I’ve been trying for months to get ungreyed on Giz and Jez and it’s just never panned out for me. Plus I’ve been THIRSTING for a “gawker” replacement - news and stories that don’t fit the specific demos of Gizmodo Media Group blogs (Women, Tech, Sports, Cars, etc).

I’ve been planting my flag in Jezebel, and it seems post-Gawker to be catering a little more to us riff-raff, but I wonder if they feel that the likes of me are ‘barbarians at the gate.’ I would be interested in a Gawker 2.0 even if they didn’t call it that by name.

Right now, this is what the world looks like to Samer.

“if your model of events assumes a fourteen-year-old nerd is secretly a master criminal capable of manipulating all of his teachers, law enforcement first responders, and the national media, rather than that a fourteen-year-old-nerd is just really bad at reading social cues, your model of events is garbage.”

Sounds like a section soliciting and curating amateur pornographers to submit their own videos. Possibly with a revenue sharing scheme of some kind.

Why did it take you 40 minutes to walk a mile?

That’s definitely a big problem. The one I faced a lot was always smartphones.

There’s also the problem of food deserts- that is, areas where getting inexpensive, nutritional food is basically impossible (generally this is urban areas with low incomes).

I suspect Lynx might be referring to Rowling’s pseudonym of Robert Galbraith.

I thought this was Beejoli Shah’s beat, as I still dont’ really understad who this Finke braud is.

Just gonna leave this here...
