http://gawker.com/heres-what-gawker-media-does-1779858799#

was there an easier way to present this information. perhaps make it more similar to a Buzzfeed listicle

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

wow, Cloyd Rivers posts on ilx, i had no idea

lmao

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?

http://gawker.com/nothing-can-convince-me-that-blake-livelys-life-is-wort-1783149705

because of this http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/blake-lively-and-ryan-reynoldss-creepy-creepy-wedding-and-other-horror-stories-from-this-weeks-tabloids/

lol ok. weird.

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..

her sister, aka teen witch, fuckin rules.

blake lively seems like a cipher. her public persona is close enough to many of her screen personas that you brush off any evidence that there's a human who is not playing a role, until something like an interest in the "antebellum south" without any recognition of what that term entails pops up and it makes you wonder what's actually going on in there.

either that or she's secretly creating gossip girl season something-teen in real life as an artistic endeavor
