Welcome back! Wish we weren’t in a climate where you weren’t so desperately needed, but since we are...

Shit’s ‘bout to get lit!

Sad to say that my introduction to the Root was through getting into fights with Jimi Izrael. He’s no longer with y’all though, right?

Are y’all a separate vertical or going to be subsumed by one of the other other Gawk...errr—Gizmodo verticals?

Welcome. Unity.

As a Jez native I can say this is a thing we definitely need. So excited! Welcome!

Right on! (I’m not bringing it back; it never left!)

Welcome! I’ll admit I haven’t read much from The Root in the past but it’s gonna be a lot easier to keep up with now that it’s here.

Count me interested.

Well yay, site I always liked but then would get distracted from reading by crazy contrarian Slate headlines. Glad you’re here!

As a black Star Wars fan who idolized Lando, this is okay with me. At least we’ll have Insecure’s second season in 2017.

This is an awesome turn of events! I’m incredibly delighted and encouraged by this. 

How long have you been around before docking at Kinja?

I plan to be here with gifs on deck.

Good stuff. Welcome!

I am Root.

Last I knew you guys were part of Slate. This should be cool. Welcome to the party.

Well, this has certainly gotten interesting. Lord knows there’s been a lack of balance on the main pages.

As a fellow Ern, this pains the hell out of me.
