T/S: Defamer v. Gawker

huge photos tiny text blocks is terrible design
side-panel w/ other stories was great for navigation, I'm not going to scroll backward in Gawker Media's timeline like some tumblr-using savage

i blame sandy

I didn't realize Buzzfeed had original content until recently, I thought it was all just meme aggregations and listicles.

They (very) occasionally produce a good article or two, it must be by accident.

buzzfeed has a really high quality tech section, maybe the best on the internet in terms of intelligent coverage

http://kotaku.com got the same makeover

not that anyone reads that ; )

yeah buzzfeed is really really good except when it's awful, it's so weird

they are paying writers good $$ too or so i heard

Geez. There was a scandal where a female Mayoral candidate recently accused him of hitting on her while on coke at an event & she got dragged through the mud, too. I've seen an indiegogo fund set up to buy this already in twitter.

The Toronto Star has seen the video in question.
Much more to come on thestar.com

this dude is very good at falling over/walking into things

mostly knowing people from the coasts of canada has really poisoned me on toronto, and this dude is soooo not helping

Sounds like this woman may have been on the money

“I looked up (Ford’s) symptoms and it looked like it was cocaine use. It could have been anything like that. I’m not sure what it is,” Thomson said Monday on Toronto radio station KiSS 92.5.

“I don’t have actual proof, it’s just based on the symptoms,” Thomson said. “And the symptoms I’ve read on cocaine seem to fit.”

She said Ford had been behaving in an “erratic” manner and that her Internet search also suggested his behaviour could be attributable to diabetes.

The secret is out, we're all crack smokers ;_; The coasts don't understand Toronto. It's a lovely place but loudmouths make press!

This Indiegogo Crackstarter scheme is ridiculous.
