Maybe things are different in LA but are emotional support animals really A Thing or did he just see one this one time on an airplane? I think I've seen a total of 3 of them over the past decade but maybe I dont travel in the same circles of a thought leader, content provider and founder like Simmons.

1. Yes they are a thing, just go to any major airport and there are a lot of them.

Deadspin is about as successful as it's ever been in terms of page views in large part because of the non sport stuff but David Roth (one of like four people on the internet who can actually write about Donald Trump well) saying mean things about the president makes my rich friends mad :(

Right on cue...

As a Twitter idiot who hasn't logged on in years, is there any place (or any awesome goon) where I can find a list of all the (former) Deadspin and related folks twitter info and start following them?

The tweet was already deleted, which article was it?

It was this:

The OC Register just deleted the article though after the tweet brought it back from the dead. Mark Whicker still writes multiple articles a week :/

Also here is the original Deadspin post Tommy Craggs where wrote about it:

I listened to the Whitlock radio show from last week. First of all, he is great on the radio. He had people from both sides of the Peyton Manning story on and just asked good questions and did not try to run them over.

....

tl;dr
1) Whitlock needs a radio show. His tumblr is awful, his twitter has become awful, but he is great on the radio.
2) Shaun King is a lunatic and if he told me the sky is blue I'd go outside to double check.

I found it, Feb / 2016

I really wish the defector had a monthly thing instead of a whole year commitment.
They do, I think you just have to click the little switch where it says annual / monthly.



Defector is a good website, and I am glad the Deadspin team is back (mostly)

I made one until they make an official. It only updates once an hour, and its just headline links:

This seems like the best place to ask this. I have a Defector subscription, but every time I go to the site I have to sign in again. It's the only place where I don't stay automatically signed in. Does anyone else have this issue? Signing in every time is very annoying.

I just cache refreshed, signed out and signed back, and tried a few times and I seem to stay signed in fine. Maybe it depends on what level sub you have? I dont have the commenting sub but I think remember reading people in the comments were having a similar issue.

Yeah, it's rather patently obvious that Defector launched either 1) without the input of an actual designer or UX expert or 2) with its design driven by the child or other relative of one of the staff members. You know, the old "my son took a graphic design class last year" thing.

What? The site was designed and made by https://alley.co/ it's literally on the bottom of the website

Also you can just subscribe to the RSS feed that is posted on the site if you want a chronological list of articles without having to go to the homepage
