I don’t even have to see the autoplay videos because I’ve fixed my browser. But I just locked my work computer and a notification is on the screensaver about the thing playing, with an option to pause.

Deadspin’s bosses, turn this ridiculous shit off, it’s not making you money and it’s pissing off all your readers…

Can’t believe I hadn’t discovered this until right now but in Chrome you can set a site’s permissions to mute all sound by default. Just click on the lock icon next to the URL up top and scroll down to Sound. Sucks if you ever want to actually listen to anything on the site because you have to go unmute it in settings…

I just want to read one article without having to mute “Hey Lauren, I like your top.” If I wanted to watch Kinja video content, I’d unmute the video, or click on the original links (the Punjabi-Canadian hockey story was excellent video journalism just btw). Auto-play audio is fucking annoying, no matter what site is…

Too many auto-playing ads. 

Your lede is bad and you should feel bad. Frankly the only gift in this is that his wreck affected no one other than himself. 

Shitty gift or deserved gift?

Yes. Let us all hammer on the NBA about China until Hong Kong is free. For lo, I have no ties to the industries that prop-up this authoritarian dictatorship, and thus am completely absolved in my criticism.

Don’t be pedantic. If Silver wanted the guy fired, he would have been ended up fired, or at least suspended or had some punishment imposed. There is lots of soft power in situations like this. Morey didn’t get punished because Silver didn’t think a punishment was appropriate here.

The point being made by a lot of…

A lot of people in the 24-48 hours after the story first broke were confidently declaring that Morey was toast and would surely get fired shortly. It would have been really easy for Silver to buckle under to the explicit demands of the Chinese government. But it seems as soon as he didn’t, the internet outrage mob…

I don’t know, risking a billion and a half dollars to prove you’re not China’s stooge kind of shows that you are not China’s stooge. Anyway, it would be nice if the President of the United States showed an ounce of concern for Americans being threatened with getting fired because a foreign government took issue with a…

But what does LeBron think?

I guess we’ll have to take their word for it that Kim Jong Un scored 10 goals, 5 touchdowns, 8 homeruns and 15 wickets.

You think he is distracted now, wait till he sees the guy that followed her out.

I haven’t listened to any of his music and all I know about him I learned from here.

Can’t, I’m at work.

You do you, but I don’t touch the harder stuff anymore, myself.

You should probably stay away from the comedy if you're going to take it that literally. 

The only way this could be more Chicago is if you ended up blacked out at the Hangge Uppe later that night.

Maybe it was Cody Parkey’s fault for not getting it above the height at which it could be tipped? I mean, would it be his fault if it hit the long snapper in the back of the head? Yes it would. So maybe he’s responsible for the height of the ball!

yeah, but their goal was to end up elsewhere not where they left their cars.
