i don't care about this stupid post. my point was that i highly doubt it's produced out of institutional malice as much as it is systemic necessity.
i like how i'm being called the gawker chris crocker for suggesting that calling the ppl who run it "sociopaths" might be a little OTT

I agree with croup on this one, but it is also true that I will die clutching a crucifix, whispering croup posts into Jesus' right cubital fossa.

the weird thing about that joke is the only Jace I've ever heard of is Jace Clayton, but that probably just means I'm old

reading that reddit thread was interesting to you?

More interesting than Gawker, sure
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Friday, 17 April 2015 00:52 (nine years ago) link
feel like gawker's raison d'etre was to make tabloid/trashy style journalism go down smooth with a hint of overeducated "can you believe how im wasting my master's degree?" kind of irony, but they've been aggressively unfunny lately. turn it around, gawker dudes.
