Inside the World’s Most Controversial Hotel

Why Instagram Is the Best Window into Trump-Era Corruption
Twitter may be the president’s id, but the image-sharing platform better reflects the ethos of the Trump era—the conflicts of interest, the naked ambition.

Hey, this is going to sound really ridiculous, but you’re not my 17-year-old red-headed little brother are you? If so, I think your school project got a little out of hand. If not, very sorry for bothering you, but my little bro is also Zach Everson, and I think he had mentioned a website for school or some crap like that.

Fun in the Sun at the NFL Pro Bowl
I figured if I was going to have to watch the Pro Bowl, I might as well get paid for doing so. So I pitched on-site coverage to Deadspin’s editor. He bit and you lose.
We should boycott Zach Everson! He is all about gossip and negativity. He has added nothing to the Louisville restaurant scene and is hurting people and their businesses. If I see him out I will share my feelings face to face.
