i was just talking with @xsssy about what our world would look like today had the precedent “you can publish someone’s sex tape if they’ve ever talked about sex publicly” been set - i often lose site of this, the actual horrifying substance of the case

"she was wearing skimpy clothing"

imagine building an entire brand from hatefully dismantling the lives of people who couldn't defend themselves and then attempting to reframe this years later as serious, good-for-the-world journalism with a 'bad moment' or two sprinkled in

what is amazing to me is i think you have actually convinced yourself you're right

it is interesting to bring up justine sacco, the life of whom sam biddle, while working at valleywag, personally ruined. i don't hate gawker bc i don't know gawker well enough. i hate gawker bc i followed gawker daily.

ilu jeff but aj suffered a fuckton of consequences and has been changed by them in ways that are profoundly unfair, that were motivated not by anyone's sense of justice but unalloyed malice

stop

would love a public, in person debate on this. you game @micsolana?
