Podcasts about Gawker

EP #201: 2009, Part II — Conspiracy Season 2009 didn't just entertain—it reflected a culture already steeped in paranoia and conspiratorial thinking. Jason and Chauncey Telese (La Podfidential) rank five box office giants that, in hindsight, reveal how stories of secret cabals, engineered crises, and “truth” shaped by vibes over facts were already dominating the mainstream. The Lineup: 10. The Hangover (2009) 9. Angels & Demons (2009) 8. Sherlock Holmes (2009) 7. The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) 6. Up (2009) What seemed like harmless fun at the time now reads as a cultural preview of the conspiratorial mindset that would escalate throughout the next decade. The conversation also touches on the death of Hulk Hogan, the paranoia baked into Dan Brown's novels, Ron Howard's attempt to give pulp a prestige sheen, and Peter Thiel, who secretly bankrolled Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker, a real-world conspiracy that toppled a media empire. Which film deserves preservation in the Vault, and which one feels like prophecy for America's conspiratorial future? Credits Host: Jason Guest: Chauncey Telese (LA Podfidential) Produced by: Binge Movies Franchisees: Heather, Dan, Jason, Matt, Pete Support: patreon.com/bingemovies

Mazel morons! Your boys are back- mic flags off, baby monitors on, and the haters firmly in their sights. Today, Ben celebrates Ruby's elite sleep schedule (eight to four, four to eight!), while Josh explains why his household is running on fumes and toddler chaos. We swap parenting war stories, plan a groovy Bar Mitzvah, and reflect on the fine line between jealousy and celebration. We also pay tribute to the late Hulk Hogan (RIP? maybe?), spiral into a legal deep dive about Gawker, and call out a few unhinged internet trolls in a new, possibly short-lived segment: “Hi Haters.” Plus, we break down the ethics of location sharing in relationships, debate whether gazpacho is soup , and shout out the franchise heroes behind every great Dunkin' Donuts.

We're doing things a bit differently as we welcome our very first guest for a very special episode, where we'll attempt to scratch the surface of Tori's complicated relationship with the media over the past three decades. We'll explore not only how she's been represented (and misrepresented) by an often unforgiving and unflattering press, but also the ways in which Tori's intuition and perceptiveness allowed her to have the upper hand, talking circles around and discomfiting her inquisitors, and making clear that she wouldn't back down from her ideals or be silenced by patriarchal standards -  way before it was cool or safe or, let's be frank, not potentially career-ending to do so. Helping us to tackle this red-hot topic is a written and literal voice many of our listeners will be familiar with, both from the at once provocative and positively silly podcast Pot Psychology and his writing in The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Washington Post, Spin, Jezebel, and Gawker, among other publications. He also co-authors Slate's sex advice column How to Do It. A true raconteur and renaissance man - Rich Juzwiak!

The FBI has just declared there is no Epstein client list. For millions of Americans across political lines, this strains credibility—and raises serious questions, not the least is about the FBI's own discussions of the Epstein 'list'. Nick Bryant, a former reporter, knows this story very well, having worked with the original team who first broke the story. He has written books about the mindset and underground network that fuels such activities, such as in college sports and other industries, as documented in The Franklin Scandal. He helped found Epstein Justice, to bring resources to the victims of the Epstein empire. Is the FBI's recent declaration a betrayal of public trust as well as known facts? Nick Bryant thinks so.  Nick Bryant's writing has recurrently focused on the plight of disadvantaged children in the United States. He's been published in numerous national journals, including the Journal of Professional Ethics, Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness, Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved, and Journal of School Health. He co-authored America's Children: Triumph or Tragedy, addressing the medical and developmental problems of lower socioeconomic children in America. Bryant is the author of The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, & Betrayal. He has also contributed a chapter on child trafficking to Global Perspectives on Dissociative Disorders: Individual and Societal Oppression, a book addressing various facets of dissociative disorders. He is the co-author of Confessions of a DC Madam: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail. His mainstream and investigative work has appeared in USA Today Magazine, Playboy, Salon, The Twin Cities Reader, Vanity Fair, New York, GEAR, Gawker, the Scheer Post, and other publications too ignominious to mention. He is the host of The Nick Bryant Podcast.

