Where do we go for updates on what’s happening to our friends at Deadspin?

Don’t tread on his 2nd amendment rights.

Same. As someone who’s been here for more than ten years, and mostly reads the political/snark/etc. stuff (Jez, Gawker [RIP], and The Root), the main attractant to Deadspin was when they posted non-sports stuff. If they truly do make this stick, then it will end any desire on my part to read the stuff they post there.

Anybody following the active revolt being staged over at Deadspin? Yesterday’s “sports only” edict seems to be going over like a lead balloon, with them only posting older non-sports content and some newer, excellent non-sports stuff like a listicle of Mexican dogs (described as “good”, which seems redundant as they

I take some shit from family when I rock the sleeveless look at the beach, but even I can manage to put on a button-down if Good Morning America is interviewing me!

Cut to montage.

The ex of a distant second cousin i haven’t seen in about 15 years once FB messaged me this long diatribe about how he was lying about something involving her kid and it was really him who was in the wrong and how he’s a compulsive liar etc etc etc. I had never met nor heard of this woman in my life, and I can only

Then hold onto your hat, because you’re about to be fascinated by the revelatory field of psychology and neuroscience known as “attachment theory”.

Wait... She's texting their relatives? Even knowing she's unhinged, what possible outcome could she expect from DMing Cousin Greg about him?

At what time did she manage to work, this revenge thing seems very time consuming.

I have an acquaintance who is lovely and super chill and maintains perspective on everything in life - except romantic relationships with men. She consistently dates *terrible* dudes, and then inevitably goes completely off the wall when they start to distance themselves from her. We are talking dozens of texts and

I kind of doubt he is particularly committed to sobriety. But it isn’t healthy to see a slip up as a catastrophe that eliminates all progress either.

So, did she send 9,000 texts to him, or 9,000 texts, very generously and reasonably spread out among him, his new gf, and the relatives? Because that sounds like a very sane thing to do.

Does she, though? Celtic crosses are often represented with equal sides. In all honesty, it’s so badly done and has aged so poorly (and is not shown clearly enough in the photo), that it might have even started out as a four-leaf clover. Here’s a screen-shot, so there’s no need to click on the fucking Daily Mail link.

I came here thinking this article would creep me out but just the opposite happened. 

And like I was expecting the neighbors to be like “my wife talked to that lady 30 years ago and then A BAD THING HAPPENED” but they were just like “that lady talked to my wife 30 years ago, don’t talk to her!”

Um... “Toe head” brings a very different (and much more hilarious) picture than does a “towhead.” Likewise “heard animal” and “herd animal.”

She was just not botoxed enough
