Something’s Wrong with the Holodeck: The Series

@Mrs. Batman: Very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to lose a pet.

Yesterday I was eating a turkey sandwich, and tore off a little piece of turkey to give to my dog. Then I started to cry, loud, heaving sobs. Totally freaked out my husband. I was crying so hard I couldn’t even answer him when he kept asking what’s…

God.

A lot of visitors to Deadspin also check out Jezebel.

Imagine knowing that there were children being enslaved out there and being like, “You know what, I shouldn’t talk about this to all these reporters, it might distract them from their rightful focus on Matt Hasselbeck.”

I wasn’t sure where I stood on this while Kaepernick issue, but now I’m glad it happened because it is going to force us to confront an ugly fact that no one wants to acknowledge and many young people don’t believe is even possible:

Thanks! I always feel a little intrusive posting here, because my comments go on forever and I’m a (gay) guy but I love the community and I’ve learned so much from everyone’s stories.

Please tell us more. What should we do with our __________.

Vikings will give USC a 1st round draft pick for him, right?

Agreed, but is it really necessary to make a point of saying homely pudginess? That’s not just slamming her, that’s slamming anyone who looks at all like her too.

A buddy of mine and I had a conversation about that. He basically said, “I appreciate how woke you are and how much you seem to want to better yourself. But you’re still a white dude and there’s some shit you’re never going to understand. Sometimes you just have to stay in your damn lane.”

Very well-said, way better than I ever could *applause*

Raise your hand if you’re exhausted by feminists tearing other feminists apart.

No, but it is a white thing to try and make black protest into a question of tone rather than the actual issues at play. If white Americans had expended 1/10 of the energy they’ve used to decry black protest on fixing the things being protested,we’d be in a frickin utopia.
