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

all boats rise when you take a giant shit in the water

I join Cory in liking Wonkette because the tone's funny - I mean, none of this stuff is exactly a balanced breakfast, you know?

(re: "dick wet with poo")

I read the aforementioned phrase and was like, is there some contest going on right now for who can make the most edgy for lols homophobic move in new media right now or something?

It's pretty clearly satire of the gay panic angle in the original story?

oh my god the new wonkette writing style is execrable

i mean it's superficially yung internet slang but it's trying way too hard to be zany, it's unreadable

It's pretty clearly satire of the gay panic angle in the original story?

is it though

the beverage hunk @pareene
the multimillionaire CEO publicly and self-righteously shitting on a subordinate is indeed a good explainer

Nick Denton @nicknotned
Confused about the culture clash at Gawker? Here's an explainer.

nick just asked the entire staff if they thought "the post" was good... then @pareene asked everyone they thought kinja worked

btw joining in the recommendation to read her timeline from the meeting yesterday prob the most interesting and illuminating thing thats come out of all of this so far

u guys last night I dreamed S@rge spent Christmas with my family , i think he's gonna be ok O_o

he's a white teen, he'll be fine

nick just hit his head on a lamp

i dunno how lamp got into that meeting.

Send Lamp in there to clean house.

I don't recall her twitter being "recommended" itt so much as mocked for maintaining such high levels of faux naivety, snark, and unearned self righteousness.

i.e. Gawker in a nutshell

But what would a poster of quality and substance like lagoon find commendable and "illuminating" in that?

who the heck is "boxall"

u guys last night I dreamed S@rge spent Christmas with my family , i think he's gonna be ok O_o

lol

it explained what was happening in the editorial meeting. metaphorically you might say it 'illuminated' what happened in the meeting.

i know weird right

xp except when dentdog's head hit the lamp, slightly diminishing the room's light level for a moment

i think being adopted by the vegemite family could help an at-risk youth like j0rd

lol

how is everyone ignoring ned's tomo news video

Not their best work tbh.

i hope max changes his fbook photo

Still hurt that I called you out on the fact that your chill cuddly stoner teen facade is slipping huh?

this gawker writer is the most generic looking white guy ever

That pic of Rich is super sad

rip max, tommy craggs

i have a shirt that says "al jardine keeps it clean" in the same font

#maxreadandtommycraggslivesmatter

jesus christ is that shirt real

that video looks like it was shot in a regional library in Arkansas

i can't imagine how marc lamont hill is thinking anything other than "are u fuckin serious man" looking at juzwiak's t-shirt, considering what's on his own, jesus christ

i kind of appreciate the gawkers staffs histrionic reaction to this, its just like their version of our mod wars, like youre half serious half trolling all actually mad

^^otm

SAY THEIR NAMES

is that shirt on etsy? would buy
