kinda more interested in the location of these pop-up stores that are the hipster version of Hooters, tbh
― l'battered savventura (haitch), Thursday, 14 June 2012 01:52 (eleven years ago) link
Yes, that did rather confuse me. I thought hooters was a cheap shitty franchise akin to TGIFs.

lol i am so fucking sick of "gifs for comment" kind of memes generally. Theres a few LJ communities that are unreadable now cos every second fricking post is a huge animated gif of Frodo rolling their eyes or some shit.

oh and rinehart to turn the whole thing into her own personal fucking megaphone

on the upside behind a paywall nobody will read it anyway

this is devastating tbh, not sure how I will be able to read republished mashable.com articles

good friend of mine writes for SMH, she's overseas on a holiday at the mo, fuck I hope she doesn't come back to a dole queue.

paywall and tabloid (or berliner) issues not a big deal* if they enable the continuation of a major non-Murdoch voice and reporting. Rinehart's storming of the board would make the existence of such a voice nigh-pointless, and makes me mildly creeped out at whoever the anonymous shareholders I'll never meet that rolled over for her last week are
*big picture; apart from major job losses, offsetting of priting costs for other companies, and worry for ppl I know who work for Fairfax

Yep, I agree. I would happily pay for a paywalled online news service that was trustworthy, full of professional journos and proper research and NO FUCKING COMMENT SECTIONS.

tabloid (or berliner)
'compact', apparently!

real thick and juicy
from the Age's article comments:I buy the Herald Sun and Oz on most days but have deleted them from my favourites list because I can't read them online anymore. I read The Age online and buy it sometimes but if goes behind a paywall it'll fall off my radar
This would go some way, perhaps, to explain the flood of righty trogs that have appeared all over the paper's comments in the last year or 2. "oh i cant read the paper I like anymore so I'll just read this one, and froth angrily when thry dont tell me the news the way I want to hear it raarghwrtgr"
― Pureed Moods (Trayce), Monday, 18 June 2012 03:49 (eleven years ago) link
oh god you're absolutely right
― Autumn Almanac, Monday, 18 June 2012 03:53 (eleven years ago) link
Yep Ive just read 2 or 3 more "I used to read HS but switched to Age when paywall went up" comments. Never occurred to me before (in fact I had no idea news.c.a had been paywalled! I dont read it).
― Pureed Moods (Trayce), Monday, 18 June 2012 04:03 (eleven years ago) link
it explains so very much

it's sad they're closing the printing press out near the airport. it's such a crazy-lookin' building!
― l'battered savventura (haitch), Monday, 18 June 2012 04:18 (eleven years ago) link
And so new! It cost millions to build, and theyre gonna close it in .. what, that'll be barely 10 years wont it? Such a waste. Fuckn.
Also, if theyre closing both plants where are the papers gonna be printed?

they're not getting rid of ppl RIGHT NOW, there'll be redunancies sought in the next couple months. then the knifings start, presumably.

A month or two ago a plumber fixed our blocked kitchen drain by dislodging a massive bolus of congealed fat which erupted all over the backyard. I refer to this blockage and its after-effects as the Gina Rinehart.
