What does the fact that Jack Daniels is not a bourbon have to do with my original comment? My personal take is that they are both awful if they are not a part of a cocktail. For straight drinking, my drink of choice in the broader pantheon of mass marketed whiskey is Crown. Ther are obviously higher-end choices that…

If by fan you mean that I find it slightly less awful to drink, then yes, consider me a fan.

I think Gawker has more than enough diversity to have met the “token” hire threshold.

You should use this photo of them instead. It is one of the worst photos I’ve ever seen of a couple in all my years of traversing the internet.

Rom-Coms are already gay, duh.

This is perfect!

I wasn’t trying to make the point that Gawker was diverse?

See, that’s what I kind of wondered. You really gotta encourage kids to get into the industry, and I’d bet that seeing companies like Google and Facebook participating at campuses might break down some of the hesitation that younger minority kids might have because the tech sector is just so blindingly white.

You do realize that Gawker is owned by Denton, and a few other close confederates, though Denton owns a controlling share?

The Board of Directors for a company majority owned by one guy?

What does “senior leadership” mean? Because “senior leadership” the way most people would interpret it would be basically two people. Craggs and Denton.

I’d have to figure only small ones. I think there are dynamics at the front end of the pipeline that probably make it hard to have a truly representative workforce, even if you take affirmative action-like steps. I can buy that it would be possible to have equal representation of male and female candidates. I’m not so…

Sofia then left the premiere and went home with Joe Manganiello. You lose, protesters!

The only way to drink hard liquor is warm and straight from the bottle.

Except, you know, people are drinking the bottled water. There’s plenty of reasons to have problems with bottled water production, but wasting water isn’t one of them, seeing as it gets used for human consumption, which is pretty near the top of the list of things we shouldn’t be trying to ration water usage for.

I’d say that having an RA teach you when you are 18 is defensible. But if you haven’t figured that out by the time you graduate from college or move out on your own if you didn’t go to college ...

Well, if your quest is for a morally pure flag, you’re probably never going to find one, so why don’t we just settle for the one that currently represents our country.

But mostly I just gaped at the screen, flabbergasted that he has no one in his life to tap him on the shoulder and let him know that his bro friends aren’t the only people on the planet.

I don’t feel like this means much of anything at all. Netflix offers millions of options for viewing at once, whereas those channels have one live option, alongside of a few dozen options if you include DVR.
