What’s the deal with Deadspin’s new apparent obsession with referring to everything as “trash” or “garbage?” It’s oddly pervasive.

I love that you’re deleting comments, Jia. That’s rich after all the whining about how “If it’s true, we publish it.”

“This is ‘Mel0” with his number of Final appearances, 0, as the “o.”

This post was even longer than Tommy Craggs’ self-pitying resignation letter!

Damn! I thought you’d know for sure!

Yesterday, you wrote a touching piece about how Craggs rescued you from misery, self-loathing and crippling bitterness. Then, you write this and I think Craggs still has work to do.

I think it’s a little like paying application fees to colleges or grad schools. I’m sure some of it is profit, but it does cost the NHL money to review proposals and research the viability of cities.

You leave my mother out of this!

If you’re not funny or talented, you’re only left with snark. It’s a blogger’s Great Equalizer!

Because they’re cripplingly insecure.

Zen and the Art of Mediocrity Maintenance

That was hilarious, but when they showed the replay of it from another angle, you could see that when the caddy’s hand went up, Johnson had closed his eyes in prayer, and when he finally opened them, it appeared he couldn’t see the hand because it was in his periphery.

I’ve been good at stuffing existential horror and the vastness of time and space down deep, for many years now. However, I remember that for about two years, around the age of 9, I dealt with something very similar to what you described when you talk about “feeling scale” and “vertigo”-like feelings.

Agreed.
