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

i've been in the camp of "I only read gawker for the thoughtful longform pieces" for a while, but if this backlash sticks it might become harder for gawker to retain any of that credibility with either writers or audience

i'm guessing more writers will think twice about pitching to gawker if they don't do some serious damage control xp

YES

‏@pareene
the perfect end to this election is Trump quitting and an actual doctrinaire conservative cruising to victory on a raft of media praise

where "actual doctrinaire conservative" means someone who intends to eradicate the death penalty, preserve abortion access and voting rights, and possibly expand social security? Sorry I know it's tiresome continuing to mention the domestic policy differences between actual conservatism and what you think it means

HRC has never come out against the death penalty afaik

It's in the platform and the nomination of Scalia's replacement will most likely seal the deal.

I think pareene is talking about fantasy of Trump quitting and GOP replacing him with standard issue con before election

the replacement would lose massively

maaaybe

we already did the dog and pony circus and the platypus won. one other medal finisher burned the party on the way out, the other sewed himself to trump's leg. There just isn't anyone else unless you think they'll run bernie.

i think trump's supporters are so rabid...i mean bernie lost and his supporters are still fuming, imagine what the don's will do if he's forced out by the GOP establishment. i don't see hillary losing to someone "the people didn't nominate", as it were.

lol i love how Tombot assumed that tweet was in reference to HRC cuz Morbs quoted it

can we not have this shit seep into every thread

I assumed Morbz interpretation of it was that
I did not assume Pareene meant HRC

i'm not an idiot u know

(go ahead)

everyone knows that the Modern Neolib Democratic Prez gives out the Love Candidate social-issue stuff in exchange for the tacit acceptance of Endless War and stagnant wages.

the nude kid content of that article is (thankfully) zero

what a weird thing to attack gawker for when there's so much less-questionable stuff to dredge up

so their complaint is about a gawker article asking whether exploitation of teen sexuality is ok, and it wasn't gawker's content but them linking to someone else's?

I give up

"fam"

As of Monday, Daulerio had just $1,505.78 in his checking account, according to a screenshot of his bank statement submitted to the court, which has been frozen in advance of today’s hearing.

I am at least enjoying the "don't give a fuck" phase.

My no fucks stage would include a lot of blind items about "a certain tech billionaire."

Rob Ford crack video released btw

this is hilarious

Basically, imagine if there were a Gawker for women. Then, imagine a version of that, but for men. That’s The Cuck.

trying to imagine who wants to read that

have to break it to my friend it's not going to survive and is part of the outburst of death throes content

I would love to read it because it's funny

i mean, i get it? and i get the meta joke too? and maybe the meta on the meta joke? but at a certain point aren't you just pointing in the mirror and laughing?

In the end, it’s probably worth it for you to use dark magic and create a thrall out of wood and string instead of interacting with real humans.

I do that for about ten minutes every morning. Very freeing.

the mirror-laughing, that is

i'm down with yogic laughing and likely self clown more than most on this here website but that there COMEDY does not compute
more power to you tho

are they just gonna take the art of manliness / marketing of masculinity threads and package it in to a site?
