“I am a 26-year-old man living in Michigan. I have a 17-year-old coworker who really wants me. Is it legal for me to have sex with her? Thank you for your time.” Read more

I can think of a lot of things that are worth doing for 24 hours (or more) straight, give you the same “endurance” bragging point, and, most importantly, don’t suck in such a way that you spend the rest of your life lamenting that stupid thing you did with 24 hours of your life you’ll never have back: Read more

Maybe you noticed, Simmons left Grantland months ago. A lot of good people just lost their jobs, and our industry just lost a lot of good paying work opportunities. Read more
