How To Enjoy Coffee Even When It's A Thousand Degrees Out
Look, the weather is the most boring topic in the world, especially when it’s some asshole on the East Coast griping about it, but it’s hot. I can’t ride my bike, I can’t give my dog a good walk, I can barely breathe. I can, though, drink coffee. I’ve found the solution.
All The Olympic Sports Should Be Outdoors
“Indoors” does not care what the season is. Seasons do not exist indoors. That is the whole reason we have indoors.

Therefore all the Olympic…

Soft Serve Is The Best Thing About Summer
A soft serve swirl in a cone with rainbow sprinkles (not jimmies) might be the world’s most perfect confection on a hot day. Persuasive arguments could make a strong case for chocolate cake or even a really good pudding. However, a soft serve swirl—chocolate and vanilla, in a cone, with rainbow sprinkles—is certainly…
This Summer Will Probably Be Hotter Than Usual
It’s about 90 degrees in New York City today. Of course, you wouldn’t know that if you’re trapped in an overly air conditioned office building, but that’s pretty hot for late May. While the temperature should break a little next week, this could be a sign of the summer to come—a new forecast from the National Oceanic…
Your Go-To Sunscreen Might Not Actually Work
Maybe you’ve been wearing sunscreen every day, all year, regardless of the weather—because that’s what you’re supposed to be doing.

Throwing Up Dip And Learning About Blowjobs: Deadspin's Notes On Summer Camp
I went to Camp Deerhorn in Rhinelander, Wis., every summer for the majority of my adolescence. It was an awesome camp. We got to fire guns. We got to shoot arrows. We got to go on horseback rides.
