I wrapped up at Gawker with a fun Donald Trump Loser list, and then started at Salon a week later as their Pop Culture Assistant News Editor, which has been awesome so far. Here are a few of my posts:
A Grab Bag of Donald Trump Invective
Calculate Your Paul Ryan Marathon Time
Paul Ryan Lies About Lying on the Today Show
Child Bride Courtney Stodden Turns 18 Today
What If the Romney Sons Were a Boy Band?
As you can see, I write about really serious stuff.
Links to the pieces I did in July for Gawker and elsewhere:
-My dubious contribution to the Kristen Stewart/Rupert Sanders affair
-Tail of Mears, a finely curated collection of the best of Gawker’s worst hate mail
-More Tail of Mears
-I helped out with this super-awesome Breaking Bad supercut, yo
-A piece where I got to make fun of The Daily Caller and Chick-fil-A at the same time
-My first attempt at BuzzFeed-y BuzzFeed posts
Also, for the 1 person who reads this, I am starting a comedy blog/website in the next few months. Stay tuned!
And probably the best use of animated gifs you will ever see, too. All book reviews of horrible literature should be written like this.
UPDATE: This review was so good that I had to write about it for Gawker.
My parodied list of CainTV shows for Gawker. Read the discussion for some (even better) show ideas.
Also, I am going to take a moment to humblebrag that Salon tweeted at me, because until today, only sexbots did that:
Thank you, Fox News Magazine, for existing.

By now, many of you have probably heard about Sweden’s Twitter account, @sweden, which the New York Times describes as “a government initiative that entrusts the country’s Twitter account to a new citizen every seven days.” The article is reported from “Trollhattan,” which gives you a taste of the type of unintentional humor (and trolling) that has been spewing from the twitter account that represents the Scandanavian country.
This past week, the tweets have been curated by Sonja, an unemployed 27-year-old mother of two who is either a twitter genius, a glib racist, or just a troll. Gawker compiled her crazy Jew tweets earlier this week, and I’ve been following her with fascination ever since.
Here are my top 10 favorite twitter sequences, brought to you by @sweden:
10. That really popular phrase, “Blame it on the Boogie:” 
9. That time she ordered a uterus online and ate it for dinner:
8. When she made that totally unnecessary mind-jump from Snow White to Se7en, and created the “knife dildo:”
7. The in-depth discourse on the art of Breastfolding:
6. That time she compared her day to the Nuremberg Trials:
5. Dolphin rapists and Hitler. Yes, that is what she said:
4. That time she took a pic of Freddie Mercury and photoshopped him in with strawberries, and paired it with the most offensive and unnecessary caption in the world:
3. That time she called out someone else for being racist, by being racist:
2. The time she said: “Sometimes I just look at my children and think about the time when they had my vagina round their neck.”
Here, read it again:
1. THIS.
For my Gawker piece yesterday, I was trying to find bros from the 90s. Curious to see what Getty Images thought of my childhood era, I searched for “1990s.” These were the tragic results.
My first piece for Gawker, where I currently intern.
Assistant editor at Salon, focusing on pop culture. Former Gawker intern and humor writer at HelloGiggles. Management consultant at Deloitte before all of that. Follow me @prachigu.
