Better to die in the greys than live with one's knees on the dictionary, thesaurus, etc.

I agree. About the posts. It's the accumulation of awfulness that is grating. And I don't just lay it on the doorstep of the authors; especially for their first posts, someone should edit them. It's not like the "editors" here are out scraping for new news about Boko Haram or Charlie Hebdo or something, they could…

Yes. Hence the use of the word "y'all."

Yeah, well this is not a good first impression. I know you post a lot and try hard to create a sense of community. But journalism is a job. It's the writers' responsibility to at least be correct and not blatantly offensive. If Emma Carmichael can't hire people who can express themselves properly in the hosting…

Well, for one thing, it's really too bad Denton isn't subject to something like the old ABC (Audit Bureau Circulation) disclosures newspapers used to have to make public to their advertisers in order to allow them to assess the demographics of who was reading the product. I highly suspect GM's readership skews much…

Wow, y'all are really making a splash with these inaugural posts. The body horror about the triplets, the crazy incoherent vanilla extract post, and now this nice little bit of hateful ageism in what is essentially a bogus news story crafted specifically to allow nasty comments about non-Millennials:

I don't know. It didn't stop William Styron or Dorothy Parker from knocking out some pretty good prose...

It's early morning where I am but I think I am going to have to "get a drunk" myself.

Most creative elaboration on the English language yet...

She is not a "woman of color." Robert Kardashian's family was Armenian, you know, near the Caucasus mountains? Where the word caucasian comes from? And her mom's Kris Jenner. Can't get much whiter than that. I'm a caucasian German and I have very similar colouring to Kim K. The problem is that she's a fur hag. The…

Here is a link to a research report from the European Group for Animals presented recently to the European Parliament about what happens to animals on fur farms, including fox and mink. And this is in Europe, where fur farming is somewhat regulated.

I wasn't suggesting that the OP, moose_truther, was begging to be ungreyed and she seems not to have taken in that way. You cannot deny that people have begged, in a suck-uppy way, to be recognised in this manner (and that is has worked) since the new commenting system began and as MT further comments, the repetitive…

That is a relatively recent and unfortunate development in the Gawker comments section, and here, owing partially to the architecture of Kinja but also to the increasing immaturity of the staffs at both flagships, who treat the comments section as a kind of self-affirming cabal instead of, you know, a comments section…

Far be it for me to judge how you want your $500.

...turns out he's a major programmer for Bethesda.

I'll find you. :)

If only we had DM on the terrible new Kinja platform!

Ahh! Meine Zimmernachbarin ist in Rumänien geboren. ...

Residents of Moldova may travel, and work, visa-free in the Schengen zone. And participate in Eurovision.

I wonder if anything happened anywhere else. Maybe the Midwest but not Chicago. Pennsylvania but not Philadelphia. Pittsburgh? Yeah, the Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh. I wonder if there's anything online about it.
