The latter. I know the hot new trolly thing to do is to liken us to Bleacher Report, but really the best way to think about it is if Deadspin lived on Tumblr. We're on the same publishing platform as randomdipshit.kinja.com, but what Random Dipshit does is his own business and has nothing to do with Deadspin unless we Read more

That's gonna change very soon. A republished post will be much more clearly marked. Read more

I'm not seeing it, and I'm on Chrome. Maybe try emptying your cache? (Is "emptying your cache" the new "blowing on your cartridge"?) Read more

How is it possible to hate this Talking Heads song? Read more

Definitely. And those skyboxes are going away soon, as I understand it. We're trying to figure out some sort of workaround. The thinking is that we get so much of our traffic through Facebook and Twitter anyway that we no longer need to worry about curating the front page. I don't agree—how many people heard about the Read more

Yeah, I'm not thrilled with this, either. We're trying to come up with some sort of workaround. Read more

Nah, they'll still be linked. They're disjointed now because the other sites (less io9 and Jalopnik) haven't flipped over to Kinja. Read more

For now, at least, reblogging/republishing means grabbing only a headline, a bit of text, and an outbound link. As I said elsewhere, that's subject to change, and if it changes in ways that I'm not entirely comfortable with—i.e., the ones you're alluding to—then we'll adapt accordingly. Read more

Like I said, we'll have no editorial control. And for now, at least, republishing entails only a headline, a bit of text, and an outbound link. That may change (and it may change in ways that, frankly, I'm not comfortable with, in which case we won't use it). Read more

Nothing's changing about editorial curation. If you see a link here from the Kinjaverse, it's only because we thought it was worth linking to, just the same as a Baseball Prospectus post or a Slate column or a Pro Football Talk story. Read more

In what sense? Let's say you created WuShock.kinja.com. It'd live on the same publishing platform, but we'd have no editorial control. It wouldn't carry our imprimatur or anything, and we—Deadspin—wouldn't get any of the traffic. You'd never see a WuShock.kinja.com post on Deadspin itself unless we decided to link to Read more
