Gawker was killed to protect pedophiles
we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

Interesting piece, but I resent how Peter Thiel is represented in the Gawker saga.
Thiel didn't "emerge from the shadows" to magnanimously tell the NYT he funded Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker. He did it because my colleague and I exposed his involvement.

In retrospect maybe the Democrats should have put this in some ads after gawker published it in 2015

This is the reason Peter Thiel and his buddies killed Gawker. Writing about open secrets was the entire point of the website.
Kind of curious what other open secrets does every DC reporter just keep among themselves these days.
Kristi Noem husband’s cross-dressing was ‘open secret in DC’: report
While the ousted DHS secretary’s initial statement expressed shock, White House and Homeland Security officials had been gossiping about Bryon Noem’s alleged fetishes for months, according to a report

I miss Gawker
I would genuinely read the hell out of a compilation of the public statements (or lack thereof) of all the Harper's letter signers
I forget… are we supposed to be for or against students voicing ideas some people might find upsetting?

Tapping the "we already had this and it was called Gawker" sign
one thing about the genuinely liberal media is that it’s too focused on serious stuff. we need a media ecosystem that covers this the way Fox covers Sydney Sweeney ad hysteria
In case you didn't know, there's a bizarre panic on the Granola Nazi far-right about bluetooth devices causing cancer

i think peter thiel should have his fortune stripped on the way to prison and everyone who worked at gawker in 2014-16 should get $100 million

I'm bringing back gawker.
America desperately needs a national left wing tabloid. Between the mainstream media’s coziness with the right and the Democratic Party’s complicity/unwillingness to fight — we are in such a bad place.

I wrote this in the LA Times in 2015, the year before Peter Thiel succeeded in shuttering Gawker.
Our colleagues in the corporate press behaved not just shamefully but suicidally in failing to defend Gawker. Rude speech is the ramparts of a free press.

We are single-handedly rebuilding the Gawker network
Sometimes you can read @aftermath.site stories on Mothership, because we can do whatever we want, actually! A new one from @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social : www.mothership.blog/the-mod-that...
The mod that makes The Sims 4 sexy
Wicked Whims is nearly a decade old, and it's created a community around the way it opens up The Sims 4 for self expression — and kink.

if this just sounds like a version of what pre-hogan-lawsuit gawker was - this is why conservatives spent so much effort destroying gawker!
