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

The daily mail did it too!

Don't clutch your pearls so tight, might strain a tendon.

in most cases, i think publishing photos of dead bodies is gratuitous, but not here. 1,000 people died in the mediterranean this past week and it was mostly reported as an aside.

What are pearls for if not for clutching? And casting before swine, I guess?

I don't have a position on this, I just thought that pointing to other sources doing it is a poor argument. Showing brutal consequences can be valuable, but it's not valuable just because it's brutal.

oh god, Hamno

This was caused by politics, not by an act of god. Consider who caused it. And who allowed it to happen.

this really did have the vibe of the kind of presentations the church of scientology probably gives people about how they're helping the world

peter thiel doesn't give a shit about hulk hogan's privacy

betcha hulk hogan doesn't give a shit about the sex part of his sex tape either:

http://nypost.com/2015/07/24/why-is-wwe-frantically-scrubbing-hulk-hogan-mentions/

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan was body-slammed by WWE on Friday when it was revealed he went off on a racist tirade in his infamous sex tape that’s at the center of a lawsuit with Gawker, according to reports.

Hogan is heard spewing hate speech in a conversation about his daughter, Brooke, and her African-American boyfriend, sources told Radar Online and The National Enquirer:

“I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f–k some n—-r, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n—-r worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we’re all a little racist. F–king n—-r.”

Well, yeah.

cloyd says merica not murica

GMG is heavily active in driving commerce-based revenues and has an impressive publishing and commerce platform with Kinja

lol

Spin off Deadspin and Jalopnik so they aren't encumbered by all the bullshit of Gawker Prime.

stupid question but would any new owner of Gawker instantly become vulnerable to any lawsuits regarding old Gawker posts?

my sense is they might be selling off like most things except gawker proper?

kinda wonder how much this whole thing has hinged on daulerio being a dumbass witness/asshole

not a lot, prob, assuming thiel is as big of a shithead as he is and his thought process when bringing the thing to trial is true (which I assume it is...)

long discussion here between tom scocca and david simon about the case
https://twitter.com/tomscocca/status/741381153718947840

rly wish right to free speech didn't encompass twitter randos chiming into multi-pt convos #data #itsmy2cents

Scocca is an intellectual pubic hair.

david simon is a moron in that thread but it doesn't seem to matter because everyone is talking past one another. after claiming he supported the legal grounds he then shifted entirely to his moral standard that has nothing to do with the law, claimed the case was extraordinary when it wasn't and then basically conceded he had no fucking clue what gawker actually published.1

good riddance

i'll hafta use this on a special occasion, like if ISIS hits the debates.

Correction: Max Read was a former Gawker night editor, not editorial assistant. I regret the error.

why do you guys hate blake lively so much?

I appreciate this for "offensive pastiche of poverty"

I would not buy anything from this website. The wristwatch that is artfully draped over the antler made me very upset.

OK, which ILXor is this? 'Fess up.

my wife has read a bunch of profiles of blake lively and insists something is not quite right with her..
