You need to make up a good story.

Deception, Revenge, Scandal....all full of unlikeable morally grey but fascinating characters. Trying to figure out what that says about the current climate.

Trust my rage

Worst track marks ever?

Rolled in a cactus?

I'm liking the wildlife theme, myself. Feral meth-head guinea pigs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Just when I thought weight watchers had finally entered the digital age, their etools are down in the first week of the year. Never change, worst site on the Internet!

worst site on the Internet!

The competition for that title is fierce.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You make that claim because you have little effort invested in the gawker software platform.

But hey, apparently a new version is in the offing: [link]

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Today I ate chia seeds. It was odd, but not unpleasant.

Are you intending to sprout comical hair?

because she'd steal it halfway to my mouth and that just wasn't on. (Especially barfed back up on the bed.)

Yeah, it's an epic cycle of This Is Not Better!

Deception, Revenge, Scandal....all full of unlikeable morally grey but fascinating characters. Trying to figure out what that says about the current climate.

That they should name their shows better so when I think I am watching Revenge, I don't accidentally get hooked on Scandal. Because that show hooked me fast and rather too well. It's a total soap opera, but I like it.

I PAY for the privilege of using a website whose essential function brings in millions of dollars of monthly fees and hasn't improved OR CHANGED in a decade. Gawker's decade has been a lot more sophisticated, protean and FREE.

I guess we'll see!

Chia seeds are a newish fad. Fiber. Omega-3 fatty acids. Calcium.

Gawker's decade has been a lot more sophisticated, protean and FREE

It is definitely free, and I can't compare feature set, but it's not sophisticated by many measures. It has more features than b.org, for instance, and serves a user base many many times larger than us, but it does so not just badly, but with a really clumsy software development lifecycle. It's stupendous what they wrap in a bow and declare good enough. I guess Gawker IT firings don't make news, but anywhere I worked, there'd have been a torrent of them by now.

I have no idea how protean applies in this scenario. It's a piece of software designed to make it difficult for any of the vocal users to do what they've said they want to do, and it does so badly. If he'd achieved his goals, at least that would just be a difference of opinions on what makes a good product. But Kinja doesn't do (still) bits of what it said on the box.
