Really off topic: Since Splinter shut down I’m finding I’m getting itchy not having my snarky political fix. Where did all the political hot takes move to? Jez? The Root? I need it!
What is Deadspin may never die, but rises again harder and stronger
100%. I had conversations with friends way back in seasons 4 and 5 where we were talking about “geez, Dany is great and all, but she’s got a bit of violent, authoritarian streak to her, doesn’t she?” The problem was they went from hinting at that like once a season to all of the sudden it being the ONLY trait she had,…
I think this is a very good description of the situation. Season 8 failed in seasons 5-7 when they didn’t set up enough to make a well paced ending of logical (but still surprising) sequences and actions on the part of the characters.
GMG was/is the one corner of the internet where I’m NOT afraid to read the comments. It’s been a good 10+ years, guys.
I don’t give a shit about sports but I’d read great articles on Deadspin constantly. I don’t give a shit about cars, but I was frequently exposed to great reads on Jalopnik because the sites are all connected. I’m not black but I’ve read some amazing content on The Root. I can only assume other readers are like me,…
The cross-site revolt makes me very happy.
Here’s all the shit we really couldn’t cover today:
Fuck Jim Spanfeller, who is a herb
Right - I saw this and before i saw that they chose to step away, I thought maybe this was Disney second guessing them after that GoT news yesterday
They should have started to show her slow decent into madness right after Viserion died and just kept building on it. It would have been believable that she would burn the city if they better showed her craze after loosing two of her babies, mormont, her horde, being upstaged in the battle against the night king,…
Cece needs to stop it. Singing “yeh-yeh”, “yah-yah”, “yeah-yeah-yee” and “yow” are hardly the hill she should die on. There’s a whole world of yodelers that might come for her if she wants to go there.
My go-to has always been a study glass pipe. When I was younger, I reveled in a three-chambered, spiral-carbed, ice-bepinched bong that sounded like a Ferrari when I hit it, but it was WAY too much effort to keep clean and my (now) wife hated that having a bong in the house essentially tattled to all our houseguests…
I’m gonna clue all the white people reading this in on something, a “pork shank” is a pig’s foot. It’s that country ass stuff that your grandparents stopped eating immediately after they moved to the city.
It’s the smell of a cashed-out bowl that makes them unpopular. I have to be discreet due to my job, so I can’t have anything that stinks on me. Now, I still smoke joints because of this little baby below, but my preference is for the vape cartridges because you really can smoke them anywhere. (They do still smell like…
I vape because I like to get high without inhaling acrid smoke. I quit smoking cigarettes about 8 years ago and I just can’t tolerate that method for getting my sweet sweet THC. I do enjoy gee gaws though.
If there is a video, I’m sure it will autoplay for you.
Hot take:
Smoking a bowl is still fine, and even good! But bringing a bowl in public is the equivalent of bringing a gigantic handle of liquor to a place and screaming loudly while you drink it, compared to a nice conspicuous flask (and vape).
