This is reality TV I would watch.

Enjoy your terminal leave before you actually separate from mother army! One of the things we loved about the SF community in our family was that, at least when you’re stateside, if it was a 3-day weekend, that meant it was a 4-day weekend. Which was really more like 4 1/2 day weekend, because if Monday was a holiday,…

I’ve just gotten super lucky where this is concerned. I recently started working for a major biopharma company. All employees start by earning 3 weeks PTO, plus 9 floating holidays, and we have unlimited sick days. Also, management is very accommodating where flextime and working from home is concerned. It’s been…

Agree like crazy.
I kinda feel weird looking at Gawker sites at all right now... :/

Gah, you guys, I was trying to be all serious about this unbelievably nasty development, but now I kind of just want some Lucky Charms.

Would watch.

I feel ya. I joined last year, I think? I mostly didn’t touch it, but over the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to check it out and get used to it. You’ll get used to it! It’s a great way to at least figure out where your favorite recently-relieved-of-their-Gawker-post people can be found. :)

I’m sorry you have headaches like that and that painkillers don’t even work! I feel your pain, too. I’ve had occasional migraines since middle-teen years, but over the last two years, they’ve gotten so bad and so frequent - plus they last longer and are often bookended by sinus or cluster headaches, to boot. Add to…

Edited because you’re right about the amount; I was wrong.

You are my hero and this is disssguuuuussting. (also funny.)

Thank you! Was just coming to appreciate the prosecutor asking this of the doctor who was so eager to excuse the behavior that he invented a term to minimize the actions of this creepy, sandwich-loving yet sandwich-blaming pedophile.

Whenever I see old medical instruments, I’m (1) very grateful to be alive now instead of then and (2) convinced the people who came up with them were essentially walking nightmares.

GREAT JOB, Judge Pratt! Decent human beings everywhere appreciate the recognition that 5-12 years wasn’t sufficient for his crimes.

Kinda wish there was another place to find all my favorite kinja-ers, as well. At least as these writers scatter in the wind, they’re good and we’ll be able to find them somewhere else. (Brightish side?)

I KNOW, right?! It’s an amazingly tone-deaf action to take right after an article pointing out the lack of diversity at Gawker. I’ve got some other sites that I like, but I liked the mixture here - and the awesome commenters. Gonna miss that!

Exactly! I keep seeing this and just about sums it up: I guess I’m not the reader they want.

Are you following Dennis on Twitter? He posted something new about this week’s weather ...
I loved the Vane.

What kind of pie is funeral pie? I’m all for some good pie, and it is definitely in order after this sucktastic week.

I just found out that bit last night because I got really busy for a couple of days. I guess IO9 is folding into Gizmodo. And I’m with you.
There are still some Jez writers around that I like, but throughout the rest of Gawker media, everyone I really enjoyed is gone. I guess it’s time to look for another favorite…

I kinda feel like ... I can’t trust that it is really safe.
