To be fair, The Onion layout is old as fuck and could actually benefit from a new CMS, particularly since it doesn't have comments for Kinja to fuck up.

Beyond the whole Kinja sucks thing, I can also add as a person who has participated in numerous web launches that scheduling a launch of this magnitude during peak traffic hours instead of in the middle of the night is going to be a complete clusterfuck. It's like you're purposefully sabotaging yourselves.

The last time Juggalos encountered Nazis went very poorly for Tila Tequila.

Before anyone gives any credit to GoDaddy, please keep in mind that its founder and largest shareholder Bob Parsons is a lifelong Republican, an early supporter of Trump, and a big-game hunter who slaughters African elephants.

Yes, yes, that's all very sensible. But there's still an argument to be made that Netflix billed itself as the anti-TV and a place where creators could tell unique stories, but it pulled the plug on those shows just as soon as it realized the numbers weren't strong. It's particularly galling that both those shows, as…

That worked out great for The Wachowskis and Baz Luhrmann, but good luck Shonda!

He is far too pretty to die, and if GoT doesn't at least get him shirtless before he meets the Stranger it will be a waste.

Symbols is a gawdawful album that cemented KMFDM's slide into a nostalgia act with no new ideas. And Lard is a second-rate Jourgensen/Biafra vanity project.

Not-John-Krasinski is the most apt description of Teddy.

The very nature of "alternative rock" was that it was distinctly different, and thus better, than mainstream rock. So calling 1 band pretentious is rather myopic.

I like Throwing Copper too, but it suffered from being overplayed and lyrics that made a lot of people cringe ("her placenta falls to the floor"). Personally, I prefer that type of earnest, high school-level poetry over the shit that passes for most lyrics these days. At least the song is about something.

When you first post comments at a Kinja site, they are literally rendered in a light grey text and placed in a Pending area. So ultimately, no one reads them. In order to "get out of the greys" (a common expression in Kinja communities), you have to comment frequently and be clever enough to catch the attention of the…

The "greys" system of commenting at the Gizmodo sites creates a clique-ish community and is a big turn-off to anyone who can't refresh the site every few minutes and comment on every story. Some of us work (or at least pretend to).

It's popped up a lot in the news lately because of that breakthrough with gene editing human embryos.

I was the manager of a Mellow Mushroom in 1997, and we used to have pizza and pitcher specials on Thursday nights for Must See TV. We must have gone through so many kegs of Natural Light.

The best movie of 1997: Gattaca

I'm genuinely confused about why you think the members of the Furious Five (or any of the early hip-hop pioneers) are wealthy. They may have pioneered an art form, but they did not get rich from it.

This is Randy Rainbow's turf.

Reznor's interview today in Vulture provides a deeper insight into where's he at today. He also takes swipes at Drake, Niki Minaj, EDM, Ashton Kutcher, everyone on Twitter. Of course, he couches it all as, I'm an out of touch old guy, so what do I know. It's a solid read.

Weapon is pretty fucking awesome.
