Gawker Dating: I'm engaged to the Canadian lady I met on GT
Hey folks! Long time!
Ah fuck, are we gonna have to get ungrayed again!?
After this place gets raffled off, will they be purging the rolls again? Me hopes not! I don’t comment enough anymore to work back to black...
FFS, Get Rid of the Burner Accounts
Burner accounts are the not-even-half-baked solution to offering whistleblowers and other insiders a completely anonymous avenue to comment. That hasn’t happened yet - and presumably, anyone offering sensitive info would opt to contact Gawker through other means, like using the PGP keys that are listed for each…
Joe Morton delivers Papa Pope's take on the Confederate Flag
On last night’s The Nightly Show, actor Joe Morton was one of the panelists - he plays Papa Pope on Scandal, and at the end of the panel Larry Wilmore asked him what Papa Pope would have to say about the Confederate Flag.
Jessica Williams' rocks; Watch her"Helper Whitey" segment from TDS

White Fragility Hits Another Low: The #GoHomeDeray Hashtag
This afternoon I came across the trending Twitter hashtag “GoHomeDeray” - which (I believe?) peaked at #2 on Twitter at some point. For a variety of reasons, this has me absolutely shaking and seething.
I Finally Realized who Michelle Duggar Reminds me of!
With all apologies to Catherine O’Hara - and Sheila Albertson for that matter - this has been killing me and I finally put it together. From the awesome Christopher Guest film Waiting For Guffman, Michelle Duggar absolutely reminds me of O’Hara’s character, the sweet, but endearingly dim Sheila Albertson.

Learn From My Mistakes: Jeopardizing a Family-Friendship via Facebook
Editor’s Note: I sat down and wrote this post in one fell swoop, but made some editing choices: specifically to just tell the story, because I have not smoked in a while, and I am bonkers high right now. For everyone’s sake, I decided to cut to the chase, and leave you with the option of reading a short,…
John Waters was on last night's Real Time!!!
Well there’s an awesome coinkydink! After all the outpourings of John Waters love, I just logged onto HBO Go for my quasi-masochistic weekly viewing of Real Time and the first panelist is our beloved John Waters himself!
Good Celebrity Encounters!
So I don’t know how to Kinja well enough to do this, but I shared below a comment I made in the Jez thread for worst celebrity encounters. I didn’t expect it, but tons of people chimed in with positive celebrity stories and encounters, and those make me smile more than the shitty ones! I wish I could just prefix that…
What is the definition of a bender?
If you were to conclusively define a bender - as in specific requisites to achieve qualification as a bender - how would you define it?
I'm followed by the wrong newsfeed? And internet?
I'm followed by most of the Gawker sub-blogs (huzzah!) but just realized that I'm followed by newsfeed.kinja.com, instead of newsfeed.gawker.com, so I'm still very much in the greys. Samesies for internet.kinja.com and the sausage one too.
Did Goran Dragic cut himself shaving?
Real dick move, ESPN. You couldn't just find another picture? You deserve better, Goran.
Scariest Villains: Eugene Belford (a.k.a. The Plague)
The scariest villains are clowns and sometimes sharks, but you know what's even scarier? A hacker with a Gibson.
Hey Ladies, have you ever had a happy ending massage?
This is how I start most conversations, but this time I'm asking for a friend. Is this a real thing that has happened? To you or someone you know? A loved one or friend? Or just an entire genre of uninspired porn?
I Hate When They Spell My Name Wrong On the Cup At the IVF Clinic
So I was recently handed paperwork to permit the IVF clinic which my ex-girlfriend and I patronized to thaw and discard our two adorable frozen embryos. They are two years old, and alas, I knew hardly them, but that's for another time.
My Dog Wore It Better
Just found part of my dog's old Halloween costume - I know it's a little late for a joke about Pharrell's hat, but I'm still glad to finally understand what he was going for.
ClashTalk Fantasy Football Playoffs Update
I'll be sitting out round 1 of the playoffs with a bye.
