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

Hamilton Nolan's boxing writing is as embarrassing as your typical Salon article btw. Deadspin needs to work on the niche sports writing. Really they need to work on everything over there.

I'll always like Norman Mailer because of that horrible thing he did to Ryan O'Neal

There are in-groups. Hoo boy, there are in-groups.

Yeah but they don't announce themselves as such. I'm talking about a group that would stroll around this place wearing matching satin jackets, heads held high, communicating with one another with complicated multi-layered in jokes and throwing pies in the faces of anyone who got in their way.

Well, if they wanted more Hulk Hogan ammo, here it comes

so thankful i live in a world where i never have to think abt norman mailer if i dont want to

i'm so glad you and Katha Pollitt can sleep nights.

Well then.

what a disaster

Groker.

I bet the company will get a cool name everyone will respect and be impressed by

american amalgamated gossip and thinkpiece

american amalgamated gossip and codpiece

that sounds like a pretty juicy piece of gossip, how come they're not talking about it on gawker

shit, inc

mawker

frotteur

gaffer

fucker

Quikster

denton told staffers he wants the new site to be “10 to 15 percent nicer” than the old site

realistic, measurable goals like these are very important to any successful business

Can nicer be measure by click-throughs? Maybe the site will remain the same, but they'll just toss in more stories about puppies to track that nicer metric.

Rushing headlong into the Country Life Butter commercial phase.

it's tempting to say the dude is flailing, but iirc he's always been spouting ambitious gibberish

been says the parent company and site shd have a diff names its confusing not good when u have a bunch of properties and ur named after ur most controversial one

assume theyll change the parent co

At one point during the meeting, a staffer asked Denton who his dream editor for Gawker.com would be. Denton said that if he could pick anyone to edit the site, he would choose Ta-Nehisi Coates, the Atlantic senior correspondent and bestselling author.

Denton's interior monologue: "Who's the guy everybody loves and is terrified to say anything bad about in public right now? Say him!"

You mean Stet?

lol TNC shd accept, wld love to see his gawk

nah this obv had permanent consequences for both the brand + the involved employees xp

yeah i mean if denton is srs abt getting nicer thats def a major permanent consequence right there

don't know how much impact that will actually have. i suppose the major revolutions here are: guess what, the money ppl were in charge all along; no one has your back after all; at any given moment you may believe you are operating exactly in accordance with guidelines but the guidelines will change suddenly and you will find yourself freefalling into a mountain of shit
