It’s weird how the only people who have this take on JRE are the ones who apparently don’t watch it. If you cherry-pick the right-wing guys, sure. But I’m a left-leaning PhD candidate and I watch JRE all the time. Not sure who wins here, but talk about condescending. You purity-test bros are really embarrassing.

I’m confused about the AVC’s position on joe rogan, the article wasn’t clear enough.  I need better instructions on who I’m allowed to listen to and who I should hate.

“A 2015 Mini Cooper. Engine bay might be a bit tight, but there’s no rust, so this job will be easy!” I told my naive self before agreeing to fix my friend’s engine mount.

Time to get a Harbor Freight extractor extractor.

I was looking at a couple of leftover new 2017 Fiat 124 roadsters at a local dealer, and the salesperson stated that FCA won’t let them lease them because they are too old. Do I call BS on it or is this a common policy once “new” cars have been sitting around for a few years? Thanks.

Maybe the whole back of the truck is a giant NOS bottle?

Gearing is likely as well. Plus these trucks are known for their insane crawler gear.

“I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare” seems like the most appropriate reference!

I rent cars for work all the time. I always treat them just fine - although I typically let me own car idle for at least 30 seconds before taking off. With rentals, its simply “start the car, fasten my seatbelt, and get going.”

What sort of shitty Bosche software package doesn’t recognize the car is being crash tested when it’s on a sled moving sideways at 50km/h!?

I still remember the days when rear bumpers on pickups were a cost plus option?

I’m pretty sure Tommy Callahan did the best explanation of cheap vs expensive brake pads ever

I am really pulling for you all. It’s clear your bosses are shit for brains. And I’m so glad you’re organized. Solidarity!

Drew, if Deadspin dies, who gets custody of Sill Bimmons?

If I was as bad at my job as Jim Spanfeller and Paul Maidment are at running previously successful media outlets, I’d be swiftly fired and might even face criminal charges. Maybe I should think about becoming a rich, unctuous failson, as they seem to be able to avoid consequences for all their bumbling cons.

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…

Well said, Will. 

Fantastic graphic. The art department is one of the best in the biz.

Wait, this may get lost in the chaos but the header image up there is absolutely fantastic. 

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…
