OK, before I go see Jurassic World, I have an update to do on the recent goings down at Reddit. If you’re not caught up on that, here’s a short primer: Their lunatic SJW interim-CEO (Ellen Pao) went on a rampage and deleted some boards. In response, the user base has been rebelling in every way imaginable, with many of them talking about leaving Reddit altogether (thus spawning the #RedditRevolt hashtag on Twitter). Since this went down, there have been many more flare ups, board deletions, and SJW shenanigans. Let’s get started so I can make this movie in time to come back and review it.
First point is, this has done nothing but help GamerGate so far:

(KiA passed 40,000 subscribers just a short time ago.)
The Reddit alternative that has gotten the most play so far, Voat, also seems to be enjoying things:
Thank you all for amazing support, patience and donations! We're working on launching new servers in order to handle the new users…

As usual, the media misses the story. It has nothing to do with loving FatPeopleHate. It has everything to do with censorship. Who decides the line, and when it’s enforced? If it’s a radical ideologue like Ellen Pao, then I’m not comfortable with that:
Pao has a livestream going on today, with comments. That should be a barrel of laughs (10AM PST is 1PM EST. The rest of you, figure it out yourself. lol):

Don’t forget, Big Randi has Ellen’s back:
This says all you need to say about Pao, really. Backed by the Internet's biggest harasser.#GamerGate #RedditRevolt pic.twitter.com/AM9d9MkuHM

Also, a small subreddit dedicated to whale-watching (yes, real whales) has been getting hit by SJWs trying to sabotage their subreddit. Why they’re doing this, I have no idea:

There’s one or two more things that I will come back and add later (as well as any new developments, like news from the stream). Right now, I have to get to Jurassic World. Expect a review up by 3PM EST. Then, I will likely pass out from exhaustion. I hope you enjoy my efforts.
