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

that's kind of my take, I never quite get it but the ideal seems to be that journalism is an end in itself. seems like it would follow from the inner ring of the enterprise always being writing facing inward toward journalism and journalists

coming from software development where a significant number of people are more invested in programming the best rather than solving other problems via programming, it isn't unnatural

It's definitely not unnatural. It's just, since so much of this discussion happens in the media, the medias self obsession is much more public. But they're narcissistic assholes, and should be treated as such.

can't stop won't stop

So... where do ppl read the news written in not in a, uh, serious voice, nowadays?

also: http://notgawker.kinja.com/

just fyi i am at a cafe and a high school student is talking with his mom about school. he has written two pages of a four page paper on gawker.

gawker was for the children, never forget

it would have been so sweet to have gawker during this election cycle

There's Cryptogawker via Deadspin/The Concourse.

yeah there's def basically "Gawker" stuff scattered around the whole network, also sometimes on gizmodo or jezebel but it's obviously more of a hassle

this election pretty much is Gawker in real time

Someone was collecting the splattering of Gawker-esque content here, but it looks like they stopped

http://notgawker.kinja.com/

yeah seriously tons of print journalists congratulating themselves on print journalism this election and i'm yeah, the good website got sued out of existence, so of course newspapers are dominating.

What's In_?

intercept

buzzfeed is only neutral if you think market capitalism is benign

fuck buzzfeed imo

I like how The Intercept is "Lawful" presumably because Greenwald has a JD, I assume

I hate that chart actually, the criteria are nonexistent, it's just logos and feelings and it really just doesn't show the proper respect for Gygaxian values at all

lots of lawyers at all those places, pretending to be just as lawful

I mean "Lawful Neutral" on that chart should just be VoA. "Lawful Good" could be NPR. "Lawful Evil" - ehh, The Hill?

The Intercept is Chaotic Neutral if it even rates. "Red baiting is bad, even in 2016, when it doesn't even make sense! But you know who the real Russian sympathizer is? Hillary Clinton!" That's not what a Paladin sounds like.

Seriously every time I look at that I hate it more. It's so lazy and unconsidered

Ha that meme crap is funny, until types gotta show how 'well actually, breitborts would fall into lawful asshole cat,' because legal realism or something. Or that greenwald isn't lawful, he's quite crypto anarchist.

thats what i like about it (chaotic neutral voice)

What I meant by that is that what is funny about the meme is not the accuracy of the categorization, it's that there is a generation/demo group that processes/recognizes reality based on any TSR matrix.

HuffPo/BusinessInsider/Buzzfeed need their own clickbait row. All evil, though.

there is a generation/demo group that processes/recognizes reality based on any TSR matrix.

YEAH WE RUN SHIT NOW, SO WHAT? oh god what has happened the mind flayers this was all a cantrip by the elder mind

cant spell lawful without awful // cant spell chaotic without HAAAOOOOOOOOOO

@daveweigel
Peter Thiel, verbatim: "If you're a single-digit millionaire like Hulk Hogan, you have no effective access to our legal system."

The second most glaring aspect of that quote is...how has Hulk Hogan mismanaged his money so badly that he's only a single-digit millionaire?

lol Tombot A+

Like, the Iron Sheik is probably a single-digit millionaire and he never starred in a movie with Christopher Lloyd and Shelley Duvall.

HH has the same financial planning model I use, obviously

@RMac18
Gawker settled withHulk Hogan for $31 million, according to court documents.
