Ziff-Davis looks like it wants Jezebel and Gizmodo (and why not LifeHacker, Deadspin, etc.) but has no real interest in keeping Gawker itself. I think that would be a smart move. (Also, giving IO9 its independence from Gizmodo again would be great.)

Of course he can. And people can make jokes about it, and let his choices affect how they view him.

I think it's a little creepy to be happy for anyone because they're dating young people

Vermonters generally are happy with Sanders, but that’s an average and Vermont is a small state. A few big donors can skew it pretty easily. The % of Vermonters who donated would be more indicative of a happy constituency.

“making her the first self-made female billionaire”? Oprah (of Oprah fame) and Doris Fisher (GAP founder) were billionaire looooong before Elizabeth Holmes. I think you meant “youngest.”

Tuck them into your bra, in memory of the late, great Cute Overload and its category, Cats ‘N Racks.

Just play and cuddle with them. Touch their feet to get them used to that. Don’t use your hands as toys; hands are for cuddles, toys are for playing. It’s cute when a tiny kitten wrestles your hand, but not so cute when it’s a 12 lbs adult with stiletto claws ripping you to shreds, because they learned that hands are…

I had a rescue litter of puppies and OMG it was fun, but it was so much work! The hardest part is keeping everything tidy. It was an amazing experience. You’ll do great. Have fun!

I am going to take in and socialize some stay kittens. I work from home and have the time. They are weaned and we are going to spay mom. Anybody done this before and have tips?

I will jump in and try and preemptively balance the trolls by saying you are absolutely right.

If, as you say, Clinton is really a moderate Republican, then her positions should be right in line with at least a portion of the Republican party. Because I totally remember how the Republicans are all about providing access to abortion, raising the minimum wage, implementing gun control, and preventing climate…

“Hillary Clinton (who is imperfect and corruptible but an competent and experienced center-left public servant)...”

That’s so dope of her!

Going with my awe inspiring gut, I’d bet men are more likely to engage in downvoting shit they don’t like because they’re more likely to believe that the world should care what their opinion is.

“I had a girlfriend in college with whom I had an arrangement that I would sit through Sex and the City and Grey’s Anatomy with her if she would not ask me questions or to explain what was happening during LOST”

[awkwardly raises hand]

This is a reasonable and correct take and has no place in Kinja.

I’m fine with Bernie staying in the race to accumulate votes and show Democrats that there is broad, national support for a progressive agenda. I am not alright with him staying in the race in a desperate bid to win.
