I gotta disagree. The flashiest, most memorable stuff from Thompson involves the clever insults and freak outs, but underneath all that, he was a damn fine journalist. You can see this more in Hell’s Angels and his pre-book reportage — I’m thinking of a piece he wrote on mid-century housing discrimination in Kentucky…

I mean you read his letters and it becomes abundantly clear he was on a downward trajectory even before Fear and Loathing made him a big deal.

This would have to either be embellished or depressing.

I honestly don’t remember having problems with the swipe system (other than confused tourists).

2000 is vintage?

But what does Skippy think about famous people?

I love how after all that the guy’s just like “It was pretty spicy, but I’ve had spicier.” Can no one slake his lust for spiciness?!

Gawker / gizmodo started the rumor, and their business model seems to be “get sued into bankruptcy,” which doesn’t make sense to me either but I’m not an MBA.

The AV Club is pretty soon going to learn about the Univision Cultures de Popular, LLC aversion to legal exposure.

I think Katie is the last true activist on a sinking ship. No topic can escape her politics and nobody as hardcore is left. Four years ago this was a totally different site. Politics ate it.

“But how was the film?”

does a Gawker article and putting words in Jen Kirkman’s mouth really equal “allegations”?

I’m beginning to think maybe the AV Club deserves the Kinja hell it has been damned to.
