I never read deadspin unless an article gets posted here. Can someone give a brief rundown of what happened? Or can i just safely assume that it went something like this: ownership said “no more SJW stuff!” And the writers told ownership to pound sand?

So is the "okay, boomer" thing actually happening on twitter? I've not encountered it in real life, so I imagine it's just a twitter/internet thing... @Freddy Rumsen , please confirm.

It's a Twitter meme

Maybe by age, but your post screams fogey. Even this Gen-Xer knows that twitter and the internet ARE real life now...

I've always had a fascination with finding and exploring old military bunkers, although at this point they've all been found and tagged. This kills my desire to ever do that.

They found out that food can rapidly lose moisture and dry out. Do people actually still believe McDonald’s burgers don’t rot?

Heard they're using facial recognition to try to find the culprits.

In October, a family in Iowa inadvertently built a pipe bomb for a party that exploded and killed a grandmother.

I will never understand gender reveal parties. Or maybe I’m just old, as all we did was send out a text saying that we were having a little girl.

It's vanity. Pure and simple.

Is tarring and feathering still allowed?

A Long Island woman was arrested for harassing a child with special needs for a year on social media and through the mail.

Krista Sewell, 26, was charged with aggravated harassment, stalking and a felony hate crime by New York State Police on Thursday.

Police say Sewell, of Meville, New York, repeatedly threatened a toddler, Anna, who was born in 2017 with harlequin ichthyosis, a genetic disorder that creates hard, thick skin separated by deep cracks that can cause breathing difficulties, among other issues.

You’re “old” and sent out a birth announcement text?!??

I must be an antique.
