see also that black swan intern case which is apparently internageddon for the film industry

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.

This is weird. Interesting but weird and it bothers me on some level but I can't articulate why.

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

i bet you aren't

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

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?

link plz

http://www.stellaculinary.com/podcasts/video/how-to-qucikly-caramelize-onions-short-version

his normal cooking videos are actually p good, though his voice is annoying. for some reason with this he decided to do this full-on comic book guy nerd rant with stupid funny voices and its like uhhhhh

the short version is tolerable tho

thanks!

I always feel duped when I land on a Gawker sister site that has that ~earnest~ tone that appeals to the self-proclaimed "nerds" that dudes like Max and Sam make fun of on the daily

really did you REALLY think sam biddle thinks bullying should be "brought back"?

do you think sam biddle's issue with nerds is that they like star wars figures or that when people suggest video games should be held to the same standards as other artforms they form weird little cliques and persecute women?

i wonder i wah wah wah wah wonder

Max's lengthy Game of Thrones explainers were pretty earnest
