They remind me of the models in Tom Petty’s “Don’t Come Around Here No More” video in those checkerboard outfits and tall hairdos.

Buttigieg’s slogan:

My take on the debate performances (other than the fact that is two 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back and there were too many damned candidates on the stage):

This is an intense and well-written story, the exact type of stuff that nobody but Deadspin is doing.

I think that it would be cool if we just keep adding comments to this post. It’s still here and it’s still active.

Hi Maria and everyone who reads this! I’ve only ever replied to comments so I’m kind of.. nervous..?

I’m happy you’re okay!!! ♥ Now allow me to fibreglass camper fangirl:

I wish your shithead executives would let you and your readers publicly mourn Splinter. It is missed.

Goodbye everyone! Thanks for letting me partcipate and laugh in the face of the ridiculous world we live in. The writers and commenters are some of the smartest, funniest people I’ve interacted with on the interwebs. Take care everyone.

Can someone at Splinter please explain why the holy fuckballs you always have Tomato ungrayed? His tedious trolling bullshit is long-term harmful to every political ideal you authors here otherwise promote.

No one respects anything you have to say and you should consider that before you ever post again.

Luke-warm take: It’s ok to be annoyed if a guy refuses to shake your hand before the game.

I like Richard Sherman - I don’t think he’s asking too much to have a respectful handshake before the game. Why not?
