Whelp, here we are. Deadspin has finally spun down.

There were few things on the internet more wholesome than the love, and mutual respect,  between the Jezebel and Deadspin staff. 

Remember that it wasn’t just an iceberg, but excessive speed - due to an attempt by the skipper to make the transatlantic voyage in record time - that let the Titanic to crash. It wasn’t just bad luck, but also ambition, that caused the disaster.

Remember at the end when everyone was Dead or a’Spin on rafts and flotsam and there were all these new random faces? That was fucked up. 

That’s one Spin on it.

Deadspin and Jezspin forever!

I wish Jack could have boarded that door and survived, but ultimately he sacrificed himself to save the one he loved, and the beauty of their union that despite its short life is everlasting.

Your daughter is a “fresh grad” and “working her first job” but somehow has money to invest in a brokerage account?? I don’t believe you... (and if this is true, I really don’t care what happens to your daughter’s money as much as I care about her classmates graduating with tens of thousands of dollars of debt.) 

“Shedd claimed that a male student felt targeted by the notes and no longer left safe attending class.” asshole is in denial about the rapist who literally outed himself. police need to get the name from the principal and find out what he’s been up to.

Biden - I’m the only one who has done big things [lists of things accomplished by Obama, other Senators, and countless others]. Me, me, all me.

Because when the kid turns 18, they are able to use these services without asking mom. The agreement is with the mother, not the child, even though this decision affects them. And what about the child’s children? It’s unrealistic to expect the agreement to stand across generations.

She is a public figure and she did something, maybe not surgery, to radically change the look of her eyes before hitting a public venue where she would be heavily photographed. We’re not supposed to comment on the difference or ponder the why and how? I found it fascinating that she could make such a huge difference…

I couldn’t disagree more. What they do is hijack the comment board and suck all the oxygen out of the room. The absolute worst thing you can do to them is ignore and dismiss them. They WANT you to engage. Who exactly would you be educating by allowing them exposure? Everyone on this site who is not a troll already…

How about “convicted rapist Brock Turner?” Nobody cares that he can swim.

Shut up, Brock.

Yeah, I reread that sentence because at first I assumed the college just didn’t want a plaque marking something violent that happened on campus - cause bummer - but what obtuse jerks do they have to be to “quote” her while rejecting the quote she actually suggested. “I’m okay, everything’s okay” is so minimizing out…

Jesus Christ, who was the meathead administrator at Stanford that approved the use of that quote?
