All he wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi. But they wouldn’t give it to him.

The Gawker award was excessive and likely would not have stood up on appeal had they not settled, but having a snippet of your sex tape published on the internet seems like a pretty harrowing experience to me. There is a lot that is enraging about how Gawker was destroyed by a vengeful billionaire, but it doesn’t…

What? I always get an answer, something like: “Benghazi! Emails!” Then if you ask them for actual details they have no fucking clue. But they think they’re making a powerful argument just by saying the words.

This is a sincere question: is your personality as a writer a character, do you happily ignore reality, or are you really as huge of a hypocrite as you seem to be, or is it some combination of those?

God dammit, I was a victim of clickbait.

There’s a difference between saying “this name is dumb and should change” and saying “this name is so sacred you should base your vote for President of the Goddamn United States on defending it”.

Deadspin today:

I don’t understand the pulling on Hendricks AT ALL. Dude was pitching well, he hadn’t thrown that many pitches...it was the 5th! Maddon doesn’t have an Andrew Miller to dominate the middle innings.

That’s an oddball collection of teams you’ve got there.

You should probably just have left it at “I don’t follow baseball that closely.”

I actually think the “hang’ em all high and let god sort’em out” take is terrible because it presupposes that, other than a rogue program (like Baylor) here and there, everything is mostly just fine at other schools. If you just isolate and destroy the bad ones, then what you’re left with must be pretty functional!

Well, it wasn’t really that awesome, but you sure managed to fuck whatever it was up.

Counter-point: If Susan Sarandon’s endorsement on November 1st is something that could effect the way you choose to vote, you’re already a big part of the problem.

I did not remember that Amelia Bedelia was such a fucking idiot until I started reading them to my daughter. After the first two, she looked at me and said “is she not being smart on purpose?”
