i think it's sad that ppl think gawker is cool -- like the ppl who write for it seem like a mix of college student newspaper dorks that felt they were "edgier" than their peers but not extroverted enough to be sketch comedy dweebs

sarah this is a terrible post! i hate this reductive type of crap that presents itself as super knowing but is never that insightful and like 90% of the time its trying to find meaning in supposedly what kind of person someone was in high school? ew so gross its like a pick up artist routine except for edgy cynicism

― drash, Saturday, 21 February 2015 05:15 (nine years ago) link
its ironic (irony is still good btw) because gawker often falls into that reflexive cynicism that thinks it knows more about the world than it does

i feel like all these headlines characterizing harris as a producer is just the media reaching for the most traditionally "impressive" hollywood credential he had, dude was primarily known as a comedian and writer and part of the UCB crowd.
― bonkers candle ancestors (reddening), Saturday, 21 February 2015 08:22 (nine years ago) link
he was also both an "unfettered speech or die" kind of guy, and (as sarah silverman mentioned yesterday) someone who felt very deeply, which makes the "don't be negative in his obit" issue kind of tangled imo.
― bonkers candle ancestors (reddening), Saturday, 21 February 2015 08:35 (nine years ago) link
obvs the idea that u shdnt mention negative infos in a obit is silly and not reflected in the actual practice of obit writing

lol it's not "negative infos" it's "hey don't forget that we beefed with him"

Harris Wittels dissing beejoli shah on twitter isn't really something that should be in his obit, because no one fucking gives a shit other than people who work for gawker.
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 February 2015 09:01 (nine years ago) link
Maybe just let sploid handle obits from here on out.
Holy Crap! Harris Wittels is Dead! How the Hell Did This Happen? This Is Messing With My Brain.

I'm finding out now that harris wittels is actually his name and not something we call him for fun

i mean its not like were dealing with a head of state with a long list of accomplishments and scandals that need to be weighed for relevancy and importance maybe gawker just shdnt have written about him at all

i mean i can understand ppl being upset with the flippancy of that link but it also just represents the only coverage gawker ever gave the guy and doesnt ultimately warrant the strong negative reactions itt, which are really the only interesting thing about this conversation

His jokes were so weird, unexpected, often brilliantly dumb that they were in that ultra-exclusive club of ones that made comedy people laugh — and laugh hard.

“One time I said to a guy that, ‘I loved learning new things. I’m a bit of an infomaniac.’ And he thought I said NYMPHOMANIAC….so he fucked me. And I said ‘No, no no…I said INFO. I’m an INFOmaniac’ And he said ‘Well, here’s some info…you just got fucked. Clean yourself up.’”

Hmm, maybe he wasn't the comedy genius nobody in this thread claimed he was and it's not sad at all that he died at 30 years old, good point
