Alan, in this hack-eat-hack world of Gawker, thank you so much for being civil, and kind, and interested in learning. I learn so much from Lifehacker! I know I will miss your calm, steady presence.

These are all good points, but I’d like to point out that the very thing eating away at our attention is the internet and our attempt to inhale lots and lots of information all day long without rest. And part of what is so frustrating about this is that we have entered a new age of endless information, but the…
There is a moral dilemma in addressing Hollywood’s near-unanimous collusion with Woody Allen. I believe that all the actors who have worked with him should be asked the question: weren’t you bothered by the rumors and allegations? And we have a right to let those answers inform our future movie choices.
The Fathers of Deadspin is a terrible, hack band.
I know about situations like this. Sounds like the dad believes that his situation is impossible, that he has no real choices, and that he must give in to his children’s bad behavior, lest he traumatize them. He cannot distinguish between discipline and abuse, and our country is plagued by this attitude. “No” is not a…
Lying about it is one thing. But the clip of his answer to the question pisses me off. He acts like it’s stupid and way out of bounds to bring up. Deny that your friend was a gross dick wagger all you want, but you didn’t have to make the kid feel like a fool just for asking. Seriously, Jon Stewart is an asshole.
Have you ever considered the possibility that without Jezebel bringing those rumors to the public the parties involved would never have collaborated with the New York Times in the first place?
How long did it take for Cosby’s accusers to come forward? How long for Weinstein’s accusers?
Oh, that is an old song and dance, for years commenters from other blogs have contracted girl cooties from Jezebel. It would be funny except that they are grown ass adults.
It seems to me that etiquette itself is up for grabs in 2017. Despite numerous articles about phone etiquette, people still don’t act right.
No one wants to listen to you on speaker phone. Also, if you’re going to get into a screaming match with your mom on the phone, the bus is not the right place for that.
Well, they have launched an ambitious project. Overall, I think they’ll succeed, but they need room for trial and error. If it gives them breathing space to try new things, I’m all for disputng their Nielsen ratings.
I wonder if the model-to-Weinstein pipeline involved a certain famous photographer. Thing is, Terry could not have been more obvious about his rapey behavior. Jezebel has been reporting on him for years and nobody in the business (to my knowledge) has ever acted on it.
I grew up in a part of the country with no street parking. Just parking lots as far as the eye could see. I flunked the parallel parking portion of my drivers test. It’s just not a part of some city designs.
Congratulations on your weight loss, but the cardinal mistake of health and weight loss is trying to make a personal experience a universal one. We all have different kinds of bodies, limitations, and abilities.
Yes and no. The real world expects real results, but the big goal of parenting is making sure that the kid is giving a good faith effort and stretching their potential, whether or not they succeed or fail. As long as the parent understands that everything is golden. It’s only the parents that follow behind their…
I think this is a great suite of ideas about managing your own attitude. I’ve noticed the degree to which people needlessly create drama in their work environment. It’s a pity because, ultimately, people really just want to do their work and then go home for the day. Help others arrive at that goal by minimizing drama…
My take on Gladwell is that he is good at assimilating a lot of disparate information and then packaging it tidily, but that doesn’t mean we have to take everything he says as the gospel. He takes us halfway to the truth, but it’s up to us to apply skepticism.
I cannot imagine killing my spouse and then having a desperate urge to still fuck them. I really do not understand how the male ego works at all. It’s horrifying.
I’ve started to wonder about the role that restaurant and takeout food play in this problem. Or maybe it’s just that we have this dizzying variety of food at our fingertips, and the chicken nuggets and pizza will always seem like a more attractive option. But if your kids are accustomed to home cooked vegetables on a…
Another exclusionary subsection of fans: Lifehacker dudes. I have stopped counting the number of times I have been told that Lifehacker is not for ladies. It seems absurd now because, with evergreen material, it makes sense to broaden Lifehacker’s horizons. But when it began it was more tech-centric. And by that logic…
Makes sense. He had a gorgeous head of hair. I don’t know the statistics, but I bet JFK was popular with lady voters.
