Yes, I miss Gawker so much. Good talking with you! Stay safe!
Now you made me go look things up. I was definitely already well-established when IO9 started up in 2008 And I was around when Ana Marie Cox was the original Wonkette (back when it was a Gawker blog) which was much much earlier than that… That might have been under a different username, but I started using this one…
I pop in from time to time and try not to count how many years it’s been!
I thought about Brittany later after commenting and I think the delay was because I am STILL as heartbroken by her death as I was when it happened so. Yes. Definitely.
No one wants a Clueless reunion, because they’d have to invite Stacy Dash.
Boy Mama is the DUMBEST influencer branding I’ve ever seen.
The nonprofit news org Block Club Chicago (founded by former DNAInfo staffers) has all of its coronavirus content outside of its paywall (though it’s paywall is well worth it if you’re anywhere in the Chicago area)
Nothing you’re saying arguing against this particular situation is relevant to what I’m saying. I don’t have beliefs (???) about this situation; I have opinions that I stated and I only said what I said. You’re throwing in a lot of padding about what you think I might mean or feeeel or believe or have emotions about be…
Gosh, I don’t know what a writer being deserving is either since I said that BOOKS don’t deserve to be published* (JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE WROTE THEM OH WAIT WERE THERE MORE WORDS TO THAT THOT OMG it’s like you ignored them to fit your argument which can’t be right because you are too good an arguer for that kind of…

Well, that’s not really something anyone can know, but that’s also not my point. I’m saying that the calculus being performed here is that “in order for people to enable me to do X, I should do Y.” For Weinstein, the added benefit of power and money and praise and awards only furthered his other agenda. Accumulating a…
First of all, yikes. Second of all, they are doing all of the “good” stuff because they know they need the cover. Just because they’re justifying things to themselves does not mean they don’t know that they have to lie and cover-up and establish patterns of positive behavior in order to get away with the evil stuff…
That was not clear from your phrasing
Yes, but guys like him do the “good“ stuff as cover for all of the bad stuff they do. It’s like abusive husbands who are just such great guys and always performing being charming and being a great husband and father in public. The point is to make it so that no one believes the bad stories or if they believe them,…
I goofed. I said I goofed. I in no way was implying the exact inverse of what I said to somehow uniquely target Kansas City as a hick/bigoted city??? WTF?
The one time I was there, I drove so far to get to KC I thought I must’ve left the region so My Bad.
Uhm.... always?
Atlanta and Kansas City are in the Midwest?
