Yeah I bet he doesn’t understand that the movie is about guillotining people like him.

This particular story about the Joker is a neat reminder about how many people really wanted to hate the Joker and were really disappointed not everyone felt the same way.

I’m a Black woman, so back the fuck up. Check my comment history if you doubt it (Howard University class of ‘08, I teach Black history now). And I’ve done a lot of anti-racist work where white people who do that work played critical roles-so I get mad when this particular woman, who was a radical and sacrificed…

This conversation makes sense to me when talking about like the Green Book but why are y’all coming after a white lady who gave money to the Black Panthers when they needed it and was herself a victim of COINTEL-PRO? It didn’t tangentially affect her, she was directly targeted. I get the general frustration at a…

Seberg was directly targeted by the FBI and stalked, threatened and harassed due to her support of the Black Panther Party. She was the victim of a deeply racist smear campaign. I agree that there should be more films and more widespread recognition on what happened to the Black Panther Party and those important…

Too far left? Only if you’ve never heard of The Overton Window.

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.

I’m even more amazed that comments are allowed.

The site’s archive is still available if you have a specific article that comes to mind.

Nikki Haley actually said “The people” should decide Trump’s fate, not a bunch of congressmen. Ignoring the fact that congressmen are elected by the people and responsibility for impeachment is in their goddamn job description.

This.

What does “too far left” mean? Are you saying it was to the left of your personal politics? Why should the writing staff align their politics with yours? I’m not asking to attack you. I just find it strange when people make comments like this about a site that is unapologetic about its motivations and vision.

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 loved Splinter / Deadspin because...

Splinter was good. Gawker was good. Deadspin was good, when it wasn’t sticking to sports.

I for one am amazed this post was allowed 

Splinter dies and this world becomes a little less enjoyable.

True words. I miss it daily.
