As a Rays fan: It ain’t cheating. Glasnow gave away the information, Astros used it to their advantage, as I would expect any team would.

Seriously The Root has the best writers, hands down. 

It got shutdown and the staff was probably laid off. The rest of the staff either won’t mention it or they are not allowed to.

ok, i have a slightly off topic question. were did splinter go? i noticed looking for it, all the posts are from Wednesday. and suddenly its not in the bar, so did they fire the whole division? seems weird since i would assume politics based reporting would be generating clicks. but absent a main subheading, figured…

Agree that the commenters on Splinter were not the best. But I’m surprised they have less traffic since it is politics driven?

I actually regularly read Splinter. It wasn’t the greatest but it somewhat assuaged the Gawker-shaped hole in my life. I could have done without the regular Hillary-bashing (ooh so EDGY), but still, RIP my friend.

This is not necessarily singling Bernie Sanders out, but just an observation and irritation about how gender roles play out in a political campaign, particularly a presidential one. When a man runs for office, very often his wife gives up her career and her dreams to stand by his side and support him. It’s almost…

I hope this means that Jezebel will do more political content.  I prefer the Jezebel commertariat and writers anyways.  But I was often on Splinter, if only to stand up to the trolls making up lies about Elizabeth Warren.

I’m sorry, but if you wanted more evidence that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian plant; here you have it. The early state primaries are “rigged” because she didn’t make the debate stage? STFU. The DNC this time is bending over backwards to allow nobodies to make the debate stage (to a fault imo). This is why we continued to…

It is not in our national constitution. Bear with me, as I’m a bit rusty on this, but:

It was around a tad longer than that because of its earlier days as Fusion.

I was wondering about that - I occasionally click on a cross-posted article, but overall rarely go to Splinter now. I absolutely read The Root more than splinter, and while it has a lot to do with the superior authorship, it also has to do with the commentary from readers being of a much higher quality. 

Eric Trump calling out somebody’s son living an undeserved life of privilege on their dad’s name?

Weight is a street term referring to selling drugs in large quantities. In other words, he wasn't selling dime bags or zips (ounces), he was selling by the pound. 

Ugggh how does a bitch get out of the greys?  I’m nice and my mom says I’m cool.  

The only thing that can stop a bad guy in the women’s showers is a good guy in the women’s showers.

It is undoubtedly a real dumb controversy. In fact you could argue it will (maybe already has started) to backfire. It takes a real issue that women dealt with (and still deal with to this day) and then chosen not to believe that it happened because easily explained inconsistencies. Way to fire up female voters by…

January 5, 2015. I had just told my boss I was pregnant a week or so before.
