I’ll be honest; I don’t read her as a misanthrope, as that would require paying attention to other people. She’s said that she’s not anti-anything, but will argue whatever point she’s been given to argue, and I think that’s actually a fairly accurate and self-aware statement on her part. I think the only “ism” that…

I don’t really have “Donald Trump is president” moments anymore. I mean, I kind of do, but now they manifest themselves as “tens of millions of Americans supported and continue to support Donald Trump as president” moments.

So, seriously, I know we’re 10 months in but how often do the rest of you have one of those “Oh right, Donald Fucking Trump is the President of the United States” moments? It happens to me less often now but still, you know, once or twice a week. The guy they used to make fun of in Bloom County, the guy Ali G screwed…

I generally like Anna’s writing, but let’s not pretend she didn’t make one of the most egregious errors in the history of Gawker, tho. And then doubled down by being super obnoxious to people in the comments.

Agree to disagree. She is the one who continued to royally fuck up the UVA case after the fraternity put out all the details that would make it untrue (no event that night, no fall pledge class, nobody who worked in the acquatic center, etc.). She does good reporting when the facts match her wanted outcome and pretty…

I’m absolutely open to the possibility that Louis C.K. sexually harassed and/or abused women. Really, I have no dog in this fight one way or the other.

“The women rumored to have been victimized by Louis C.K. at the Aspen Comedy Festival have declined to talk publicly about their experiences.”

Oh it is so worse than that. Kirkman clarified that she was not alleging Louis CK masturbated in front of her almost immediately after Jezebel’s first go round. She’s said that clearly and consistently. She’s called out Jezebel by name for misreporting and misrepresenting her. Yet as evidenced above, Jezebel continues…

In this case, I think the issue is actually that Jen Kirkman is the only alleged primary source and she has explicitly said not only that she was not saying Louis CK had done this to her (multiple times and for a span of time). She has also consistently complained about Jezebel’s misleading reporting. Instead of ever…

Jez, I love you, but this horse seems confusingly beyond dead. I absolutely believe in believing the victims, but... Kirkman straight up said it’s not him two years ago, and specifically called out Jezebel for spreading these rumors:

Not true, at least for me. I’d be uncomfortable condemning anyone if the only evidence of wrongdoing was second and third-hand rumors, and if the supposed sources of those accusations started directly refuting them.

Kirkman said it wasn’t Louis CK, so how about we leave his equine corpse alone? These are rumors and rumors only without any substantiated evidence. This bad game of telephone is how details get distorted and people get careers ruined without good reason.

A.J. Dualerio would approve.

In an interview with the New York Times on September 11, Louis C.K. declined to discuss

This is getting boring and a little gross. It’s reminding me of the call for unedited photos of Lena Dunham – skeevy and not what I’d expect from this site.

Continuing to double down on this story when there is absolutely no evidence to support the allegations is irresponsible journalism. Until you guys get some sort of reliable evidence, you should really just keep your mouths shut.

Wow, doubling down on this crap even after Kirkman’s statements. Gawker never really died did it?

Yeah man, it’s fucking great that they’re awesome at posturing and terrible at fucking literally everything else because it’s not like we (including your ignorant ass) could all very easily be incinerated in nuclear war

Hopefully I’ll be able to remind myself that they were so tough when my face is melting off. Fuck…
