I personally think this is the world's best gif. Seriously, I may post this daily on Jezzie and Gawker until I get sick of it. :)

I am going to use the following gif from this weekend's playoff games ad infinitum on this site to express my feelings about most stories:

Serious question: when did we replace the term "image" with "optics"? This is completely new to me, and the usage of "optics" to stand in for "superficial image at odds with the content of the narrative surrounding it" is annoying in its attempt at obfuscation.

Anyone who goes on national TV to portray herself and her (unrelated to the crime) family as "victims" in the face of the unrelenting horror that Anonymous is turning up is a troll of the highest order, a Trumpian troll if you will, and should be summarily ignored.

Your final paragraph is completely co-signed by this Ivy League, ivory tower, Upper West Side uber-lefty. I thought Bigelow did a fantastic job at leaving the torture completely agnostic, as a depiction. It is decidedly ambiguous in its take on the effectiveness of torture in producing information that lead to Bin…

I have very large labia minori that protrude significantly, especially when aroused, and I have NEVER had a guy complain about it. In fact, a few found it a huge turn on, and something else to have fun with during oral sex. That said, ultimately if YOU have this hangup and it's preventing you from enjoying sex and you…

Hard to believe the Tiger Woods story when they don't even get his kid's name right. Her name is just Sam, not Samantha. I am not ashamed I know that.

I dunno. My theory at 18 years old about smoking=partier=compatible roommate was complete bunk, so I have no other advice to give! And my idea of a compatible roommate now is I-am-married-to or is-canine. :)

Horrendous. I remember when I was admitted to Harvard in 1993, you got to fill out a questionnaire to aid with roommate matching. I wanted a fun, go-out-to-the-bars, throw parties non-nerd, and so I figured that closest chance I had to ensuring that at my nerdy nerd college was to put down for a smoking room (i.e. I…

I lived in London for two years. Walkers Smoky Bacon chips were like the only decent thing the UK had, foodwise, that America didn't. The super cheap beer and wine was great, too.

I literally just posted the same question, albeit much more long-windedly. +1 for getting there first.

What's the chance Lance Armstrong is somehow behind this investigation of Te'o? I mean, QUITE the coincidence that all this breaks right before his big Oprah moment, distracting the sports- and non-sports minded alike.

Yep. Had the same thought, as have many others. Gay + Mormon at a Catholic college + big-time athlete = desperate desire to remain closeted, which would require SOME story to explain why he is not getting all the awesome Notre Dame co-ed tail he can, alongside his teammates.

I think there's potentially another conversation to be had, about gay athletes in major (religious) sports programs, one that will never get started because it will be impossible to verify unless Te'o actually comes out (never gonna happen): that he and his friend perpetrated this fake girlfriend to deflect his…

Thanks! It's been 13 months, and I am loving it. I haven't noticed any weight loss, but sleep is a little better (I switched to green tea, which does have caffeine and I have had to learn as I get older that I cannot drink it past 4pm). Most importantly I used to feel achy near my liver (like a night of hard drinking)…

Quitting Coke can be done. I quit a 20 year serious Diet Coke addiction and after mere months without it found I cannot stand the taste. What was nectar of the Gods to me now tastes metallic and weird and like no discernable taste found in nature.

When I become famous I will answer every interview question like Tatyana Ali. How do I stay so slim? Toe curls and chocolate-flavored laxatives. What do I do for fun? Press my own 3 Wolf Moon t-shirts and play 80s hair band music on the ukelele. What are my guilty pleasures? Tiramisu and robbing hobos during my…

I am less embarrassed as concerned for his mental health. This whole thing seems very Munchausen by proxy to me.

Nope. Deadspin won the Internet in 2013, we can pack it up and go home. BTW, the theory I most love about Te'o is that this is a big gay coverup, that he and that Ronnieah (sp?) guy are secret lovers and the fake girl was a way to be affectionate in public with no one the wiser. I think it's more likely they faked the…

Wouldn't the NY Times refer to her as an "alumna" of Stanford? "Alumnus" suggests they already knew Lennay was male... :) Fascinating article. Amazing how the internet is making Munchausen by proxy so easy...
