But, hey, who likes to actually read the posts they reply to anyway?

Do you have a masochistic streak or something? Just wondering.

Will the free MP3s make a comeback at your new home?

Also, what does Mr. Raftery think of this?

(You see, I know what's under the hood running all the Gawker Media properties, and all I can say is: I don't envy the guys that are gonna have to port these things over)

So what does this mean re: commenting? Since my Gawker Empire-commenting invite came via Idolator, do I lose my right to make smart ass comments on deadspin? Will I have to get a new login to comment here in the future? Will this site start to suck just like stereogum now does? Will we get mp3 links back?

Enquiring minds want to know. I want to know.

How do I say this ... THROWDINI!

Holla! For a minute there I got all worried, seeing as how there was a lack of posts tagged with "by Maura Johnston" in the past week or two. But then again, I know, nothing comes between a girl and her baseball games, or I don't know, having a life outside of work.
