Yeah, I always figured if you just ignore it and keep working hard, the boss would see through it. Thankfully, it worked out that way nearly every time.

Shit like this is not funny. Family Guy made a similar joke and it turned me against Seth MacFarland *forever.* Men like Donald Trump are not actually anomalies. He just happens to have a lot of cameras pointed in his direction and no filter.

I get it: the worst thing you can have is a vagina! Killer stuff.

“by claiming the company routinely published “thinly sourced, nasty articles that attacked and mocked people.”” Read more

There’s a lot written here and not much being said other than a weirdly hostile “stick to weighty sports issues but sports nonetheless” message.

And one of those commendable things he did was to sign legislation instructing the Smithsonian to start planning for this museum, and saying he believed it should be built on the national Mall.

It doesn’t have to be a part of it, but it *is* part of it.

Yeah, why would someone want to defend some other company’s lawsuits? It doesn’t make sense. My understanding of their take is, “you are welcome to make new messes, but we aren’t cleaning up your old ones.” I realize i just said what you said. Read more

So the six post basically boil down to “Univision’s condition for making this deal was that they don’t inherit someone else’s mess. But if we make our own mess going forward, we’ll fight it out.” Read more

Maybe I’m really baked right now (I am), but it seems like JK doesn’t understand that Univision bought them with the express position that they are dumping the liabilities (which is a fucking sweet deal). It isn’t a question of integrity or lack of integrity, it’s a question of whether keeping those posts up will… Read more

This is more proof that J.K. Trotter is a Nick Denton boot licker with ZERO journalistic integrity and the staff of Formerly Gawker Media is made up of privileged children who have never been made to face real world consequences. You never grew up after college where they made you believe that as long as you were… Read more
