I know this has been going around but just in case you want it, here is an invite to the Discord server (read: AOL-style chatroom haha) with a bunch of Kinja people in it. https://discord.gg/yTEzC2j

They killed it without any warning or send-off on purpose, to show that they not only didn’t respect or value Splinter, but that they had open contempt for its content and its staff.

The death of Splinter and Deadspin have really f’d me up; I still come here a few times a day, hoping one of the remaining sites will emerge with an interesting political voice. It’s becoming clear that that’s not going to happen. Aside from io9, I’m having a hard time finding much value on the network to speak of.

How Splinter and Deadspin were handled was atrocious, the having Splinter go dead and having no announcement whatsoever was shitty on the part of Spamfiller and Madman. They should have dropped in a post like this when they pulled the plug.

Here’s some logo ideas for the new G/O news platform.

I do the exact opposite; I stand up as soon as the plane takes off

Saying 8 years is more than enough for a TV in insane. Any TV that dies after 8 years is a shitty TV. 

That’s great- I don’t like any new capability they’ve given me.  If it would just play the video I ask it to play and not auto-preview or auto-play something I didn’t ask it to do I would be much happier.

I’m going to need some sources cited on this one. Are you Asian?

I know what you are saying. You are saying you are a racist piece of shit.

I really wish there was some sort of sports and politics combo to discuss this madness further! Or one take on it on the sports page, and another on the politics page!

All that for a fucking shoplifter.  Police have no idea what “proportional force” is.

Can these CO cops find an apt. on 87th ST in NYC?

The first rule of G/O Media comments is you don't comment about G/O Media comments.

I’ll second that.

The cluelessness of these stooges is just fucking baffling. They not only have no idea how the internet works on a business level, but also on a practical one.

Hey! Since Deadspin Kinja got killed altogether today, continue to post your fuck Spanfeller comments here if you feel so inclined...

People gleefully point out that the working class makes up most of the smokers out there, but they never spend even a fraction of the time spent brow-beating them on thinking about why they smoke in the first place.

Don’t worry he’s already walked it back and is blaming the media for misconstruing his statements “to advance a biased and political witch hunt against President Trump.”
