As a former terrible cook who is now passable, I would say that 9/10ths of being a decent home cook is learning how to choose a recipe. I spent a few years learning a new recipe only like once every 3-4 months, and then trying it over and over. And then choosing recipes similar to ones you already know, in order to…

I feel like it is. If the writers and readers basically left enmasse, it would be a fitting end and maybe tank any remaining value these sites have.
The joke definitely predates Justified but I too love that show.
I miss Raylan Givens. Best character FX has ever had on their network.
Yes! I still quote this to people on the regular.
You missed the best part, which is that his initial offer to the neighbor was $5, a price which probably wouldn’t even cover the raw cost of the food.
Dear r/AmITheAsshole,
So, I was recently put in charge of an already successful website by this private equity firm. I covered the site in loud, obnoxious ads, drove readers away and than started firing the people who made the website successful in the first place when they wouldn’t kiss my ass. But, I mean, those…
Living in a city, grocery delivery is infinitely preferable to the hand-to-hand combat and Mad Max parking lots I have to deal with when I go to a store myself. It saves me time, and it’s a lot less stressful.
If they need to go paywall then I would prefer they link up with some other progressive outlet or whatever you could come up with. At least folks with our sensibilities could create a safe harbor away from from the catch and kill Private Equity folks. Just unfortunate that the right ownership group couldn’t figure out…
The feelings you describe about seeing your weight at a level you hadn’t seen in a while...that spoke to me. That made me feel like shit about myself all over again. I know those feelings. I wish that cutting out booze (it would be so easy) would lead me to losing more weight, but I don’t drink all that much to begin…
I’m genuinely surprised to see this today. Last night I explained the whole story to my wife - Theil to yesterday - and figured that the site was done. It wasn’t a KSK-style fuck off, but yesterday really felt like the end. It felt strange to say out loud how much this site has meant to me (I started reading just…
Just wanted to say it fucking blows that Barry got fired yesterday. There are relatively few constants left in life, but Barry writing the first article of the day for Deadspin was one of them. I’ve been coming to Deadspin regularly for about 10 years now. I love this place. So many laughs, so many great reads. The…
Farmers has pulled Spanfeller’s big ad buy. This is the type of incompetence that deserves an ESPN 30 For 30.
Waited until the final second, then nailed the 55 yarder. Well played.
lololololollololol they are so bad at this!
Drew, is it true that neither Jim Spanfeller nor Paul Maidment ever had friends, a girlfriend, made any sports team, or has seen The Godfather? Is it also true that Jim smells like sweaty hobo taint and Paul smells like a urinal puck?
I know something is amiss since I opened DS this morning and didn’t see a single article. I desperately want to tell the staff to stick it to your corporate overlords, however it is not my job to lose. I hope you all find a way to stick together through the tension you are experiencing at the office. If the owners…
Looks like the mini-24 hour strike is over? Nice to see you are back Drew. Let us know if we need to start meeting with you and the gang somewhere else. You know, this venue is cool and all, but the new owners are kinda dicks. We can always try somewhere new...
Drew. you have given me more entertaining, witty, and poignant CONTENT than any other writer i’ve followed in my life. thank you, and thank your colleagues for their tremendous work over the years.
