This morning we woke to an email from Drew Grant, formerly of Jossip.com. We say formerly, not because she (who we totally thought was a he) quit, or got fired, but because Jossip, like its sister site MollyGood before it, is on, uh, hiatus.
But not to worry. Drew has a new gig over at ASSME.org—not to be confused with the NSFW assme.com—where she's blogging with the likes of Gawker casualties and other unemployed "media elites." So, what does ASSME stand for? And why are we writing about it?
ASSME is The American Society of Shitcanned Media Elites. A pretty appropriate name for a place where internet famous people go after being "let go" for one reason or another. ASSME.org is edited by Sheila McClear, who back in the fall was surprise laid off by Gawker.
So why are we writing about them? You don't think we're naive enough to believe that we couldn't be laid off at any moment, do you?
Another site to check out, The Awl, launched today by former Gawkers Choire Sicha and Alex Balk.
