yes, but that's not immediately evident to the folks who only saw the official Deadspin tweet and not Roth's post. *I* know I'm not a scab, I checked with GMG folks to make sure, it still kind of hurts though. :-/ I know I'm not supposed to read the comments but I need perpetual affirmation in All Things, or I will literally die.

Yeah it sucks, the timing was just really bad. poo poo there was like a 24 hour period where you could find plenty of people calling Roth or Magary scabs because they didn't immediately announce they'd quit (in Roth's case because he was trying to do a nice thing for people like you). Your article was really good.

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

yeah they're also putting a giant lovely fake mall smack in the loving center of the city's busiest intersection and, hold on didn't they do that back in the 80s as well? how'd that turn out.

edit- the only good thing about worcester is that it's not boston.

I’m absolutely not surprised but the combination of age and success has made Simmons the exact sort of shithead he hated so much in the early days.
