Vice Media Lays Off Writers

Vice Media is laying off workers, so let’s have a moment of silenceOK that’s enough.

Aw, who am I kidding? Break out the tiny violin!

“Thursday’s layoffs mainly came from Refinery29.”

I had honestly forgotten that Vice owned that feminist well of suck.

Vice had done some interesting work early on, but had gradually morphed into a hard-left Gawker-lite. Indeed, having either on your resume should be as toxic to future employment prospects as having Gawker itself on there.

And here’s a great zinger from The Babylon Bee’s managing editor:

Have them all come work for us at @TheBabylonBee. They can write the same kind of pieces they always did and we’ll just publish them as satire
