Letter from Ramallah: Despair, too, has its routines
Post 139534 by whyareyouatriangle deleted for the following reason: I can't tell if this is any more interesting than a typical I/P post, since the linked site doesn't scroll for me anyway. -- mathowie
Halt! Hammerzeit.

"So it was really a competition against the dictionary..."
Post 139503 by doctornecessiter deleted for the following reason: Neat! But a short CNN wrap-up is a little thin for a post, probably better just to keep the discussion to this recent Bee thread. -- cortex

Boys..and boys loving boys..and Lip-synching (slyt).
Post 139451 by shockingbluamp deleted for the following reason: Can you maybe rephrase this post to be more about how much you like the band and leaving out the not-super-useful "I'm het and all" please? -- jessamyn
But you don't have to take my word for it.

"We are Change" Interviews 1st Responder Firefighter/Whistleblower
Post 139360 by Pr0t35t3r deleted for the following reason: 9/11 trutherism has pretty well had a hearing and we don't really need to be going over it again. (Also note, for future reference, that posts at MeFi are not meant to include this kind of personal-reaction stuff; that kind of framing goes better on one's own blog.)-- LobsterMitten

The Peculiar Madness of Trigger Warnings
Post 139276 by SkylitDrawl deleted for the following reason: There's a long open thread about this from a few weeks ago. If this is new info on top of that, maybe make it a bit clearer? -- jessamyn

At last, a happy SSM story from England for you!
Post 139256 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: It's tomorrow and the fiat is no longer in force :) More to the point, we do have a glut of same-sex marriage posts and this is all a bit thin to warrant a new one, maybe post this as a comment in one of the open ones? -- goodnewsfortheinsane

A glut of unsold cars
Post 139171 by Chocolate Pickle deleted for the following reason: There may be an interesting post about this, but this conspiracy theorist is using unattributed, ganked images from 4-5 years ago, so not great here. Feel free to go ahead and make a post with better sources and info later. -- taz

American Coup
Post 139158 by Pogo_Fuzzybutt deleted for the following reason: Drily sarcastic posts about nutty political stunts feels more like something for DailyKos than Metafilter. -- cortex

Post 139155 by estherbester deleted for the following reason: This is sort of adorable but it's also as a 17 second video of some dogs really kinda pushing it for a front page post. -- cortex

Fuck The Patriarchy

the right to go crazy on the dance floor without being hassled
Post 139040 by aniola deleted for the following reason: I respect and appreciate that harassment is lousy and this might be a good remedy. At the same time, a SLBOE about how women need to deal with street harassment is basically like saying "Internet people: fight" and that doesn't make a good post for MetaFilter. -- jessamyn
Well, it should be.
Post 139037 by feckless fecal fear mongering deleted for the following reason: This sucks and is shitty news but as with all really touchy issues, we need a post that isn't just huffpo/beast "OMG THIS SUCKS" post. Maybe post in this thread? -- jessamyn
11 Comics Every Introvert Will Understand
Post 139029 by bitteroldman deleted for the following reason: Eh, love to all our introverts but Buzzfeed hodgepodge posts are kind of overdone; a roundup of some of these actual comics/blogs might make for a better post. -- cortex

R.A.P. vs Cyril Smith
Post 138898 by marienbad deleted for the following reason: Having just now caught up with the relevant facts, it appears to me this is little "Best Of the Web" and lots of "deceased MP may well have done terrible things", leaving little for us to do but agree and speculate. Maybe let's not. -- goodnewsfortheinsane

How Social Norms Impact "Objective" Scientific Research

How I Killed A Startup In 4 Hours

Compassion is not a finite resource.
Post 138749 by Blasdelb deleted for the following reason: Sorry for the delay on this, but I've been working through the links and trying to see if the critical material is actually available for people to refer to, and this seems to be the problem: at this point it appears that only the few people who have access to the actual paywalled study can discuss the figures and methodology of some of the most surprising claims, while others sort of stand by or express doubt or support of the Slate interpretation. Blasdelb, it's a fascinating topic, and maybe you can rework this and repost in a way that will work a little better. Thanks. -- taz