Today, after a brief discussion on the recent deaths of Ozzy Osbourne and Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Asif and Ali discuss the career and complicated life of Hulk Hogan (7:15). They guys start off by discussing when they first heard of Hogan. They then go over his meteoric rise to become the most famous professional wrestler of all time. They then discuss his controversies including videos of Hogan using racist language and the Gawker trial, and the ongoing repercussions of these events. Hogan had a history of anabolic steroid use and died of cardiac arrest and so in the second half of the episode, Ali asks Asif about the heart complications of anabolic steroid use (34:30). He talks about how these steroids “build up” tissues and muscles and result in masculine-like effects (androgenization). He discusses how common anabolic steroid use is and how it has been linked to heart disease and heart failure in particular. Asif goes over the common symptoms that this type of heart failure would present with. He then goes over the testing that should be done as well as the treatment (mainly stopping steroid use).

On this episode of Heard Tell, host Andrew talks and our film critic friend Luis Mendez of the Mendez Movie Report break out their lifelong wrestling fandom to talk the passing of Hulk Hogan from worldwide superstar, to reality tv star, to viral video infamy of sex tape and racist comments, to Gawker lawsuit, returning to wrestling, and more that lead him to being boo'd and rejected in his last WWE appearance. Plus, Luis talks how the summer box office is doing very well with the success of Superman and Fantastic 4, which brings up the superhero movie debates again and if Marvel and DC can build on the success. Plus, how IMAX is becoming more of a business strategy and why that might start pricing out some folks from the theaters, why Lilo & Stitch succeeded where Snow White failed, 2025 box office top ten breakdown, real talk on how expensive movies are getting, Christopher Nolan's Odyssey project concerns as IMAX tickets go on sale a year in advance, and much more.All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxhttps://heardtell.substack.com/Questions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

In this episode, investigative journalist and bestselling author David Enrich joins the host to discuss the mounting legal threats facing journalists and the erosion of press freedom in the U.S. Drawing from his book Murder the Truth, Enrich explores how wealthy individuals weaponize lawsuits to silence critical reporting, referencing cases like the Peter Thiel-funded Gawker lawsuit. The conversation highlights the crucial role of the First Amendment, the vulnerability of independent journalists, and the importance of supporting local media to safeguard democracy. Enrich urges listeners to back independent journalism and stay vigilant about threats to free speech.Legal Threats and Press Protections (00:00:34)New York Times v.

Hello, media consumers!

Plus: Trump's "woke AI" order, Gawker's cultural legacy, and a listener question on deregulation and the BBB.

It's impossible to overstate the significance of Hulk Hogan in professional wrestling - and popular culture. From the moment he toppled the Iranian “Iron Sheik” in 1984, Hogan became an all-American hero and a global brand. He later found himself right at the centre of the WWF's steroid scandal, as well as its all-out war with Ted Turner's rival brand, the WCW. Hogan even formed an extraordinary secret tag-team with the billionaire Peter Thiel, together suing the online tabloid Gawker into oblivion over an illicit sex tape featuring Hogan and his friend's wife. But there is no question that Hulk will be remembered as a man who spoke freely and lived very publicly - to the delight of many millions of fans. Joining Uncensored to discuss his life and legacy is Darren Prince, owner and CEO of Prince Marketing Group and Hulk Hogan's longtime friend and agent. Piers also speaks to Bubba The Love Sponge, the aforementioned former friend who was involved in the sex tape scandal, and former WWF and WCW head writer Vince Russo. NOTE: Mr Prince was a late addition to the rundown for this segment and did not have prior knowledge of the format or panellists. We appreciate him joining us for this interview.

The Supreme Court can't be bothered to do real law — but they still expect trial judges to read their minds and treat those nebulous shadow docket orders like binding precedent. And that invisible ink precedent says that Trump can fire anyone, anywhere, at any time. Abrego Garcia is still dancing on the knife edge between Trump's DOJ and his DHS.

