    Thanks Tim!!

    I just got an internship at Dictionary.com writing content pieces related to words, literature etc. I have always admired you guys at Gawker—Gizmodo Media. No joke, many of you have been an inspiration to me, blogging wise. Any non-ironic advice for me? Particularly about writing great content that lots of people

    You can’t claim to be honoring Native Americans by referring to them as “Indians” - they’re not Indians! Are the people who run this organization completely insane? You realize the conquistadors labeled them “Indians” because they thought they landed in India? And we’re honoring the Native spirit by referring to them

    I really like Olympic tennis. It’s a fast tournament with a limited amount of sets played. It was great in London and I have also enjoyed it in Rio.

    You somehow seemed funnier than usual today, Magary. Keep it up.

    This is a viral marketing stunt.

    I’m all for creative uniform design, but the blue jerseys look like they’re covered in an insane amount of dandruff.

    I can’t get past the excruciatingly condescending tone of this writing. I bet you’re some prize, Charlotte. You make a lot of good points, but the tone is so yuck.

    Clueless? Don’t you think this is a deliberate effort to rehabilitate Peterson’s image?

    “I hope you are barfed on by one of your kids everyday until the reaper finally takes you.”

    What is the point of this article? No interesting developments, no legitimate insider information. The writer simply recycles the same Deadspin take on Grantland I’ve already read 3-4 times since Simmons got fired. You guys are just beating a dead horse at this point.

    Sickening how these publications frame their evil machinations. Oh, no, we’re not STALKING anybody. We’re certainly not INVADING PRIVCY for profit. These demigods are simply FLAUNTING so hard that we have no choice but to document and publish their every action. It’s what the public wants.

    I’d like to see how Drew would fair against Mayweather in a fight. This article would have been better if Drew challenged Mayweather at the end. Come on Magary, you’re not a coward, are you?

    Awesome story. I have always wondered about the creators of these images. Good to know the designer is getting paid and not letting Hot Topic make all the $$$.

    No Lupe Fiasco? You're missing out, his new album is amazing. Pretty good list otherwise, though.

    *shots fired* you took down an old, rich guy who's still getting paid for his creative work. Take that, Stan! How dare you amass business opportunities and proliferate your success?

    I work for Alameda County and coordinate an after school program which helps children with their homework. The county pays me decently, but the program is entirely free. I have never, ever been tipped for providing this free service. I don't expect to be tipped, nor do I bemoan those who don't tip me.

    As a white person, I don't think the proliferation of "nigga" is necessarily a good thing. That being said, who am I to tell black people how to address each other? If that's a cultural trope, I don't think anyone can wave a magic wand and make "nigga" disappear. At the end of the day, the word "nigga" is symptomatic

    All-Star level post, Drew. The game itself is just complete shit, but the real problem here is the "culture" surrounding it. I feel so, so bad for the thousands (millions?) of children who idealizes these idiots who do "Let's Play" videos. When I was a kid, video games were definitively an anti-social activity because

    I don't think gaming is dead either. I just think there's only so much that can be accomplished through this medium. Video games aren't the same as when we were 10 years old playing Final Fantasy 7. It seems like most video game enthusiasts hype up releases like The Order as some ideal playing experience that's going
