Man, fuck Gawker. All my favorite blogs are going away. I’m just happy to hear you’ve got a plan. BCO is the highlight of my week.

I appreciate hearing that, but it’ll be OK. Trust me. Keep an eye out here and on my Twitter. There should be news soon.

Yeah, I get wanting to refine focus, but shutting down what seems to be a universally loved sub-site just because? Silliness. I’m hoping it just gets unshackled from Gawker and continues to exist elsewhere.

No more Kitchenette?!?!

What sort of lobstromonous horseshittery is this?

What? KITCHENETTE??

And “Jezebel will be hiring an editor to launch a new health, beauty, and self-care subsite”.. fuck this shit.

WHAT THE FUUUUUCK KITCHENETTE?!

i am so upset about bco

women be gosspin’

Yup, they’re getting rid of the things that actually make the site different from others to do coverage that a hundred other sites are also doing.

I know, I’m rather worried. I like The Slot, and the hard news affecting women angle on Jez’s main blog. I also like the lighter fare as well, don’t get me wrong, but don’t see why it has to be mutually exclusive.

BEHIND CLOSED OVENS IS MY EVERYTHING.

Agreed! Whoever is lucky enough to get Pinkham (as with so many former Gawker staff) has a built-in following to add to their existing readership. There are a few I’ve followed since they’ve left, and I’ll be trotting along behind Pinkham wanting BCO scraps, too!
I’m with you - these are the biggest reasons I check in…

HOW DOES 500 DAYS OF KRISTIN STILL EXIST? JUST PUT IT OUT OF IT’S MISERY ALREADY.

If they take away my Monday morning BCO, I will beat someone with my monogrammed thermos.

WHST THE MOTHER FUCK???!! NO MORE KITCHENETTE??!! NO MORE BCO????!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I’ll follow BCO wherever it goes, hopefully Pinkham starts a blog just for it.

KITCHENETTE?!!! Noo... Doesn’t everyone love BCO? Unaccebtabru, on almost all counts. Also, I really kinda love The Vane. Thought all of these were pretty popular... Sorry to see them all go but wish them the best in new adventures. <3

Gawker Media HQ are dumbasses. These idiots have to realize that being a sassy gossip blog is their bread and butter. They’re not going to be invited to the adults’ table by trying to look more grown-up when they’ve made their bones snarking on coked-out mayors, imaginary girlfriends, and washed up wreslers’ sex…
