I guess we could take it over and give it to TechRaptor or something...

There you go. If you Gamergate kids hadn't spent all your money on adopting narwhals and otters and manticores, you'd have enough to buy Kotaku. See what your mother was trying to teach you when you spent all your birthday money at the drugstore instead of saving it? Do you even play with your narwhal these days?

Who in the hell are you responding to? Look up the "quote" function for apparently the first time in 18 years on this forum.

I like the manticore reference though, solid post Joph. And **** the mother of who you were responding to.

My mother once was ill and sent me out for supplies including a tube of Preperation H which I was too embarrassed to buy so shoplifted it from that Walgreens (or whatever that drug store was called down by the corner). And in my better and other only shoplifting experience at the same Walgreens I opened my backpack and just shoved two boxes of Score baseball cards in. My friend was initially aghast and trying to stop me at the time, yet later while we opened packs at the nearby Rax whilst eating roast beef sandwiches I think he dismissed such immorality. After he pulled a sweet Fred McGriff from his share of the booty.

He is now a rich white lawyer. Let's see who shoplifts what now, "friend".

And good point on MRA drugstore purchases or uh, that. I was blowing dudes at five years old just to be able to buy ****** off-rack socks and ***** kits and eye drops at the drug store just to be able to be an MRA decades later.

Drug store shoplifting was the scene in the 70s/80s 8-year old misogyny. Gamergate as FUCK.

Heh, so enema (*****) is a blacklisted asterix word too. Alla sure has some weird censorships. Pretty steady otherwise. A fine site indeed.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Jophiel, for your naked, brash intransigence (for not quoting posts). Madman. LIbertarian usurper.

Not 100% sure, but I believe Jophiel was giving me shit about a couple Gamergate fundraisers I participated in. For the record, it was a sea lion, not a narwhal.

It's not all about you, crazy person.

Not you, so don't worry yourself about it.

In standard conversation format, I was responding to the last person to speak. In this case, Poldaran.

L'Gamergate c'est toi.

Actually though a bunch of people called it that, as you can verify by googling.

I tried a number of different search terms and only found one, and he was joking. It is possible that I may just be awful at googling, but I would think "Op Sealion Gamergate", "Op Sea Lion Gamergate", "Op Sea-Lion Gamergate" and iterations using "Operation" instead of "Op" would have turned up something.

Yeah, that's not how you search for a phrase. Second result.

Now if you want a real search challenge, try digging up Timelord's personal data. It was a real learning experience for me.

Sorry Joph. And sorry Poldaran. Sorry to everyone I gave offense to. I type some really dumb **** when drunk.

Not that Jezebel is dumb. It's instead crucial. I hate all of you.

Gawker is dead as of next week, other sites TBD.

Gawker.com to End Operations Next Week wrote:
After nearly fourteen years of operation, Gawker.com will be shutting down next week. The decision to close Gawker comes days after Univision successfully bid $135 million for Gawker Media’s six other websites, and four months after the Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel revealed his clandestine legal campaign against the company.

Nick Denton, the company’s outgoing CEO, informed current staffers of the site’s fate on Thursday afternoon, just hours before a bankruptcy court in Manhattan will decide whether to approve Univision’s bid for Gawker Media’s other assets. Staffers will soon be assigned to other editorial roles, either at one of the other six sites or elsewhere within Univision. Near-term plans for Gawker.com’s coverage, as well as the site’s archives, have not yet been finalized.

What about my jezzerbelle forums?!!?

Most interesting thing I've learned from this whole story is that Univision owns The Onion.

Not as interesting as the guy who brought Power Rangers to the US owning Univision.

While I won't miss Gawker specifically, I'm sure the Internet will supply those writers and editors with a new outlet for their gay-outing and blackmail-abetting trite.

Heh, "Twitter feed" as though you don't read Breitbart regularly.

Unless I'm misreading that, it's not a very interesting story. GG initially got some advertisers to pull from Gawker, then GG looked like a bunch of asses, the advertisers said "Huh, those guys who wanted us to pull ads are a bunch of dicks" and went back to advertising on Gawker. So... yay for Gamergate and Breitbart's GG cheerleaders?

Only when someone posts an interesting sounding article onto Twitter, which is less frequently now that Milo's been permabanned, though still enough that I see an article or two a week. When I try to browse them myself, I end up getting bored. Honestly, most of my news comes from an assortment of Bernie Bros(Secular Talk), sperglords(too many to name) and randos on Youtube.
