Hell yeah I remember Ashley!! She broke the Ashley Madison story on the child molestar Duggar guy. And she found Comey’s personal secret twitter account! I used to hope she’d become editor of a new site in the spirit of Gawker called Fawker.

In all my years of social media use, I never said anything negative to anyone. That changed when I saw Paul Maidement’s smug ass statement on Twitter. It felt good to tell him to fuck off. DEADSPIN FOREVER

Ahhh, you beat me to it. I was going to suggest a pineapple, but I like yours better!

Nicotine creates and reinforces the addiction; menthol was originally added to reduce the discomfort that first time smokers suffer before they are addicted; that choking cough that ordinarily tells people that it is poison. It’s like candy flavored malt beverages that eventually gives way to people drinking Everclear…

To suggest menthol somehow makes Black people or anyone smoke more is a big stretch when we know its the nicotine. Besides, according to the CDC, Natives smoke more than anyone (24%). That’s like trying to ban basil for making people addicted to Ragu when the secret ingredient is really cocaine.

Don’t insult vultures. They server an important purpose in the ecosystem. 

Thank Yesha. She’s the one who made me black here.

They just took down down DeadspinRIP and SplinterRIP too from the looks of it.

Fuck Jim Spanfeller.

Death knell. I’m a lurker too, but I consider the comments as crucial to the experience as I do the articles. The Gawker Media universe has been so crucial to helping me develop new perspectives on social justice issues. I was raised in a southern culture where women are seen, not heard, and I would not have the…

Private equity assholes.

There is one terrible monster...Jim Spanfeller. The best thing about Jim Spanfeller is that he hasn’t died yet, because that means that he is going to die!

Fuck Jim Spanfeller

You’d think it might even prompt Jez to mention that he is strong candidate for the democratic nomination. Nah, man about town. Cool.
Sorry, I’m feeling bitter today.

Bernie making it personal. I like this.

I almost started crying yesterday as I read about all the writers and editors and graphics folks leaving my favorite blog. How many lunches have I spent with these people over the last 8 years (answer: the majority)? I’m legit sad. Also, fuck Spanfeller and Maidment straight up the ass with a shovel.

All the garbage people have really been encouraged to let their asshole flags fly during this administration, haven’t they? 

Kiss my ass in perpetuity, MaidSpan. Deadspin forever. 

From one of our local weeklies here in Portland:

This is fucking awesome.