Remembering Hulk Hogan, the iconic pro-wrestling giant who passed away in Clearwater at 71. His journey back to the Lord, the Gawker lawsuit, musical roots while growing up in the Tampa area.

EASY LISTENING DEP'T.: In addition to being possibly the biggest superstar of professional wrestling, Hogan was also a racist and a fraud artist whose major legacy was his willingness to commit perjury as the plaintiff serving as the front person for Peter Thiel's successful campaign to abuse the legal system and the power differential, that comes with a reactionary billionaire class, to destroy Gawker, where I worked at the time, and to set the template for the Trump administration's current omnidirectional assault on the media, higher education, and pretty much everything else.

The Franklin Scandal and the Epstein scandal are quite similar in the sense that both networks were covered up by state and federal authorities and the mainstream media has been complicit, because it never demanded justice for the children whose lives had been disfigured. Nick started investigating the Epstein network in 2012, when he acquired his "Little Black Book"—seven years before the case broke nationally. He pitched an article on the Little Black Book for three years to mainstream media outlets, but, like The Franklin Scandal, his pitches were met with unbridled skepticism and incredulity. In 2015, finally, Gawker published the Little Black Book and accompanying articles. Nick on X: https://x.com/Nick__Bryant Nick's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/nickbryantnyc EPSTEIN JUSTICE https://epsteinjustice.com/ Nick Bryant is an investigative journalist. He spent seven years investigating a network that was covered up by state and federal authorities, culminating in The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, CA, and Betrayal.

What does it take for an idea to stand the test of time and shape generations? In this episode, Eric Jorgenson returns on The Greatness Machine to explore the enduring power of timeless ideas and transformative storytelling. Joining host Darius Mirshahzadeh, they dive into what makes certain books iconic and how mystics like Rumi and Jesus continue to influence modern philosophy. The conversation touches on Peter Thiel's strategic takedown of Gawker and its broader implications for media. They also discuss Ryan Holiday's approach to reviving Stoicism for today's audience and challenge the notion that originality is essential, instead highlighting the power of revisiting and reframing old ideas in fresh, relevant ways.

