According to reports on social media and a city official speaking on MSNBC, OneBlood, a local blood center in Orlando, temporarily lifted the ban on sexually-active gay men donating blood following the deadliest mass shooting in United States history. Those reports are false.

An MSNBC staff writer spoke with the father of Omar Mateen, the gunman who shot and killed at least 50 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando on Sunday.

Today in a press conference, police identified the man who killed approximately 50 people and injured at least 53 more at the Orlando gay nightclub Pulse as Omar Mateen, 29, a resident of Port St. Lucie, Fla., which is about 125 miles southeast of Orlando.

A gunman opened fired at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, at around 2 a.m. Sunday morning, killing approximately 50 and injuring at least 53.

The presumptive face of the Republican Party screamed a series of loosely related words at thousands of people in Tampa earlier today, pausing only to clap quietly to himself as he embraced a large piece of colored cloth.

“The State of Oklahoma strongly urges you to contact them if you are pregnant,” is a pretty terrifying sentence that you will find on the state’s Department of Health website in a just a few months.

New details have emerged about the Oakland Police Department sex scandal that suggest it was much more expansive than previously reported.

David Copperfield, the man who famously stole the Statue of Liberty in 1983 as a nation looked on in horror and disgust, wants to make a mockery of our American values yet again. David Copperfield wants Congress to officially recognize magic, the same magic that has caused both infinite hours of embarrassment and David Blaine, as “art.”

History repeats itself, but usually not word for word.

Most stories about presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump involve him profiting off some group of people’s misery. So you knew it would be only a matter of time before one of them would be about Atlantic City, the gambling addiction hotline capital of America.

In the wake of the leak of tens of millions of Twitter and old Myspace passwords this week, you may have heard a lot about two-factor authentification, the supposed impenetrable firewall between you, the unsuspecting cloud-based electronics user, and a hacker. I’m here to tell you that if someone is deeply intent on hacking you, you’re probably fucked.

Recently retired New York Post editor Col Allan took the time to write Gawker a thoughtful note today.

Gawker Media has filed for bankruptcy, as you read on Gawker earlier today. What does that mean? For you, the reader, it means very little: We will continue to operate as usual through the Chapter 11 process. There will continue to be new stories on this website by all of your favorite Gawker writers and also Hamilton Nolan. Eventually, things might be different—for example, anthropogenic climate change will probably lead to widespread famine and endless resource wars—but for now, we’re not going anywhere. Thanks for reading.

Last month, Gawker attempted to reach a Donald Trump supporter by the name of Greg Bonecutter, who’d told the Guardian that if it were up to him, “We’d bring back public execution and there’d be several trap doors on the White House lawn.” We wanted to know what was under the trap doors.

Executives at Gawker Media told employees today that the company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel’s third-party funding of several lawsuits against the company. This plan will allow Gawker to continue functioning, but will require selling the company to another entity. The move came after the Hon. Pamela A.M. Campbell of Pinellas County, Florida denied Gawker’s request to stay the enforcement of a $50 million bond that would allow it to appeal the $140 million verdict that a 6-person jury awarded Hulk Hogan in March.

Hillary Clinton was visibly shocked today when a reporter asked her if she’d discussed the possibility of Elizabeth Warren serving as her vice president. But once her eyes settled back inside her head, she actually gave a cold, yet refreshing answer.

Breaking news from the only politics blog worth reading: celebritybabies.people.com. Literally, don’t even try to get Michael Bloomberg to spend time with his grandson until the kid can hit a par four in three and carry his own damn golf bag.

Slack, a group chat and instant messaging program popular in tech and digital media workplaces, appears to be having a service outage. According to the service’s status website, the Slack website and API are down, due to an unexplained “resource exhaustion.” (We can relate!) This is the worst media news of the day.

“Bank tellers, the single largest occupation within [the retail banking] category, have a median hourly wage of $12.44.” A 2014 report found that “nearly one-third of tellers’ families” were enrolled in public assistance programs.

Sharron Angle, a Republican running for U.S. Senate in Nevada this year, put a sick and very graphic burn on her opponent, Joe Heck, in a newsletter sent to voters this month. That’s because a URL that one might think leads to Mr. Heck’s campaign site instead redirects you to a page that, as far as I can tell, has very little to do with the three-term congressman’s pro-business conservative platform.
