If anyone knows why journalists like to interview journalists, I’d be interested in hearing your hypothesis. In any event, I answered some questions for PurePolitics.com about Gawker. It’s up now.
Also? This is definitely a picture of me in college at Alpha Delta’s Supertails Halloween party. We were dressed as the Pink Ladies from Grease. Just thought I’d get that out there. LOVE the immutability of the Internets. LOVE it.

Thanks, Mark Zuckerberg. You just made me confirm to you that I am a global devastation snubbing first-worlder.
“It’s important for people to be good to each other,” you told Forbes yesterday.
Which made me wonder just how much of your estimated $1.5 billion net worth YOU are devoting to slowing down the general deterioration of humanity? Hmmm? MARK? Prick.

You wanna be Facebook friends? For reals?
Hmm. Hang on just one sec, mmmkay? My clueless-about-the-media-scene, wet-behind-the-ears, idiotic, intemperate, insulting, overtly hostile white donkey self needs just a wee momentito to consider. [The Pranay Principles]

You know what would be great? If someone older and wiser could fill me in on how to make it not suck as much when someone older and wiser whom you trust out-and-out fucks you. Because that? That would be some valuable information, kids, after the fantasterrifical day I’ve had. A sage word or two on even partial penetration? Indeed, also welcome! The suggestion box is open and forgive the mouth on me if you would—shit happens.

“A guy I am friendly with who used to work for Gawker, Jon, came up behind me, ‘Do you want to meet Emily Gould?’” [NYMag]
Dear God.
Also? I will need a utility bill from Bumblefuck, NH, with Jessica Roy’s name and address on it to prove that the disillusioned-before-her-time writerish person has indeed left New York City. Like she’s going anywhere now. Pshht.
