Carson’s a pretty good guy. Not really energetic or memorable, he doesn’t really seem to be a person who you’d meet at a party and then want to ask to join your kickball team right after. But he does seem like someone you wouldn’t mind listening to as they tell you the top movies/music videos/TV shows of the week.

Seacr…

Online can work, but real person meetups seem to be more organic, there’s something more special about the “unexpectedness” of it, while online you’re trying to meet the other person’s expectations of how they think you are.

1. Be atractive

2. Don’t be unatrractive.

3. Be funny and have a funny conversation

4. Actually resemble and act like the person you represent yourself to be online.

5. Engage in conversation with date.

6. Escalate conversation to casual flirting.

7a. Engage casual flirting to possible request for date to “come back to your…

Joanna is only 26 and is the Features Editor at Jezebel. I’m 27 and still cook discount sirloin steaks on a George Foreman in my living room. What am I doing with my life?

A lot of creators don’t actually do media appearances, they’re just there for their designated amount of time and sit in their chair and chill. So io9 may not have had the ability to schedule an interview with these people, and had to do the whole standing in line thing instead. A lot of it too is just running into…

As narratively compelling as it is to have this whole thing take place in meatspace with physical androids, wouldn’t this all be much more sustainable in some sort of VR?

You have a point, but couldn’t you say that for pretty much anything? Plus, there’s a certain allure to being able to venture into a place that is…

I really tried to like this show and was really pulled in by the pilot, but dozed off pretty much through the second half. The characters were incredibly boring, save for the one primary Nazi guy, who was great. But really just failed to leap to anything meaningful beyond its incredibly intriguing premise.

To be fair, I probably would’ve ahd the same response when being under pressure like that. And then immediately after stepping off stage, I would have thought of something, not even a leader I admire, but one I know like “Justin Trudeau!” or “Netanyahu!” and then think of a BS politically sound reason why they’re a…

Counterpoint: Jurassic World was good

When are they going to update your title to Senior Writer at Deadspin?

But it’s Brooklyn! And they’re girls in their 20s who don’t have everything figured out! That’s good TV right?

Has integrating Ashley, HamNo and Sarge (might have been one more) been a seamless process? HamNo seems the most knowledgable and familiar with sports (my friend saw him once in NYC and said he looked huge) and while Ashley definitely has the Deadspin sardonic mentality, she seems to cover, well, everything instead of…

Who’s the coolest new staffer, and why is it Ashley?

That’s a really good headline

Shame, gotta do those benches and squats to get the job.

If a student wants to go and get a BA in french culinary dance at NYU and take out copious amounts of loans for that, knowing that the jobs available in French culinary dance are limited but they want to feel enriched by it until they get a job at a Nissan dealership in White Plains after graduation, that’s all on…

Yeah but did you get an awesome school theme song like this?

Thank you for calling him a comedic actor instead of a comedian, very big differentiator there, he never considered himself a comedian.

But yeah this sucks. Dude did not have an easy life, found he had a talent for acting, and an even better talent at comedic acting. Met the zany Mel Brooks and made movies with him,…

Bobby, please write more about Elon Musk and Amber Heard’s Rand romance...most unusual...

I think, and I might be wrong, that it was more Jezebel that was against the Fappening than Gawker was. Or rather, Gawker said that the Fappening had happened, and Jezebel was more the publication that said it was bad.
