I hear ya, but if you think about it, nothing that dog does is up to it. It simply can't consent to anything - from going to the vet to eating (or not eating) a certain brand of dog food.

Yeah, Mother Jones excluded them not because their money is kosher, but because it's difficult to classify these entities. That or the liberal Mother Jones is just biased ;)

Yeah, I'd thought that whiskey would dominate Kentucky's politics :)

It's all down hill for Watson after winning at Jeopardy.

Does this explain my round body shape? DAMN YOU ENGLISH!

I think it's quite standard to do a biopsy to identify the type of tumor.

First of all, thank you for the thoughtful reply - this is one of the things I love most about running this site.

I'm not saying that we should turn Neatorama into (yet another) Buzzfeed or Viralnova clone, but having run this blog since 2005, I've learned that one thing is constant: we have to adapt and evolve.

The web that this blog "grew up" in has changed. The way that content is discovered and consumed has changed. Commenting habit has changed (drastically, if I may add).

I'm not worried about pageviews: We were one of the first big blogs that eschewed splitting posts into multiple pages for the sake of pageviews. We've avoided slideshows for the exact same reason. You can view comments straight on the front page - no need to click to another page to do so. But I am worried about growing the unique visitors (a very hard metrics to grow).

One person's clickbaity title is another person's teaser headline, and it's a damned fine line we'd have to walk to experiment with new ways to grow traffic versus not losing our souls doing so. But one thing is certain: we have to experiment with new ways or risk dying a slow death.

I think Joseph Francis was kidding y'all - "entrepreneur" was derived from the French word "entreprendre" or "to undertake."

Yea, my blood coagulated a little just reading the title!
