1) How Nick Denton caught Lockhart Steele in a whirlwind to set out against Jake/Jen

Lord Denton: You are here because Gothamist is about to be destroyed - its every living editor and unpaid intern terminated, its entire existence eradicated.
...
Lord Denton: ... While the others experienced this in a very general way, your experience is far more specific - vis a vis love.
Steele: Jen's rack.
...
Lord Denton: Apropos, she founded Gothamist to save your life, at the cost of her own.
...
Lord Denton: ...There are two doors. The door to your right leads to Gawker Media, and the salvation of the Lower East Side. The door to your left leads back to Gothamist, to her and to the end of LES hipsters. As you adequately put, the problem is choice...
Steele: If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again.
Lord Denton: Too late, sucker. You're hired.

Everything that has a beginning, has an end.

2) TMFTML on Spiers vs. Coen:

"who can be the first to report on the color of the vomit Conde Nast bulimics ..."

3) Gothamist tries to get a little attention in the now ongoing Denton vs Touby, Spiers vs Coen rivalry with this:

"...Gothamist predicts that 10 new Gawker interns will be hired/picked up from the Port Authority to vet possible mistakes in Mediabistro coverage..."

You bet they will!!!