Show Notes: Dan Tabak, a lawyer and treasurer of Harvard Hillel, spent three years at Columbia Law School, he then worked as a litigator at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, but took a year off to clerk for a federal judge in Brooklyn. He went back to work at Simpson Thacher before moving on to his current firm, Cohen & Gresser which operates primarily in New York City but has offices in London, Paris, Dubai, and Washington, D.C. He currently lives in Scarsdale, New York with his wife and two kids. On the Board of Harvard Hillel Dan joined the board of Harvard Hillel during the pandemic, which allowed him to participate more actively. He explains why he joined the board and supporting the Jewish community was an important part of his decision. In response to the fact that Harvard has been in the news in connection with  anti-semitism, Dan states that the board has a diverse board with diverse viewpoints. He also mentions a 311 page study on anti-semitism at Harvard and notes that there are problems at Harvard that were different from what his class perceived, and that students today interact differently than when Dan was a student, specifically the inability to disagree with civility and respect for diversity of opinions.  The Decline of Jewish Students at HarvardDan discusses the decline in Jewish students at Harvard and similar institutions, noting that he believes it has not emerged from a top-down decision, but traces back to the Immigration Act of 1965. He notes that there was a high likelihood of having a Jewish roommate or blockmate in the class of 1992 and a lower chance now, which has led to fewer people understanding Jews and Jewish life at these institutions. He attributes the decline to the emphasis on more diversity on identities within admissions and how students feel a responsibility to represent their specific background as well as the Immigration Act of 1965, which opened doors to different communities, particularly immigrant families, who tend to value education highly and are now more represented at Harvard.  A Career in Law and Improving the Public School Systems Dan talks about his career at Simpson Thacher, one of the world's largest firms. His senior thesis in college involved a school funding decision in New Jersey. From his first week as a summer associate at Simpson Thacher to his departure years later, he worked with a group bringing a similar case in New York, Campaign For Fiscal Equity against the state of New York. The case involved school kids in New York City suing the state for a sound basic education under the New York State Constitution. The trial went nine months, and the students won the trial.  He summarizes the process from determining there is a right to finding the remedy.  The remedy involved resources and money, and the case went through another set of hearings to determine the appropriate resolution. Dan also discusses what the research revealed about class sizes, funding, and how the family situation impacts the education of a student.  A Focus on Financial Service CompaniesThe conversation turns to Dan's legal work, focusing on commercial litigation, with a focus on financial services companies, and bankruptcy and bankruptcy-related litigation. He talks about his involvement in a case involving Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan, in the bankruptcy of Gawker and Gawker's founder. He also touches on how this case helped lead to a change in how the public views the publication of sex tapes. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the legal landscape and the impact of cases like this on the legal landscape. Skills and Superpowers in LawDan believes that his strengths in law are the strategizing of how to get from here to there, listening to the client, and having a goal in mind. He also mentions being a good writer, which helps convey his thoughts. He initially was less strong at oral arguments but has since improved his skills and persuaded judges to change course and decide for his clients. One example of a successful legal strategy involves listening to clients and helping them figure out what they really want. For example, he has worked with pro bono clients who are more interested in justice than achieving a result. They often get a settlement offer and he explains the consequences if they don't take it. He explains that the lawyer must work through the emotional aspects and consider the implications of suing them and going to court. With corporate clients, Dan emphasizes the importance of listening to clients' goals and working relationships with the other party. A settlement can be a win-win situation for everyone involved, as long as they can continue doing business together. This is a different function of listening to what the client is trying to get out of the case. The Limitations of  Legal EducationDan believes that a course he took from Roger Fisher with the Harvard Negotiation project was more helpful in negotiation and negotiation strategy than anything he learned in law school. He also mentions that law school was more about hearing the cases and understanding the law, rather than emotional intelligence and negotiating strategies. He also mentions that law schools did not teach how to manage junior attorneys and paralegals, which he believes is essential for success in law firms. He talks about the many small inflection points in a lawyer's career, such as meeting the right people and introducing them to potential clients that change or shape direction and offer opportunities. Influential Harvard Professors and CoursesDan mentions the Negotiation course and a Constitutional Law class with H.W. Perry, where he learned how to read legal cases and understand constitutional law. Dan shares a memorable experience while he was taking the Constitutional Law course where he argued a case in front of classmates, including "Chief Justice" Ketanji Brown Jackson, and also mentions learning in an Intro to Psychology course about the concept of idiosyncrasy credits.  

When blogger AJ Daulerio broke the Brett Favre sexting scandal in 2010, it became one of the biggest stories of his career. But it came at a cost: he had betrayed Jenn Sterger, the woman at the center of the story, who had confided in him as a friend and explicitly asked him not to name her. The fallout was immediate and lasting. Jenn became the target of relentless online harassment and scrutiny that has followed her for 15 years. AJ went on to face his own reckoning when his aggressive tabloid journalism eventually led to Gawker's bankruptcy, which upended his career.  In this episode, both AJ and Jenn reflect on the toxic incentives of viral journalism, the lasting trauma of unwanted internet fame, and how a stray dog unexpectedly brought them back into contact after nearly a decade of silence. AJ now writes a newsletter and hosts a podcast about recovery called The Small Bow and writes an addiction advice column for Slate called Ask A.J. You can hear more of Jenn on her podcast, Not Today... with Eddie Pence and Jenn Sterger. Podcast production by Andrew Dunn Death, Sex & Money is now produced by Slate!

