And murdered close relatives

I thought the leading theory is that his dad was killed over a gambling debt. So call it "responsible for the murder of close relatives"

Of course they're gonna talk about the manifesto of the goddamn Unabomber like it has some "interesting ideas." Ugh just such pseudoscientific nonsense. Like he was a very intelligent math professor and engineer of some sort, but was certainly not the philosopher he seemed to think he was. It's all just a mish mash of typical, white male aggrandizing drivel, suggesting all of societies ills are the fault of the white man stooping down to others. It's really stupid and boring and I wish people would stop giving it credibility. I'm sure there are significantly less racist and more informed opinions on the idea that technological progression maybe hasn't helped as much as we think.
The really interesting thing about the Unabomber story is what they did to that guy at Harvard, it's absolutely bonkers and isn't discussed nearly enough when the Unabomber comes up.

Didn’t realize there were so many women’s sports fans on SAS. Can’t seem to find our wnba playoffs thread though.

bud, it's not hard to cop to not being into women's sports and also realize that perhaps the reason for that is lack of exposure and indoctrination.

I think it would be good for everyone to cover women's sports more but it seems weird to act like defector, which does it better than any mainstream site, is the problem here, or act like a fledgling subscription only website putting out a few more WNBA pieces is going to be the thing that causes the WNBA to overtake the NFL.

Anyway for like the 10,000 time the reason it seemed especially NFL heavy in the first few days is because they timed the launch to coincide with the start of the season and were trying to fit like two months of Magarey content into two weeks to make up for lost time.

oh yeah, i'm not on board with that particular criticism of defector. i'm happy with the output so far and will happily continue my subscription next year at this rate.

The Seattle Times editorial board has endorsed George W. Bush twice, Rob McKenna, rejecting Sound Transit 3, several Tim Eyman initiatives, Dave Reichert, and all the lovely candidates that won Seattle's municipal election. Only 2 of the 9 of the editorial board actually live in Seattle. They have some great reporters (and some real hack ones, of course) who's work gets hosed over by their garbage editorial board. There are better ways to get your news from that piece of poo poo paper.

thank you for this. i've known for a long time the times sucks, but could only find their sub-headline for when Sarah Hughes won gold over Michelle Kwan, and that they donated advertising to Rob McKenna.

That headline is literally like any other number of headlines I see them when they write about social issues.

And they pretty much never stopped talking about social issues and poo poo, just the quality of said writing being in question.

there was a period where no one was working at deadspin, so i would say they did stop talking for a bit.

i got David Roth to reveal that the first thing he got published was a voicemail he left his local paper expressing his opposition to renaming the Nets to the Swamp Dragons. i guess it's okay to reply to 6 year-old tweets sometimes
