So, Deadspin is now what Teh Ownership always wanted it be, yes? Populated by freelancers(*cough* scabs *cough*) who earn a pittance? In return for “visibility?” Yeah, I don’t support scabs. Fuck New Deadspin, I ain’t giving it a single click in the future...

Damn it all. A lot of the entities of the Gawkerverse have helped get me through some dark times over the last six years, and the fact that it could all be gone sooner than later is incredibly sad. I’ve loved and appreciated the many talented writers and commenters with whom I’ve connected over the past seven years.…
Probably the ad blocker, if you are running it. They are making it so that you can’t see any content unless you have ad blockers turned off. That and the site is fucking slow as shit waiting for all the shit to load, so there is that too.
STICK TO BARFING IN BAGS!!!!!!1!2!!!!!!2!!!1!!
I'm disappointed with lack of sports content. 🙁
Same! Jalopnik and especially Deadspin have/had writers so clever and engaging (not to mention willing to write about things outside their specific sphere as well) that I actually clicked on CAR and SPORTS articles. CARS and SPORTS. I mean, never in a million years . . . .
These fucking million dipshits won’t be happy…
Congratulations, Jim! I don’t like sports but I would read Deadspin. I don’t like cars but I would read Jalopnik. I’m not American, but I checked Splinter dozens of times a day.
So Deadspin’s fucked thanks to Jimmy’s inability to run a successful business. Deadspin has now had all its comments turned off and several staffers have very publicly quit after the firing yesterday.
Before the shitlords at G/O disabled the comments at Deadspin, many of us in the commentariat decided to show solidarity with the writers by changing our avatars to GMG Union.
And while you’re letting them know how you feel about these posts and auto-play videos, you could give them your thoughts on how they’re telling Deadspin not to publish articles that bring in the most traffic.
In case you didn’t get a chance to respond to the GO Media management about the direction of the sites yesterday because they are post-deleting cowards, here’s the email address you need.
What feels like decades ago, Trump talked about actively targeting the families of terrorists, and killing them. He probably sees the deaths of these kids as a big win.
Glad that I’m not banned YET for posting that memo shit. LOLOLOLOL
I just posted some screenshots of it. By the time I got to the article comments were already disabled and it seemed likely that the thing was coming down pretty soon. It was basically a note of solidarity from the Jezebel staff telling us that they hate the autoplay videos too and they hear our complaints about the…
Putting an animal in an enclosed space with Trump definitely constitutes animal abuse.
I know I’ll probably remain in the greys forever, but I just wanted to point out that the post addressing the autoplay videos is gone. Hopefully it gets reposted or addressed, that seems shady AF since they never delete posts here.
Sports of course.
My favorite was the clip where the crowd cheers the troops, boos the president and then cheers someone else over the course of about 30 seconds.
I think about the juxtaposition of our romantic love as we architect our opportunity cost of shared living. My dearest Jared, albeit, you are the flawless manikin to actualize the brand of my heart. I look forward to otherwise consolidating our togetherness for another centennial.
