But at least now there is a news article that can be cited in the Complaint to serve as a citation for the assertion that “Upon information and belief,  Defendant TheMaven ordered Defendant TheMavenROLLTIDE to form as an LLC, almost certainly in large part to avoid liability to persons in Plaintiff’s situation.” And…

As the 75% of Deadspin commenters who are lawyers can tell you, forming an LLC is not some magic wand that will protect the company from employment actions, anyway.

This is all terribly depressing but can we talk about how overly reliant these chuds are on using a pyramid in their diagrams. I know that as a real life not-very-successful business person, the first fucking thing I think of when I see a pyramid during a business presentation is, “oh these assholes are building a…

Always love plans that are literally based on the scheme of a pyramid.

So we should be expecting ghost-written articles now?

“Authentic Brand Groups” would be too obvious for a writers’ room.

This honestly makes me wonder: How do companies lay off their HR people? Who, like, hosts the meeting?

By my calendar, it is not Friday. What gives?

I’m still pissed that Parmenides marked Zeno down at the half-yard line in 435 BC. Replay would have fixed that.

What idiot called it A Philosopher’s Definitive (And Slightly Maddening) Case Against Replay Review and not A Chrysippus Story?

Nothing more American than being wrong, I guess.

Between this and Doctor Dao, United is the Vontaze Burfict of airlines.

This is the biggest hit I’ve seen laid on a number 11 who couldn’t handle drinks since Phil Simms.

Legal hit, the receiver was still within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.

They are way, way out of my league. I figure the Deadspin degenerates are more my speed.

1. How did it help you quit smoking if you have been Juuling for literal years? You have traded one bad nicotine delivery device for another - less researched - nicotine delivery device. There are cigarette abatement programs that would work much quicker than your plan.

I’m not going to pretend to stand on principle here. Vaping is incredibly annoying and the people who do it seem to think they can puff their clouds of who-the-fuck-knows-what anywhere they like because it’s not a cigarette. Thanks, asshole, I wanted to smell like grape/stale smoke the rest of the day.

This is a monstrous take. Wow, like it really sucks for you that getting your coconut cigarette juice is going to be slightly harder. Meanwhile massive corporations are marketing the hell out of this shit to my teenager, exactly the way cigarettes were marketed to teenagers for years. Vaping is big tobacco in a…

Supporting the side hustle of evil tobacco companies is, like, so cool. Keep on vaping and fucking up your blood pressure and heart, kids! /s

“I have been Juuling for years . . . Common sense would dictate that if vaping were so dangerous that we all need to stop vaping immediately, that people would have fallen sick before this summer.”
