Well it's part of the same media group as Gawker and Kotaku so yeah it's slop and always has been
Is Jalopnik a zombie site now? It used to be about cars. (Jalopy + Beat-nick I think).
I didn’t read this link but the title feels utterly unrelated.
Like I said, always has been.
And yes, that's the etymology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-nik
So I'm also not sure why they're reporting space news.
In the early days it had decent people writing articles about shitty cars and LeMons racing and stuff. It was decently funny and Mike Spinelli made some good jokes over the years.
