Verizon to Sell Tumblr to Automattic

Article note: Another step in the saga. They're keeping the porn ban, so it's still worthless, meaning Automattic now has a pile of toxic fandoms in addition their pile of toxic PHP (I'm aware of the irony of ribbing about Wordpress on Wordpress, I'm wayy too lazy to do my own web front-end shit, and I value self-hosted comments, so I'm pretty stuck.)
