It makes sense. The harsh truth is that potential buyers before the shut down probably were excited about the history of the brand but not so much about the financial profile created by the labor costs they would have had to absorb that would have mandated a fight with a union that has a reputation for being…

ut I had to make my own fun

You’re saying that like who to actually blame doesn’t matter.

Down at the crick poking zombies with a stick,

And now I’m daydreaming up a zombie apocalypse show that consists of Boyd Crowder and Raylan Givens exchanging zingers while offing zombies and managing to outwit or outdraw every villain who enters the story between them.

This comment brought to you by Vivaldi’s “In Spring” — when shoving a stick up your butt, arching your pinkie and scoffing at the nicks in your neighbors estate fence gilding as your chauffeur drives you from Boffington Manor to the Club at Windingham Heights for a round of squash in an ascot isn’t enough to signal…

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?
