Listen, I don’t really care what gun control is enacted; it wouldn’t affect my ability to buy a gun, but I can’t help but thinking that focusing on assault weapons is misplaced. Not that I begrudge anyone working on that, but as a practical matter assault weapons are responsible for a minuscule number of deaths in…

So, the Ziff Davis bid is the “stalking horse bid.” It effectively sets a floor for the price negotiations, but there’s not any meaningful real money that will sit in escrow. Now, other buyers can come kick the tires and make bids, but they have to put in a better bid that ZD. ZD would almost certainly have the right…

Having worked for a company that went through Chapter 11 the promise of “business as usual” is probably not exactly accurate. In order to meet the restructuring targets, there are usually some fairly draconian changes to operations. Maybe it won’t affect Deadspin generally, but it will likely have some severe impacts…

“The Colbert Report” was a gift to us all.

The school will likely not “pull out all the stops” because even if they followed (what they thought was) their process, it may still make them look very bad. University bureaucratic procedures have a habit of not being very well-thought-out or even legal. It’ll be interesting to see how hard they fight this. You can…

Absolutely, everyone involved in the legal system should always be focused on how it can put the “scumbag [accused] in jail where they belong.” I see no problems with that.

You’re right. Being publicly accused of a heinous crime that you didn’t commit (not necessarily saying that this is the case here, but it easily could be) is really only losing a “very tiny bit.”

I believe the article proves the headline:

Between the West Wing and the Simpsons, we could just describe scenes from each to convey meaning in every conversation.

I had previously been informed that Bears were the one true enemy. Not true?

It’ll likely start with some light mashing but end up with the full toad in the hole.

While I don’t disagree that it’s generally stupid, you do tend to have cases at both ages 9 and 7 where kids swing while obviously looking at first base, the scoreboard, the sun, the dugout (i.e. everything except for the fucking ball). It’s arguably a little less meaningful at a high school game.

America actually drinks less than most developed countries. We probably do smoke more weed, but the negative health ramifications of that are minimal compared to demon rum.

The world has an alcohol problem. In actuality, America drinks much less than most developed countries. We’re roughly 50th in per capita alcohol consumption—behind virtually every European country. We do have more of a DUI problem than most countries, but they, generally, have many more alcohol-related negative health…

Wrong. They are not abridged to the extent that a student wearing a non-profane hat, when other kids can wear hats without limitation, can be told that his hat is offensive solely because of the ethnic background of the other kids.

Exactly, they forgot the ironic comma.

Your response makes no sense. Elizabeth Banks has the advantage of being part of the .001%. Anything that she wants to out-source she can. Therefore, this means not that anyone is “regulating” (relegating?) her to child care, but that she wants to do it, she knows the economic/career consequences of not doing it, and…

I hate hate hate people who think that they’re the left lane speed police, but do you really think that there’s any amount of blame on the Nissan that would/should have resulted in what’s seen in the video?

As a Cubs fan, I simultaneously resent and resign myself to this remark.

Came here to post that. She’s definitely progressing along the Wildenstein continuum. Like Kim, Jocelyn looked pretty damn good before all the crazy plastic.
