hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

glad to see deej is still so obsessed with me he reacts to Cory Sklar offering a half-sentences paraphrase of something I said on my non-public Facebook, not here with multiple posts as if I'd issued some proclamation and were ringing down heaven about it. I look forward to deej insisting no, it's me who's obsessed, and then to me loling at deej

I like the pitchfork "memory hole" policy too. Adds a little mystery to the historical record.

guys we r obvs all totally obsessed w each other otherwise we wldnt be here and wldnt be so mad lol

i mean not that im mad i actually think its extremely funny that everyone else is so mad

it's a sick danse macabre

lagoon sadly otm. except with respect to me of course I am quite obviously above it all but you guys yeah for sure

i actually think its kind of hilarious when u all try to engage with me, its like what hello i just acidentally typed in this url i dont even really go online

This is not about gawker anymore

I've been a unique ILXor stylist from the jump

lagoon is the one true ilx prophet, i owe my lack of capitalization and run-on sentences to him *hands him a check for $19.99 plus s/h*

do people actually like her tone (the new wonkette)? It's this jargon-y smug "sassiness" that I find off-putting, like, please stop pandering with your second-lowest-common-denominator internet-isms and write like the articulate educated person you presumably are. If I wanted to read that kind of prose, I'd stick to the 20-somethings in my fb feed who provide it for free.

this is not exactly a unique style. i hate it too but like, have you ever read a jezebel article (to choose a topical comparison)? it's not far from this

wonkette def so far gone tho, generally pretty incoherent

bless u

Are there any ilxors who regularly use all caps in the Jezebel manner? Could be an opportunity for an ilxor looking to establish a unique style.

leave that to twitter user film crit hulk

oh god film crit hulk until ilx starts giving shit like that and the av club as much shit as gawker i will know there is no justice in the world and i cannot rest

more like screen writing seminar hulk

sure but i think in this case that prob they cldve pulled the story in such a way that went through the proper channels and didnt alienate their ppl so completely, its seems like what editorial took from it is that shd shit ever get deep management is just not serious abt the firewall and will crumble, and of course when shit gets deep is when u need ur principles

denton is kinda reaping the poops he's sown, and not least because he's getting more incoherent each minute -- he's spent ten years going on about how gawker is the last independent publisher and only they have the steely nerve to expose the truth etc. etc. ten years ago his bloggers were racing happy hour at the magician; now they go to media parties, chat with michael wolff and flex their dicks by trashing him the next day. journalism!

i'm sure all 400 gawker employees will name each of their children tommy, but if the top guy on their side of the firewall isn't somewhat realistic (the reichstag ffs!), then someone from the real world is eventually going to point out that outing a guy does not carry the moral weight of the pentagon papers.

obv there's a lot of schadenfreude, but have *any* outside journalists -- who are pretty fond of the whole firewall thing after all! -- supported posting the story?

i don't think i disagree with u g∞nie, but i think you're giving them a bit more credit than they deserve tbh

and yeah i was going to mention that wonkette was basically otm but good god what an annoying writing style, and then sunny would come in and say that i just wanted to fuck it

haha booming post from mookie damn

yeah obvs the nature of the particular hill they died on lends an air of absurdity and grandiosity to the whole thing but ultimately if u pick and choose when u stand up for principles u believe in theyre not really principles anymore, maybe thats more credit than they deserve idk

maybe max n tommy were just super sick of working there who knows

nah i think they thought the ride was gonna last forever. what's the longest anyone's lasted in a high ranking position in gawker? it seems like nobody does it for more than a couple years at a time.

yeah not long
