Well, after an incredible 1.5 years, BDG has decided it is done with Gawker 2.0. Can't say enough about how proud I am of the site and all the brilliant people who worked to create it, and what a staggering shame this is. I had an absolute blast, and I love you.

Episode 3 of The Last of Us was one of the most hauntingly beautiful, sad, profound, heartbreaking and memorable hours of TV I’ve ever seen. Murray Bartlett and Nick Offerman gave performances beyond words. And all of it to advance the storyline that Joel needed a car. Amazing.

Today, The Washington Post laid off 20 of our colleagues.
While 20 is much smaller than 200 — “a single digit percentage of the workforce,” as Publisher Fred Ryan indicated, that’s little consolation to those who lost their jobs today.
That number should be zero.
