You don’t have to do this man.

Michael Harriot: Secretary of Education 

Hello, we are currently down people and yet five of us will be on tonight liveblogging and writing about the debates as ever. One post does not signal a change in editorial strategy! I realize and sympathize that there is a temptation to believe that we are flipping the switch given all the recent fuckery yonder, but…

I mean, who else would he be? He’s clearly some sort of magician or plane-hopping sorcerer with a plan. I wouldn’t put it past these showrunners to create a secondary, Snoke-esque Big Bad just for TV, but… why would you, when Flagg is already there?

All those body issues you had that you spend so much time describing, yeah, CupcakKe is helping cause those issues in other young girls.

Insensitive, yes - but still a sound critique: a famous person’s platform used to tout a potentially dangerous fast on a fan base that’s likelier to not know any better can still be fatal. Her not being black/not trying to understand some of the cultural aspects that come with our bodies does sting like hell, yes. But…

Doesn’t mean Jameela is wrong about it being dangerous if it’s not monitored by a medical professional. It’s essentially starvation. I have yet to read someone with an MD after their name that supporting that for weight loss.

There are two problems with Stadia.

Yeah, I took from that history that circumstance can make monsters out of anyone. Is Annie evil? No, she’s unstable and sometimes myopically selfish. Is Rita evil? No, she’s deeply wounded and prone to lashing out at both herself and those who have hurt her. Is Annie’s dad evil? No, he’s just low-grade crappy, and…

Yeah, I had my own reservations about this episode, but that entire paragraph you quote just had me shaking my head in puzzlement. 

It makes sense to have everybody in Annie’s world blame outside forces for their actions because that is pretty much what she does in Misery and showing her upbringing explains so much. A father who should be on meds but won’t take them, or let Annie take them, while keeping Annie from the outside world and the…

Shutting down the only dedicated politics website in your portfolio right before the 2020 election, one of the most consequential of our lifetime, kicks into high gear. Essentially shutting down the second-most highly trafficked website in your portfolio because one out of every twenty five posts rankles you. I’m not…

Can you guys ask the venture capitalists to make articles take up less space? It’s kind of hard for me to watch both of the “recent videos” that started playing in two separate places when I’ve got four or five lines of text distracting me.

WHY ARE “RECENT VIDEOS FROM DEADSPIN” AUTO-PLAYING. MAKE IT STOP. I AM SO FUCKING DONE JESUS FUCKING CHRIST QUIT RUINING DEADSPIN.

No one screwed over Moore. Moore knew what he signed up for, but did it anyway. I’d rather not join the vocal minority of mentally-stunted comic fanboys who never grew over their Moore phase. It was embarrassing in the 90s when we’d had time to grow up after reading his work, and it’s embarrassing now.

Silent Violent Haze is also the name of the new Ben and Jerry’s flavor specifically marketed at the lactose intolerant.

It looks like a less interesting, Nickelodeon-version of „Slay the Spire“, which actually is a great game in comparison to this UI clusterfuck, lifeless character abomination.

My job as a critic is to tell folks what I think. I think Wildlands is trash. I said so in my review and I stand by it here. This sometimes changes, by the way. When I reviewed Seige as a freelancer, I didn’t like it. Now? It’s grown into something far beyond that initial form. No Man’s Sky is maybe the most high…
