It's nowhere near October, but one ensemble is already on track to be named the most controversial Halloween costume of 2015.

Social media users were out in full force on Monday criticizing several Halloween retailers for offering a Caitlyn Jenner costume reminiscent of the former-athlete's Vanity Fair cover earlier this year.

While Jenner's supporters condemned the costume as "transphobic" and "disgusting" on Twitter, Spirit Halloween, a retailer that carries the costume, defended the getup.

"At Spirit Halloween, we create a wide range of costumes that are often based upon celebrities, public figures, heroes and superheroes," said Lisa Barr, senior director of marking at Spirit Halloween. "We feel that Caitlyn Jenner is all of the above and that she should be celebrated. The Caitlyn Jenner costume reflects just that."

At least a few more states got a clue (wished Ohio did last year).


Mammoth corporations can be total dicks when they have to.

I voted against Ohios because it was set up fucked. It created a state monopoly, which no. Just no.

I suppose that was the only way we could ever get it anyway, unless there's another method you might know of. They were going to set up one of those farms just down the street from my house.
 
Github is introducing "community guidelines"

"Building software should be safe for everyone."


Github is like a social network for programming. You work on code, your edits get published publicly. You can report bugs. You can fork projects. You can submit edits to other people's. And all these things have comment chains. There have been things like this in the past, but they came in the form of really shitty mailing lists.

Additionally, you can pay to host private repositories on github. At my last job, github was essential to our workflow.

For professional programmers, github is pretty cool. People can view your profile and see how active you are and what projects you've contributed to. This is very useful for getting jobs.

Anyway, it seems that SJWs have been trying to get their claws into github for awhile:
It's not clear how bad these community guidelines will turn out. Hopefully it won't be the dumpster fire that twitter is.

I guess it depends on who worms their way into the job of head "no fun allowed" enforcer at github.
