guys i dont actually work for gawker. they just forgot to remove my posting ability after i wrote that harry potter/mario party article

loooool

amateur hour in their tech dept it sounds like

ahahaha

decent attempt at the tone of those clickhole polls

unfunny uprising

that tone... came from twitter

horribly formed "revolt"

"The Gawker writers are revolting"

Joke's on him; everyone knows it was the _Macho Man,_ not Hogan, who did the (flying) elbow drop.

I thought that was The Rock.

Leon is on one rn

I buy that the outing wasn't the problem. I don't buy that there wasn't a problem, which that anonymous "staffer" still seems to be saying. Whatever you think of any given company (or nonprofit, or governmental body), their employees' personal lives aren't all fair game for global exposure just because they get a paycheck from someone you don't like. Criticizing professional work is one thing -- like HamNo vs. MEW -- but to frame this thing as "It's OK because outing doesn't matter," or "It's OK because he was a sort-of public figure" misses the actual point.

l. finnegan out

arkin as well

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/william-arkin-fired-gawker-email

"I hate to be hyperbolic, but want to understand ISIS or the Tea Party or Occupy or Charleston or Dylan?" Arkin wrote in the email. "Look no further than Gawker and its ilk, which means look no further than twitter or your own so-called smartphone: We are making the world a miserable place. I’m glad I can withdraw and think about it."

between Weinstein and Arkin it sounds more like Gawker figured out defense/security wasn't ringing up the pageviews more than anything

lmao sounds like that review that called sex and the city 2 a "taliban recruitment advert"

gawker moved to their new offices today, looks pretty cool

after Craggs's tonedeaf Reichstag comment i was ready to be really annoyed by Arkin's ISIS comment, but overall i'm pretty sympathetic to his letter. it sounds like it was rough going to try and cover actual important governmental stuff at that company. i don't even understand why he was ordered to take a buyout, other than just being random collateral damage in the remodeling of the site.

yeah too bad, seems like they cldve done good stuff w the niche subdominans wldve been cool to see them expand into other topics

If anyone is still out there reading this website, we’ve got big news: Ballers episode six was one for the baller record books—to be remembered time and time again in moments of dark despair.

fierce competition developing between leah, tommy and max for who the real g person/editor oat is

adopt my new media personality deathmatch idea and this would be settled, just sayin

fuck, dentonman might've just been able to murder shane smith (and whoever owns reddit, and whoever owns bustle, and whoever owns virtually every new media oligarchy not named gawker media) and be done with it with this blood sport idea of settling grievances. instead of pretending that gawker's exposes of said organizations were done out of a fuckin dedication to truth and altruism because...lol at anyone believing that tbqh

As if the timing were divinely ordained, this coming week the writers, developers and ad people of Gawker Media's New York office move into a purpose-built space at 17th Street and Fifth Avenue. It's a new day, and the beginning of Gawker's second act.

The storm surrounding the CFO escort story has abated sufficiently for our internal soul-searching to begin. After the passionate public argument of the last week, calm is restored enough to begin a real, civil dialogue.

(And with the recent news on Hulk’s real secret, the motivations of our legal antagonist are beginning to emerge.)

this from the outfit that published "on smarm"

for whatever else one might say about this situation, denton doesn't really seem to have risen to the occasion

props for the subjunctive tho

he's risen to the occasion of asserting absolute power regardless of the legitimacy it costs him in the eyes of at least a sizable portion of his employees. I'm sure tech and sales don't gaf about any of this.

max deleted the tweet about c-suites

ugh, this is just like the time unethical journalists took over and destroyed the games journalism industry

xp both of them? dag

did max have an affair?

When I started at Gawker 3 years ago, "Bye, Felicia" wasn't even a thing. But now it is and I'm leaving so bye, Felicia!!!!

if this means we get more caity weaver writing somewhere else i'm all for it - she's the fuckin best and her glaring absence from gawker for the last few months has been painful

otm

At this point it's almost more interesting to see who stays.

well hudson hongo, gawker is now up to you and 500 days of kristin whatever

this

caity is a treasure

I'm sure tech and sales don't gaf about any of this.

they care. tech is motivated by equity and sales is motivated by commission.

denton should move the company to budapest.

what is hamilton nolan doing? i was expecting an anti-boston piece yesterday.