Robert D. Martin comes out of the Christian establishment from places I do not generally have access to, including being on the Board of the Liberty University School of Business, an officer of the Southern Baptist Convention, and working with powerful politicians and financiers. We ended up talking in depth before and after the show on our feelings about God in our lives. Rod is one of the most informed and articulate people I have met on global affairs from a historical and current events viewpoint. He will definitely add to your knowledge about what is going on in the clash between good and evil in the world today. Rod has many insights into the nature of human evil and how it is embedded in our institutions. However, he also expresses hope and details some reasons for hope in the beginning of a rebirth of Christianity in America, especially among younger people.   Rod speaks with amazing clarity and conviction about the most important issues of our day, making this one of my best hours of listening to another person's ideas.   Rod D. Martin, Founder and CEO of Martin Capital and The Rod Martin Report, is an investor, technology entrepreneur, and futurist from Destin, Florida. Fox Business calls him a “tech guru,” Gawker once labeled him a “brilliant nonconformist,” while Britain's Guardian describes him as a “philosopher capitalist.” BlazeTV has named him “one of America's leading public intellectuals.”   Rod was part of PayPal's pre-IPO startup team, serving as special counsel to founder and CEO Peter Thiel and as policy director to former Governor Mike Huckabee. He is active in a variety of charitable and educational endeavors, including service on the Board of Directors of the Center for Security Policy, on the Board of Advisors at the Liberty University School of Business, and as co-founder of the Conservative Baptist Network.     ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?

About 10 years ago, Jane Marie was doing pretty damn good for herself. She was on her own, had a new baby and was working hard as an editor at the feminist website, Jezebel. Then, it all came crashing down when an editor at Gawker, the umbrella site Jezebel was published under, released a story about a recently discovered Hulk Hogan sex tape - including footage.Enter Peter Theil, who had been looking for a reason to settle a score with Gawker when the Hulk scandal fell squarely in his lap. Theil ended up funding Hollywood Hulk's long, costly legal battle and when it was all said and done, Gawker couldn't keep up with the Theil money being thrown at them. They also made a few mistakes during depositions and trial testimony out of, let's just say, hubris, that didn't curry favor with the Judge deciding the case. When Gawker fell, it took everyone associated with the site down with it.On this week's episode, Jane sits down with the once cocky and brash Gawker editor, AJ Daulerio (the one who decided to publish the Hogan story), to talk about the where and the why of it all and find out if anything's changed in AJ's life since the heady days of the 2010's.You can find more from AJ and his current work with The Small Bow here:Substack: https://www.thesmallbow.com/Instagram: @smallbownewsletterPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-small-bow-podcast/id1576208098 Hosted on Acast.

This one's a long-time-coming! We finally have our buddy, Cord Jefferson, on the pod. We know Cord from our NY days when he was at Gawker but you might know him from winning an Oscar for adapted screenplay for American Fiction, which he also directed and which was based on Perceival Everett's Erasure. Cord also won an Emmy for writing that really good episode of The Watchmen about the Tulsa Massacre. We talk to him about possibly winning an E-G-O, desert noir, how much of a badass Perceival Everett is and much more. Books and Authors Mentioned in this Episode:Dave Eggers - A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering GeniusDave Eggers - You Shall Know Our VelocityDave Eggers - What is the WhatChristina Rivera Garza - Death Takes MeAllegra Goodman - IsolaCharlotte McConaghy - Wild Dark ShoreChimamanda Ngozi Adichie- Dream Count Tory Peters - Stag DanceTory Peters - Detransition, BabyLeila Lalami - Dream HotelLeila Lalami - The Other AmericansPercival Everett - ErasureAlan Moore - WatchmenEmily St. John Mandel - Station Eleven Walter Van Tilburg Clark - The Ox-Bow IncidentPercival Everett - God's CountryPercival Everett - James Samantha Harvey - OrbitalMaxim Luskatoff - Old King Lion Feuchtwanger - The OppermannsSebastian Haffner - Defying HitlerJames Baldwin - Giovanni's RoomPhilip Roth - The Human Stain James McBride - The Good Lord BirdColson Whitehead - Nickel BoysRobert Jones Jr - The Prophets Isaac Asimov - FoundationTed Chiang - ExhalationKurt VonnegutFollow Cord: @cordjeffersonFollow Us: @youshouldprobablyreadmore

