Mike's Blog Round Up
By Tengrain — August 24, 2016

Today we say welcome back to our longtime friend His Vorpal Sword who has returned to blogging and we say goodbye to Gawker.

Badtux the Snarky Penguin offers a suggestion.

Infidel753 reminds us that there are more of us than there are of them. Phew! (Also happy 10th blog-o-versary!)

PoliticsUSA proves to us that sometimes there are second acts in American Politics. Wish there weren't.

His Vorpal Sword will not miss Gawker, and presents a master-class in journalism ethics.

Bonus Track: Nick Denton gives all of us bloggers an object-lesson in hubris if not How Things Work as the last post ever at Gawker. Whether you loved or hated that site, this elegiac, long-format post is worthy of reading. With a critical eye.

Round-up by Tengrain who blogs at Mock, Paper, Scissors. You can follow Tengrain on the Twitters, too. Send tips, requests, and suggestions to mbru AT crooksandliars DOT com (with "For MBRU" in the subject line).

Can you help us out?
