Pour One Out for Deadspin (RIP) and the Inspiring Journalists Who Quit Today En Masse
I'll be the first to admit that I forgot Zac Efron was a thing. It hasn't occurred to me that we haven't really seen much of him this year until now. - (Lainey)
I also forgot that Meg Ryan and John Mellencamp were engaged. Were engaged. - (Dlisted)
RIP, Deadspin. Thank you for everything, you talented, glorious, principled writers. Good luck and may you all land softly where your talents are appreciated.
By quitting, Deadspin's staff aren't just principled, they sent a critical fuck you to every private equity ogre that desecrates great publications. The only way 2 stop it from happening is stopping them from being able to turn a profit. Long live Deadspin. They were the realest

I remember so very clearly when Marlena was possessed by the Devil. I also remember that I had to travel for work and I was SO concerned that my VCR would screw up recording Days of our Lives (or Days, as the cool kids called it. No cool kids called it that.) that I paid my neighbor to ALSO record it as a back-up. - (SYFY Wire)
Genny brought us this: "This clip of a Nationals manager getting ready to fight the umpires set to "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is almost art."
I just want to point out that this meltdown happened during "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" which is not clear on the Fox broadcast, and it's hilarious pic.twitter.com/pHFJwSmLMQ

After reading a Nalini Singh short story, teresaelectro decided to dive into one of Singh's long-running paranormal series.
