Meanwhile, the "Trending on Related Blogs" corner is a Gawker article that is a boiled down version of a consumerist post.

If you replace "track" in the last sentence with "story" it makes a better conclusion to this piece.

In case nobody has let you know yet, you are the worst writer on deadspin.

The position taken in this article makes me profoundly uncomfortable. It promotes the creation of a two tier justice system. The assaulted are supposed to settle for something less than criminal justice as meted out by school officials, the accused are expected to submit without the legal protections of the court…

I'm curious to hear from people who have personally been triggered in a traditionally safe setting (e.g. a classroom). When there was a debate on a FB board about the statue at Wellesley, I noticed the a lot of concern about the potential for students to be triggered, but there was no testimony from someone who had…

What's the best way to get a writing spot for Deadspin? If I create my own Kinja and write there would any of you actually read it?

Why so many sub-sites? The Concourse, Shots, Regressing, Fittish, etc... Considering 90% of articles published on these get posted to the main page anyway? And then when I click a Regressing article, there's no 1-click way to get back to Deadspin (I have to use the drop-down box).

A commencement speaker isn't just a random guest lecturer. Inviting someone to be a commencement speaker is an endorsement from the college. Objecting to your school endorsing say, a war criminal, is not immature.

"What I don't like is that as Facebook currently exists, there's no way to designate that the owner of a profile has died. And the site isn't currently separating the dead from the living at all."

As someone who actually studies the science of how to teach people, all this common-core hate is bullshit. When we were in school, all we were taught was how to add and multiply, like a cook book. We never learned why we were doing it, and that made more advanced math a lot more difficult than it should have been.…

Why criticize anything that helps people? There's going to be someone that comes on here who was otherwise struggling, like we all do, with fitness, and maybe this nonsense gadget was helping them because it made it just a little more interesting or helpedthem set a routine and then here you go saying it's nonsense. …

Jez... please stop trying to write about scientific papers. You're all trying, I know, but please stop.

Oh, weird, the link disappeared when I reframed the post. We do a basic, nuts-and-bolts recipe version of every Foodspin column over on my personal Kinja blog. Here's the link to the one for pimento cheese:

I don't know about the other factors, but it seems to me that if you time your dive/slide so that you hit the ground the same time you touch the bag, there won't be any additional friction. But you know, I also thought the new Kinja was a horrible fucking format that would vastly reduce the number of comments I read…

Suggested syndication re-titles:

I am admittedly hopelessly unromantic, but that is really fucking stupid.

He's really overly verbose (and whiny).

Wow. I remember when Deadspin was a hilarious blog dedicated to sports. Now it's a sad part of the Gawker empire trying to sell me stuff I don't need for a commission. And auto-playing loud commercials when I click on links. Any recommendations to blogs that deliver what Deadspin used to be about would be very welcome.
