For a second I thought this was the “game devs share footage of their unfinished work” post Read more

Yesterday, today, tomorrow, Susan Collins will always do as she is told. Read more

I forgot that I switched my Gawker login over to my Google account. It had been on my Facebook, which I nuked years ago. As for the greys, my guess is something happened during a Kinja update a while back. Who knows. Read more

This isn’t a case of clocks being right twice a day. This about an asshole being an asshole all day. Read more

You would think D-Wade would have a greater appreciation of unplanned things Read more

I am going to enjoy watching Susan Collins burn, just like I loved watching Arlen Specter go down kicking and screaming. She’s the real victim, of course.

Hell yeah! And bring back the nut-hugger BIKE coaches’ shorts too.

Excuse me madam, you’re standing still in a no parking zone. If you don’t get a move on that body, I’ll be forced to give you a ticket ...

Jesus Christ. Sometimes bullshit is bullshit. Read more

I’ve found the word patronizing and pandering in general, or at least a sign of lazy writing/commentary — but if dining and celebrity chefdom is the subject where we start rolling back badass’s overuse, so much the better. Hope others follow. Read more
