        The only thing that will give him catharsis is reporting more children to the cops for doodling on the sidewalk with chalk without permission. May the lord have mercy on the kids of Williamsburg.

    I hope they can do one final article with a name like “We dropped NSA grade research chemicals with Yair Netenyahu at a Hindutva psytrance warehouse rave” or some nonsense, y’know, for closure.

    Once upon a time I was the full stack developer and the sysadmin—so the entire tech staff—for an online magazine. But somehow Vice can’t handle running its own site anymore?

    I think its funny that the guy who founded Vice got replaced with the person who turned A&E into the duck dynasty network, after which she totally tanked the company, and they then replaced her with two guys who were both in senior executive positions as the company kept shooting itself in the foot. I have no sympathy for Shane Smith. The man is a billionaire and his company ethos went from “What if lame nepo baby punk sex pests could be journalists” to “What if tech guy sex pestd were journalists” without ever stopping being performative about the aesthetic. But it is funny that the company only functioned under his leadership when his main deal is forming deals to get vice funded by other people and going to third world countries to gawp.

        Gavin Mcinnes founding the proud boys and also founding vice is pretty well known, partially because Gavin Mcinnes won’t shut the fuck up about how he had to leave vice because it wasn’t punk enough, since the only punk thing was being a white supremacist and a fascist.

      Yes. The guy was a government official from one of the separatist Donbas regions. He was disillusioned with how corrupt or inefficient the new government is and how they weren’t respecting people’s demands and think they all would’ve been shot by the kind Vladimir Illych. I believe the guy’s name or moniker is also Lenin lol

        It’s called “nom de guerre” dad, and it’s a far superior concept to a “moniker”!

    Waypoint was the only valuable thing they had, and they laid them off about a year ago.
