while I’m glad deadspin is no longer going with so much political stuff; it had already done it for so long I don’t see the benefit of stopping now.
Yeah the new owners telling them to only talk sports have put the final nail in the coffin.
So even when we do manage to flip a Senate seat we wind up with Josephine Manchin

Primary her

How does she vote?
Endorsing a primary challenger against a colleague is not a bad thing. Honestly the only thing that’s concerning there is the hanging with Republicans part.
I don’t know much about her so I believe that she sucks, but these aren’t very good reasons why.
dems wouldn’t have won that seat otherwise like joe you just accept it and move on.
Her historical “Trump Score” is terrible, but if you look only at the 116th Congress, it’s much better.
Still, she was nearly censured by the state Democratic Party last month for “failing to support the tenets of the 2016 Democratic Party platform”. The only reason it didn’t get a vote was they failed to file the paperwork on time. (LOL)
As a replacement, may I suggest Ruben Gallego?

Her Trump score is bad. Primary her for sure.
I basically only care about her stance on the filibuster which is bad. If you’re in favor of keeping it you’re trash.
I wonder if Deadspin is finished. Magary usually has his mailbag up by now. Entire site is just showing non sports news as a giant FU. The first comment in the Tim Hortons story is amazing.
Horton, here’s a poo!
well they’re owned by vulture capitalists now, so like SI yes they’re done.
Genuinely don’t understand that business model. I kind of do for SI, there is an underlying brand, but how the hell do you make money buying and nuking deadspin?
cut costs significantly, make it look for a few months that you vastly increased profit before all the data comes out that nobody goes to your site anymore, dump it to sucker, rinse repeat?
It’s a freeroll. You might get lucky and whatever dumb moves you make somehow work, and if you fail? Limited liability baby! Your salary and bonuses still got paid who cares whatever else happens.
I’m listening the Everglades Restoration Task Force meeting regarding the status of Everglades restoration. The group is listening to a presentation on the status of the coral reefs in the system and it is pretty dire. There’s a disease ravaging all the corals, and it has gotten so bad that they are pulling healthy corals out of the ocean to send them to labs to preserve them until they can be reintroduced to the ocean some time later. They are describing it as an act of desperation to try to preserve the reef.
Any time I hear actual scientists talk about the state of the environment it makes it so obvious that we are so fucked as a planet. We have like 40% of the voting public in the US totally captured by stupid petty bullshit like keeping gay people from getting married and throwing brown immigrants in cages. Vital ecosystems are collapsing around them and they just want to own the libs. I think we are going to look back and regret not being more forceful against these people.
