Dear new owners. You are very stupid assholes.

Goodbye Splinter. You were never as good as Gawker, but you came darn close sometimes.

Also, how fucking weird is it to see stories about the demise of Splinter and Deadspin on CNN?

They shouldn’t have written all those sports stories.

It was a deliberate decision b/c Spanfeller and Great Hill Partners serve the needs of the capitalist class. They are taking a financial loss on this particular group of sites to shut down a voice which could inspire others to ultimately organize towards their doom.

True words. I miss it daily.

Shutting down the only dedicated politics website in your portfolio right before the 2020 election, one of the most consequential of our lifetime, kicks into high gear. Essentially shutting down the second-most highly trafficked website in your portfolio because one out of every twenty five posts rankles you. I’m not…

Splinter was a damn good website.

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE WITH ALL THIS FAWNING OVER HOW WARREN HAS HANDLED THIS. IF IT HAD BEEN BERNIE’S CAMPAIGN?? YOU'D BE GOING CRAZY WITH RAGE... OMG. WHAT. A. JOKE.

Liz, why the fuck are you staffing your campaigns with refugees from the sinking ship that was the 2016 campaign

Her principles include faking Native American identity and fucking over the union her campaign staff organised, so her principles are a bit iffy...

This is literally the entire purpose of a primary. To pick each other apart to put the best candidate forward.

I love Hillary but she’s managed to justify her husband’s behavior to herself their entire relationship so she clearly has some industrial strength blinkers for this behavior.

I think it’s more like, “it never made me uncomfortable why is it making you uncomfortable?”

I’m shocked, shocked to find out an establishment democrat supports the establishment democrat despite the obvious flaws in his candidacy.
