ya that's wonderful

laughing so hard at my desk like an idiot right now

i have a lot going on in my life today, but i think my #1 priority is seeing this video

john cook is the best

Well, it was a good scoop. Can't say I'm a fan of his writing.

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.

Tom Scocca's twitter feed rules today

Thanks for the #exclusive heads up, this is gold!

Denton has announced that he is adding a birdwatching offshoot to his media empire. That's right, a news site for hip birdwatchers. The new site will be called Auker Media.

Is there a way to do the asterisms so that the "EXPAND" doesn't show

no

is there an rss feed for individual writers' articles that doesn't include their comments

no.

thatz not okay is usually amazing but i am not a fan of the "suck it up and do what your parents want" tone it has taken over the holidays

Am I wrong in thinking this is indefensible from Gawker? What's the upside to outing a college student who was in a pageant a couple of years ago for doing some shitty amateur porn for a few bucks?

nope, you're not wrong

that's lame

I guess they've found their successor to Neetzan Zimmerman.

Still angry about this today. I like Jalopnik and Gizmodo but I think it's time to start avoiding Gawker Media properties as much as possible.

My only new years resolution was a hard prohibition on clicking on gawker media stuff and I gotta tell you my internet experience has definitely improved, less exasperation and erosion of worldfaith

tour de force today, kate upton zero g photoshoot post, north korean gulag prisoner drawings post, pussy riot police-wagon selfie post all in 24 hours

oh huh http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/03/gawker-editor-john-cook-joins-first-look-media.html

dude acting like he invented http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Principle

Writers have never been in more need of editors than now

^^^ tbomb

check avclub.com if u disagree

editors are vital obviously but i love the look of a writer writing against editors addressing himself to and being answered on-site by his own editor

Kinda feel bad for him that n+1 rejected his piece so he had to default to his regular platform

max u r a treat

what is w/ this nonsense?
