Drew Gilbert is just a little bit fired up (!!) about Tony Vitello managing the San Francisco Giants. Gilbert also can appreciate more than anyone just how much Vitello is leaving behind in Knoxville. Story: www.nytimes.com/athletic/674...

Drew Gilbert on what the Giants can expect from Tony Vitello: ‘He knows how to compete’

The Giants made an unprecedented hire of a college coach to try to end a four-year postseason drought.

OPINION: Sports betting isn’t going away, but slick advertising and amoral actions by MLB and the NCAA could contribute to a growing wave of addiction. There’s a relevant lesson to apply here.

As Californians take to the streets today to stand up against the President’s authoritarian playbook, I urge everyone to stay safe and demonstrate peacefully.

Don’t give in to his provocations. Our strength is in our unity and peace.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Lots of passion, great hitter. But, have you seen the podcast with Eric Byrnes, not so good. Don't really like him any more.

Modern autocrats don’t always wear uniforms or rule by fear. They use elections, media control and polished images.

Understanding this “spin dictatorship” is key to protecting democracy, especially in the U.S, writes an expert on authoritarian regimes:

buff.ly/b8dOhAp

Autocrats don’t act like Hitler or Stalin anymore − instead of governing with violence, they use manipulation

Autocrats today are polished, appear mainstream and use the media, not overt repression or violence, to gain public support and consolidate power. They govern through a ‘spin dictatorship.’
