Sorry, we’re sticking to sporks. (Thanks to Dead_Elvis Inc.)

5 weeks minimum, not a month ^^
factory workers are probably around 7 weeks paid vacation with RTT (people get paid on the basis of 35h work week here, but work 39. The 4 hours/week are converted into RTTs, which are paid days off to add on top of paid vacation time.).
So basically everyone here gets between 5 (execs…

We really could do with more of that French work ethic here, rather than insisting that Americans should work themselves into an early grave as part of a rigged economic system that they will never win in.

It was right around the time a private equity firm bought up my town and started making everything even remotely fun illegal. It was a lot like the movie Footloose, but in reverse, and without a young Kevin Bacon to make it entertaining. I was at least lucky enough that they didn’t run the foodies out of town; they…

In high school. Also they closed comments on Deadspin, so lets all go trick or treating for the flesh of the rich.

I want to say my last year doing it was when I was 13. I think it was mainly out of fear of being judged as being a “child” by my peers more than anything else. I’m sure 14 year-old me loved candy every bit as much as my younger incarnations. I think the idea was that the trick-or-treating ritual was for “little…

It would not surprise me if you peeled back the corporate layers and Peter Thiel was there bankrolling the purchase of the sites. That is as rational explanation for this shit as anything else. 

They are either monumentally incompetent, or so monumentally petty as to be throwing millions of dollars down a black hole to destroy the site as revenge for some sort of perceived slight.

Someone accidentally used “my” peanut butter and holy shit did I hear it. I don’t usually submit to my kids’ demands, but this is one of those things that they bring up over and over again for years that got to the point where I couldn’t even enjoy crunchy peanut butter out of spite. My chia hack works fine. 

Admittedly, I got a ton of Deadspin shares over from Jalopnik over the years and worked the closest with members of that staff when covering motorsports, but it’s honestly heartwarming to see so many people voice their support for Deadspin’s writers and community through this.

Waited until the final second, then nailed the 55 yarder. Well played.

Wearing a John Rocker jersey is the same as wearing a MAGA hat.

I’m also Will.

Drew. you have given me more entertaining, witty, and poignant CONTENT than any other writer i’ve followed in my life. thank you, and thank your colleagues for their tremendous work over the years.

Palmer’s is garbage candy. If this was Deadspin (RIP?), the rankings would

Give young people all the money. They’ll spend it. The economy will grow more robust. It’s certainly better than giving it to the crusty old white dude who’ll just stuff it under his 32 goose feather mattresses.
