I'm seeing posts about the bomb-disposal robot and lots of interesting little stories that I'd love to read some other day but this is the one news site I know of that doesn't mention Alton Sterling or Philando Castile. Why is that?
Via the Guidelines:<p>> Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon.
Because the topic doesn't belong in a news aggregator about technology, science and business. My heart is near the victims and you can show them respect in other meaningful ways.
