Gawker alumni are crowdfunding to outbid Peter Thiel for control of Gawker's assets

Hey, that’s an important one. I’m sorry, I should have put that on the list - I’ve worked local before, and still do the occasional column or article for the locals at a cut price, I shoiuld know that it was a little unfair of me to just focus on the big news. Local news is just as, if not often more important to folk than big, national news - after all, Harvey Weinstien going down is a headline, and a fucking good thing, but it’s your local mayor going down that will have a direct impact on a lot of people’s lives.

And Dave McKenna did a lot of great reporting there, it was a fantastic series. And thank you for reminding me.