Nick Denton, the founder of Gawker, more or less disappeared from the Internet in 2017, after a public legal battle with Hulk Hogan (backed by Peter Thiel) resulted in the site being shut down… That is until earlier this month, when Denton suddenly reappeared on X, tweeting over 200 times over the course of days. In his first podcast appearance since his recent return, Ben and Max talk to the former digital media mogul about why he's come back after almost a decade of relative anonymity and what he makes of this current media moment. They also discuss his new AI venture for journalism, why he's short Tesla and Elon Musk, long China, and how he looks back on his Gawker days today.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comDonald McNeil Jr., a 45-year New York Times veteran, comes on the pod to talk with Nancy and Sarah about … so much. The prompt was the recent NYT story, “We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives.” As the paper of record tries to come correct on Covid, we wanted to hear from the science journalist, one of the first to tell Americans about this strange thing called the coronavirus. A self-declared “cranky old-school” reporter, McNeil landed the story of his career in 2020 and became part of a team that won the Pulitzer. But by 2021, he was gone, amid scandal and speculation. He talks about the bizarre kerfuffle that led to his resignation, mean girl dynamics at the paper, being misled by scientists, and what we do and don't know about Covid-19's origins. As McNeil wrote in Wisdom of Plagues, "Covid coarsened us as a nation... The coarsening cracks our national skin. It makes us more vulnerable to infection."Also discussed:* Nancy tries not to fangirl. She fangirls anyway.* “It's a great newspaper but it's a second-rate corporation, and its personnel stuff is particularly bad.”* The walk McNeil took with James Bennet, a year after both getting booted from the Times, is a play we'd like to see* “Looks like Don nailed it. Let's not tell him.” (!!!!!!)* NYT brass on their writing staff: “Widgets made here.”* Young turks vs. cranky old-timers in union leadership* The Daily Beast and Gawker do not cover themselves in glory* "The Western focus on personal liberty above all can kill."* The Mike Pesca of it all* The hope that Covid might “unite us with a common enemy” like WWII. Awww, what happened instead? We turned on each other.* “Ecstasy is a very good drug to get you talking”* McNeil = not a fan of Jay Battacharya* Thoughts on RFK!Plus, McNeil explains what “hot-box” once meant, where he thinks H5-N1 is going, how cancel culture is like the French Revolution, and much more!Does McNeil think Covid-19 was engineered in a virology lab or evolved in the wet market?

In this episode, Matt and Chris tackle the big ideas—or at least the ones rattling around in Peter Thiel's mind. Tech billionaire, venture capitalist, and political kingmaker, Thiel has long been a looming figure in Silicon Valley, known for his deep pockets, contrarian takes, and peculiar philosophical musings. But beneath the surface-level libertarian posturing, what does Thiel actually believe? And does it hold up to scrutiny?The decoders dig into Thiel's recent interview on Uncommon Knowledge, where he waxes biblical about end times, interprets the katechon with all the confidence of a medieval theologian, and seamlessly blends venture capitalism with prophecies of the Antichrist.Along the way, they explore Thiel's method of connecting historical dots with pure vibes, and his Jetsons Fallacy, the deep disappointment that the world looks more like The Office than a 1960s vision of the future. They dissect the Sensemaker Aristocracy surrounding him—with its reverent back-patting and strange mix of deference and obfuscation that turns tech moguls into prophets. They also highlight Thiel's bizarre leaps in logic, from citing biblical prophecies to warning about one-world free-trade Communist government conspiracies and his confusing stance on technological progress—simultaneously lamenting stagnation while fearing we're racing too fast toward Armageddon.Of course, no billionaire worldview would be complete without some COVID conspiracies, and Thiel delivers, crafting an elaborate Fauci Bioweapon Paradox in which the pandemic response was simultaneously overblown and also secretly justified because the virus was (obviously) engineered.So is Peter Thiel a visionary? A libertarian Cassandra? Or just a very wealthy man with a lot of half-formed ideas and a habit of mumbling them into microphones? Matt and Chris wade through the mess so you don't have to. Stay till the end for the Revolutionary Leprechaun Theory of Western Civilization… if you dare.LinksHoover Institute: Apocalypse Now?

On what it was like covering Donald Trump's recent inauguration. On why fools continue to believe Trump cares about them. On whether American democracy can survive. On his early journalism days at Gawker.

Robert tells Noah how Peter Thiel went to war against Gawker and also completely whiffed on profiting from the 2008 financial crash. Bonus: how Palantir enabled a bunch of creepy corporate security types to stalk their girlfriends, each other.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
