Any reboots of old TV shows should be required to follow the “Brady Bunch Movie” formula where the cast of characters are still operating like they are in the decade of the original show and the rest of the world has moved on. I know plenty of people who say “but that won’t work for 90s shows, the 90s wasn’t that…

It’s worth examining what exactly are we nostalgic for.

I’m in the same boat in that io9 is the only one I really navigate to at this point.

Every news site that picks up a Splinter contributor is better for it. I loved you, Splinter, and the Internet is a worse place without you.

While I certainly appreciate this post and I’m genuinely glad that the Splinter staff got to do a proper farewell post, the fact that it’s coming weeks after G/O Media and Jim Spanfellatio unceremoniously suffocated the site with a pillow, followed by decapitating their marquee site is just the goddamn perfect turd on…

Those were the same websites on which I enjoyed ungrayed status as well. Feels almost like a personal affront (and a badge of honor) that those were the sites targeted by the greed-monster hacks that took over G/O Media.

Thank you all and thank you for this. After Splinter was killed by idiot assholes, I never removed the icon from my fave sites and would periodically click on it, mostly as a sad little visit to the site that, before its untimely demise, I’d check OVER A DOZEN TIMES A DAY and miss so very much. I did today and found…

This was legit my most frequented blog on the internet. I will miss all of you.

I loved Splinter / Deadspin because...

I'm disappointed with lack of sports content. 🙁

This story isn’t scary, and there are so many other stories on here that I doubt anyone will read it...but it IS true, I wanted to share it somewhere, and folks in my normal life would probably roll their eyes, so...

I thought it was just the worlds slowest rimshot gif. I guess I can stop staring at it now.

I didn’t think it would happen this soon but he’s starting to unravel! He was very angry at a news conference this morning and a really dark orange!

It’s always so surprising to hear “Christians” just totally miss the whole point of the New Testament.

At what point will we admit that we’re now living under tyrannical despotic government? A lawless, raving leader, his criminal henchmen installed in the top posts of law enforcement. Threats, lies, intimidation, extrajudicial killings by his followers at his urging. What’s the difference between the US and Turkmenistan…

Generally agreed, and it would be nice if people in the media actually used word like lie and liar about Trump. But I think gaslighting works well here because it’s a more specific, more elaborate thing. When my wife asks me if I actually ate sixteen oreos for breakfast and I deny it, that’s a lie. But if I were to…

I’m so white, I make Casper look tan, so I’ll leave it to other people to outline ways to be a good white liberal, but I’m preeeetty sure it doesn’t involve doing what this guy wants to do.

I’m still unclear on how much to tip in this scenario.
