California Ex-Governor Further Debases Self, the Fall of Gamergate HQ and More #Mustreads

Hi!

First, some housekeeping news. This will be the last #mustreads post, as I’ll be switching to writing up a morning email newsletter for Re/code instead. You can subscribe to the “beta” version, called Re/code Daily, here. With the newsletter, you’ll be able to get your fix of Internet errata as well as the biggest stories in tech. You should expect to see the new and improved version in a couple weeks.
