Kipenzi was born in captivity. She was never wild. There are several sub-species of giraffe that are endangered. Zoos are critical in species preservation.

OK, so if it came off that way (and it seems it did), then that’s obviously on me, so let me clarify. There is nothing in the study that suggests that anything but a genuine friendship will lead to this — it’s not about being fakely supportive, it’s being a friend. And this isn’t a “how to” so much as a “isn’t this…

Hmm. What should we call it when our attractive friend leaves us to our unrequited love? Maybe there’s some kind of region or zone we could attribute the failure to.

Well, I was just making a joke. Maybe not a funny one, perhaps, but a joke nonetheless.

So is he banging other women? If not I tend agree with this comment:

It’s also about a world in which dinosaurs have names. And a world in which dinosaurs and humans can, if they overcome enough, be friends.

I simply tell people I can’t afford it. I don’t care really about saving Grace or anything though. If I can’t afford it or I don’t want to spend money on the even I simply say so. My friends know that about me. One shouldn’t care what other people thing about status quo participation

It’s like that time the NYPD stopped arresting people and writing tickets because they got their feels hurt.

Aw hell yeah, WYTS is back! Everybody dance!

Thanks for providing some content for the websites today Drew. I know you had this written probably weeks ago, but everyone else seems to have taken today off.

It’s great that he was a good friend. Before judging those nasty, filthy commenters that never knew him, though, maybe you should consider whether some of the people that Deadspin et al slag on might also be decent people who are beloved by their colleagues. This is what people—including Deadspin writers—do on the…

Why your team sucks is back! YASSSSSSS!!!

I love how this play was so amazingly awkward, even the official fell on his ass.

… “And then he did something real shitty. So maybe its best for him to move on, because a line was crossed and that line can’t be uncrossed.”

Good writers don’t make great editors the same way Good basketball players don’t make them Good GM’s.

Well written, Albert. I like Craggs too. It’s definitely worth reiterating that there are human consequences to many of the decisions we make / actions we take in the course of a day.

“Years later, David Geithner’s children would look back on the day that ruined their family forever and remark that it wasn’t a total loss - ‘a bunch of awful people realized the value of friendship, at least.’ ”

This is a good story and the sentiments are laudable and understandable. But nobody is laying mushroom clouds on Gawker. Somebody inside Gawker's own office did that when they hit “Publish” thinking they were laying a mushroom cloud on Conde Nast.

It all sucks...the whole thing. But you get the feeling the parties involved wouldn't change anything they did, so it also seems inevitable.
