Yesterday, we published a post called “Real-Life Kramer Breaks Door Instead of Delivering Unhinged Racist Rant.” Here is the editorial discussion, held in the gawker-editors Slack chat, that preceded it.

Heads up: At or around 11:00 a.m. today (Monday, March 2), we're re-merging the Gawker Newsfeed with the Gawker.com front page. The old Newsfeed URL will redirect to Gawker.com, and posts that were previously published or shared to Newsfeed will now be shared to the front page instead.

I sent this email to the Gawker Politburo today after our seating chart was leaked to The Awl. Lots of the Jezebel writers were upset by this. I explained why.

Heads up to regular commenters: Sometime this week the Gawker Media tech team will give us a head start on following people for the new sections by migrating the main page's "follow list" to each sub-blog (with the exception of the Vane and Valleywag, which have well-defined communities and more closely moderating bloggers). I'm hoping this will assuage some frustrations with and doubts about the Slow Gawker system.

Having finally gotten fed up with that ancient (2010?) advertising video, I wrote a new masthead post/about page that will hopefully be useful to new readers or visitors looking for information.

I'm 24 hours late reporting this, but Gawker has a new deputy editor and a new features editor. Here's the memo I sent to staff yesterday; Capital New York wrote it up here.

We wrote a lot of posts on Gawker.com this year. We also abandoned a lot. Here is a peek behind the curtain.

Sex, death, plastic surgery, cussing, and mozzarella sticks: These were Gawker's most popular posts this year*, by number of unique visitors as judged by Google Analytics.

As part of our end-of-year process, all Gawker Media site leads were asked to submit planning memos for the next year. In the interests of transparency, here's mine.

Hello! We're the staff of Gawker. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we'll be hanging out in this post (hosted on our new housekeeping/behind-the-scenes blog Sausage) answering questions and chatting.

If there is one thing that 4chan users and Facebook users have in common besides fatuousness and illiteracy, it is a fondness for sharing their thoughts about race and criminal justice in the comment sections of Gawker.com.

The process of writing, editing, and publishing things for a large audience tends to be much more haphazard than either our detractors or fans think, and more messy that we'd all like to let on, at both glossy prestigious magazines and at charmingly amateurish blogs [broad wink].
