff Bezos didn’t need the lesson to begin with, which is why the Washington Post is a much better newspaper than it was before he bought it.
