I’ve enjoyed Kumail both before and after he started getting movie work, and I really enjoyed him and Emily’s writing for The Big Sick.

Like all long-time Gawker readers, I mourn the days when Gawker Media was about unbiased truth, stolen phones, hacking monitors at CES, Hulk Hogan’s giant racist penis, and shitting on teenage white girls who go to prom in a hearse.

everything on kinja looks the same, so “yes”

it would be considered bigoted, and would be bigoted (or biased/prejudiced), to assume that they have no agency and should live the way you live.

Have you seen the movie? The premise I’m reading is some parents who are clearly depicted as creepy and weird hire someone who is extremely desperate to do something creepy and weird.

I gotta’ say as someone who believes in solidarity with my co-workers I have to applaud how hard G/O’s staff is willing to go to back one another. I mean first writing more articles in a few days condemning words than you have in a year condemning literal physical violence precipitating those words. I mean that was…

How many words do you type up in response to being trolled by a fake TV show before you start to feel like a complete dickhead who should ask for their tuition to be refunded?

Man he really nailed it when he called his special “selective outrage’.

There are absolutely large groups vocally supporting Smith or at least condemning Rock.

this is going to sound crazy but I really think it’s just a matter of Gawker relies so heavily on media connections/PR agencies, and handlers and standup comics almost never have those but other entertainers do. And comics deliberately try to avoid becoming sympathetic figures while other entertainers live and eat off…

Does everyone a Gawker just have hopes to become a PR flack someday or just live in fear of whoever represents the Smiths or the Windsor-Markles will cut off all their other clients from talking to you in the future?

Meghan Markle/Harry Windsor: If you have multiple people doing dumb or bad shit attributing blame to all parties isn’t the same as “landing on one being at fault” just because that is the last party you mentioned. You MAY conclude that, but just in a comed sense you don’t open by blaming the party mostly thought of as…

Do you mean shady as in casting shade or shady as in “wow dude not cool”? Because if the audience vibed with it then the product is valid.

they should have given it to Taika Waititi to direct.

I am a parent. All the the grossest cleanups in my cars have related to this.

I would wonder if crime in the totality of the city is the right metric. If said crime isn’t in the financial district or wherever financiers live when not financing then the total numbers could be irrelevant. Chicago may hove not done as effective a job of shoving all the crime into tiny corners of poverty.

I’ll bet…

Jez published like a dozen articles either partially or fully dedicated to dragging Mulaney. Which, fair enough, it is in fact shitty to quick ditch someone who seems to have stood by you during multiple relapse/recovery cycles.

I cannot believe you’re telling people to watch this. I mean unless you’re assuming they are going to pirate it you’re being pretty unchill. The movie is dogshit. Majors is very much awesome and in fact he’s so awesome with his perfect ability to convey the weight of his sadness that it just makes how shit the movie…

How much money did Hilton’s people throw around to result in me reading literally 5 different (some overlapping) pieces on her since I got up an hour ago?

I’m curious about the circumstances surrounding white/Anglo men in the U.S. who exclusively date Asian women because ‘no one else will date them’.
