It’s hardly a “cesspit” compared to your average comments section of a news site. There are some great and useful threads and boards there as Reddit did crack down on the racists, misogynists, and etc and is a lot more nicer now than say, the WSJ’s or the NY Time’s comment board which has become boomer dog whistle…

It’s still their most popular show. This isn’t two decades ago, this is 2019 and GOT, unfortunately, had high viewership and critical acclaim.

Yeah but he did a thing wrong one time so he’s pretty much the worst person ever.

Bitter.

So waste a dozen eggs and some frosting? 

Don’t forget to tie it to sports in some way otherwise you get fired.

Feel kinda bad that they’re going to have to put you down when everyone leaves here. :/

Wearing a John Rocker jersey is the same as wearing a MAGA hat.

As a small business owner that serves food I can confidently say I don’t give a rats ass what any rando thinks of my customers.  I’d serve ice water in hell if the devil paid the delivery fee.

I mean, that was kinda my point. They keep throwing the CBA out there and even make public the exact wording claiming “THEY BROKE THE CBA!” when there’s a very obvious and easy to understand caveat to it that they used. I have a hard time believing a private equity firm was just going to surrender any and all control…

“pioneers in law enforcement, guardians of intellectual properties.”

Barry tweeted the editorial independence clause thinking it was some trump card, but he blew up his own spot. Anything can be deleted with a majority vote between the CEO, Executive Editor, and General Counsel - obviously the CEO and General Counsel will vote in lock step, which makes the point moot.

Or you could just ask me about it and listen to me talk for 7 hours.

It’s sounds like an impotent man trying, for hours, to masturbate, with a prosthetic claw, while desperately trying to convince himself it’s not a uselessly pathetic exercise in futility but a life-changing erotic adventure.

the best comment section outside of Deadspin used to be AVClub...

“Hey, we could either have this thing quietly make us money for years with basically no effort, OR we can break the employees, make readers abandon the place, and then sell it for pennies of the dollar against what it could actually potentially be worth...hmmm, let’s do the second thing!”

I sort of get why Morris would focus on Bannon as a subject. Why anyone would “seek to understand” this aggressively malignant cancer in the colon of America is beyond me, though. Would you ask a Stage 4 tumor why it insists on destroying healthy tissue?

Well, shit. I’m going to miss this place. It’s a good group of writers and commenters and I don’t have the desire or energy to seek out someplace similar online. I guess I’ll just start doing my actual job instead of spending so much time on here...

Coinflip on whether they turn the lights out before it hits or not.

Just wishing all of you the best. This situation sucks, your management sucks even worse, and I hope all the staff makes it through to the other side at a place where you’re actually appreciated.
