T/S: Defamer v. Gawker

Again, sorry to vent about all this, but lack of public awareness about diseases is a huge challenge that many disabled people face. Insensitive shit like this, as inconsequential as it might seem on the surface, can actually have a huge on people's quality of life, because it fans the stigma around certain conditions. I usually try to temper my outrage over stupid Internet content, but in this case it's actually making people's lives worse, so I feel the need to try to do something to correct it.

having been in the professional blogging trenches, i think in the grind you become a cross between joel mchale on the soup and jake gyllenhaal in nightcrawler

p4reene to reenter Gawker trenches btw

dan lyons seems not very bright and very un-gawker-like :(

Lyons, whose idea of a joke involves strikethrough text and whose idea of a lede is "Imagine a room full of these things,"
