Jia is taking over? ....Sigh.

So every writer I still liked is leaving and 2 of the subblogs I liked best are closing. Since they REFUSE to ungrey me on The Slot for some reason (me and many others who’d love to contribute more meaningfully it seems), not much is going to keep me coming back. I really dislike several of the newer writers. Sloppy

So Gawker will be mostly focused on the 2016 election, because God knows there’s not enough media coverage of that already, and Jezebel is going to be more celebrity focused? Something just exploded behind my eyes. Reading about politics on Gawker and Jez have historically been completely different experiences, not

Seriously, I read BCO and Millihelen regularly. Are they canceling those series? Those were some of the best series. I hope they aren’t changing the Jez mix too much. I love the current mix of serious news and vapid funny things. The news is more involved generally than buzzfeed with better commenters and the vapid

What the actual fuck?! What criteria was used for these layoffs? Page views? I read and love virtually all of Mark’s articles, and it looks like a lot of others here do, too. How is it fair that adorable, hilarious Mark gets the door and darling Jia - one of the rudest, most unprofessional Gawker Media staff members

Seriously. Behind Closed Ovens, Millihelen, and Mark Shrayber are always my top interests.

I love Adele, but these artists really have to get over this streaming thing. I pay for Spotify Premium services and consider it well worth the cost to have a huge music library available to me. It’s not that I’m not willing to pay for music. But the sheer volume of artists, genres and music available today makes it

funny how all the artists who dont want to be on spotify are ones I have zero desire to listen to on my spotify premium..or any format for that matter

The transition between the Charlie Sheen piece and the John Stamos interview made think that In Touch interviewed John Stamos about Charlie Sheen. And then the dating question made me go “whaaaat Uncle Jesse and Uncle Charlie dated?”

FHM, the men’s magazine that looks how Axe smells,

Cool story bro.

Alcohol probably more of a libido enhancer than this pill, and it’s worst side effect is unintentional fedora-wearer sex.

I’m gonna keep posting this every time there’s a “female viagra” story because it bugs me so much: this is an anti-viagra. Viagra makes the willing able, this stuff makes the able willing.

I love scallops. All scallops. Scalloped hems. Diver Scallops. Scalloped Potatoes. All the scallops.

WITHOUT QUESTION.

So women who are addicted deserve to be beaten? Go fuck yourself.

I’m not perfect but I don’t hit anyone, ever so I am a damn sight better than Charlie Sheen.

I don’t believe for one second he told everyone he had sex with about his HIV. I feel bad for anyone with this, however they got it. BUT once you knowingly transmit the disease to innocent women you are a piece of shit that belongs in jail and we know about this guys history of abuse.

OMG SAME! I thought that scene was mega-rapey. It reminded me of those old movies where a dude would like, forcefully kiss a woman who didn’t want it but after she’d be “seduced” into doing whatever. Blech.
