Yeah that’s pretty wild for this community. A blip for the outside world at this point in 2023, but there was a time, over a decade ago, when Gawker Media’s comment section and commenters drew actual news coverage. When Google and Facebook first rooked Gawker’s revenues back when Denton owned it, the end was already…

Why? 20 years of history can’t make up for the fact that the level of traffic generated today probably didn’t add up to paying a unionized staff’s salary, benefits and retirement plan contributions.

“Abortion wins”

I think it’s funny that we had this conversation, in this thread, all where you were interacting with the one commenter in BA who seemed to be like the last die hard believer in Jezebel’s schtick, in the last week of Jezebel’s operations, all of which ended on the same day that Joe Manchin announced he’s stepping back…

I mean, it’s not like they shuttered it because so many people were reading Jezebel’s coverage of reproductive news issues.  In order to be essential you have to be prominent enough to keep the lights on ...

Well Jezebel hasn’t done Saturday night socials in some time.  Not in the union contract or the cards apparently.  

Welp.  Guess that’s curtains Jez.  Been an interesting ride for the last few decades .... I wonder how many folks remember names like MizJenkins and others who came before.

What if I think that Tlaib shouldn’t have been censured but also think that in your trolling you’ve touched on an accurate point which is that Rashida Tlaib primarily says what she says for her own benefit?

“Covenant Eyes” isn’t just seeing URL traffic, it’s a full blown net nanny with a constantly updated blacklist of websites so when people say it “monitors pr0n intake” it’s monitoring URL traffic that’s unlikely to be anything actually racy or interesting.  It’s unlikely that Johnson or his son are skilled enough to…

Harden, meanwhile, seems to like his odds playing alongside the Clippers’ Westbrook, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard.

It’s really not though.  The hard data tells the story.  Now they may be looking in bad areas, there are some parts of the country where structurally things are fucked, but job openings relative to job seekers are at their all time most favorable levels.

Employee benefits are on the chopping block heading into next year as the gaming retailer doubles-down on cost-cutting despite holding $1 billion in cash reserves thanks to its earlier meme stock explosion.

Sigh ...

Yeah not sure it’s discrimination but seems like a pretty strong hostile work environment case. To the tune of 12 million dollars?

Never really watched much Friends. I did enjoy Perry in the short lived “Go On” but the most memorable role of his for me will always be as a voice actor in Fallout:New Vegas.

So let me say that I totally agree that Taylor Swift currently has an unprecedented “grip” on global pop culture.

Drake hosted a pretty wild birthday party for a now-37-year-old man.

*crickets*

The thing is, if Israel were indiscriminately bombing civilian buildings, if they were really going full Dresden, they could pretty quickly turn Gaza into a fine powder consistent of concrete, rebar and the pre-bomb flyers they drop telling people to get out of the building.

No, I think not? The key to a successful marriage is to define it on terms that work for who you and your partner are. What the public sees is evidence of what that definition is. Some people do a fantastic job of hiding the fact that they are in loveless or highly dysfunctional marriages.
