The coming and going of Krispy Kreme in Minnesota was really something to behold. I recall the first one opening in a rather far-flung suburb and it was perceived as such a big deal that local police were assigned to control traffic and crowds. There was a massive line. Having previously tried the product, I simply…

My greatest Halloween faux paus was going to a party dressed up as a competent media executive and then pissing everyone off so much they all left.

I know this sounds weird but I keep thinking about the holidays. Being stuck at some family get together, getting annoyed at the shit they are talking about and then retreating to a quiet spot to check Deadspin for the annual list of things people got stuck in them or Drew’s Williams Sonoma catalog review, just to get…

I feel like it is. If the writers and readers basically left enmasse, it would be a fitting end and maybe tank any remaining value these sites have.

I’m fucking sitting here on my couch in my silent living room literally barely able to see the keys through tears. This fucking blows.

This will be the first weekend in 13 years I do not post on Deadspin.

I checked and posted multiple times per day EVEN ON VACATION or when supposedly unplugged.

Deadspin FOREVER

Have you guys heard of the mythical Span Jimfeller? It’s actually super scary, just this like raving lunatic monster with no loyalty or savvy. Super fucked up.

Glad to hear it. The funny thing about those books is that they essentially get better as they go along. The actual Song of the Lioness series, while being the best-known of the lot, is pretty sucky in comparison to The Immortals, which is really good, but it’s no Protector of the Small (the absolute peak of the…

I was disappointed that Steph wasn’t able to lock down the win, but I console myself with the fact that actually winning isn’t necessary for post-Bake Off success. I think Steph will have lots of great opportunities given how strong of a baker she is. She didn’t deserve to win the final, but I do think she was the…

Not going to lie, I watched this live in the UK with my Mum and thought it was a total downer of an episode. Steph’s meltdown was depressing after her performance for the rest of the season and also it didn’t seem like Alice was 100% either.

Here’s a great Unethical Life Pro Tip: Since the cowards at G/O Media have suspended comments at Deadspin, come on over to Lifehacker to tell Jim Spanfeller what a horrible piece of shit he is. Fuck you, Jim, you spineless waste of space!

I feel you. look up walking meditation. It’s more focused on the meditation & mindfulness than the walking.

This is the one thing I really miss about being a regular smoker, and the thing I haven't been able to replicate. Just five minutes, a few times a day, when you stop what you're doing and concentrate on your breathing. I've tried meditation but I can't take it seriously. Smoking made me do it without even trying.…

Quitting smoking was way harder than quitting anything else. In the mornings I drink my coffee on my porch with a blanket wrapped around me to get that quiet time outside. Not the same, but a nice way to start my day.

One: It’s a wedding;

Cornhole is just watered down horseshoes. In the old days we mostly played Drunken Hookup, anyway.

There were a couple hole-in-the-wall Chinese restaurants between my high school and my parents’ house. I started my freshman year riding the bus, but when I really thought about these places I rode past every day, I did the math. Rather than getting a pretty terrible school lunch and taking the bus home every…

Fucking hell. If you are older than 11, please put some fucking punctuation in that giant sentence.

I mean, the “twee vintage-inspired shtick” is my (and a whole lot of people’s) whole aesthetic but ok.
