Astronaut Dreams and Flying Machines and Other Sad Songs We Heard This Week

Leah Beckmann · 09/21/12 06:00PM

You know how sometimes you'll put a yogurt in your office fridge, storing it away like a squirrel, that was specifically purchased for your breakfast on Friday morning and in the meantime it becomes this sort of beacon of light, this tiny orb pulsing with the promise of freedom and the weekend, and you wake up Friday morning looking forward to eating it, whistling as you get ready for work because you know you're about to start your day the way the Greeks intended? Well someone in this office stole my yogurt from the fridge. For this week's hate mail roundup, please join me in channeling all of these negative vibes at the ratfink who violated me. Have a good weekend!

"How are [we] to believe that blue ivy is the daughtor of the devil" and More Questions Posed to Us this Week

Maeve Keirans · 08/31/12 06:00PM

A lot of important questions were tossed at us this week: What are Gawker's politics? What does it take to get escorted out of the RNC? Does Rand Paul wear a wig? And perhaps most pressing, are we sure that Blue Ivy is the daughter of the devil? Take the weekend to consider these questions and we'll regroup after Labor Day. Have a superb long weekend, everyone!

'You Fuckin Coke Heads' and Other Things We Were Called This Week

Maeve Keirans & Jessica Benjestorf · 08/24/12 06:30PM

Lots of variety among the emails we received this week: some people shared their thoughts on recent articles, some wrote in about articles published weeks ago, and some sent us links to The New York Times. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Have a great weekend, y'all!

Our Hate Mail Wasn't Tarnished By a Rape Joke This Week, Thankfully

Maeve Keirans · 07/13/12 06:00PM

Here is the roundup of the best hate mail we received this week, including sad goodbyes, t-shirt truths, conspiracy theories, and word-count criticism. Happy Friday the thirteenth: everyone should go get baked and walk on the treadmill for a couple of hours to celebrate.

The Humble Requests that We, Gawker Dickbags, Received this Week

Maeve Keirans & Prachi Gupta · 07/06/12 06:00PM

This week we received mail from a Max Read enthusiast, a Canadian with a simple request, and a person who hates dogs. We're looking into fulfilling the requests that were so kindly asked of us, so next week you can expect a Canada-centric site with a new subtitle. Until then, ciao ciao!

Is Lola Versus a Bad Movie, or Are All Men Sexist?

Leah Beckmann · 06/12/12 11:50AM

Lola Versus, a rom-com-ish movie about a woman who goes looking for herself after she's dumped the same day she tries on her wedding dress, opened this past weekend to bad numbers and worse reviews. Starring Greta Gerwig, directed by Daryl Wein and co-written by Zoe Lister Jones, it brought in a meager $31,815 (in New York and L.A. only, but still) and trailed behind its same-genre competitor, Safety Not Guaranteed.

'Go Gawker!' and Other Jarring Well-Wishes We Received This Week

Leah Beckmann · 06/08/12 05:15PM

In an interesting turn of events this week, a barrage of our defenders came barreling into our inboxes, which is almost more unsettling than the death threats we are accustomed to. What gives, guys? The inmates have become the guards, brothers fighting brothers, up is down and left is right. Anyway, enjoy the roundup and this blessed summer weekend.
