Pulling up gawker.com a month ago got a very old dead page, then three weeks ago it was 401, and today it’s:
via a single line to some CSS and an image. wonder how much they pay their web master (anyone care to send an email to “hello@gawker.com”? naahhh)
oh, and for any other clueless folks, NME stands for New Musical Express, founded in 1952 (so how ‘new’ is that?)

It would be fitting justice if, in the end, the domain served up a single page with a message to this effect:
Peter Thiel is a gay man. Despite what he thinks, everyone knows and has for decades, no-one cares, and it’s no cause for shame (and certainly not for spending millions of dollars to shut down a site that says so).
What is cause for shame is being a thin-skinned billionaire who promotes fascism. Peter Thiel is that too.
Thank you for visiting Gawker.com
