Among other things, what's bizarre about this whole thing is the suggestion that the NFL is forcing something on people. Choosing an artist whose music was streamed 20 billion times last year to perform at halftime is an example of them following the culture not fighting it.
If that show triggered you, you’re just looking for bullshit to be mad about
Damn good show.

Imagine being upset about it.

Sam Darnold threw for 300+ yards three times this season

Dilfer did so five times IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER
I see some of you comparing Sam Darnold to Trent Dilfer and I'm just not gonna stand for it

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

Absolutely compelling thread. Worth your time.
Today I was walking back from an errand when I woman flagged me down and pointed at a cat laying at her feet. A black tuxie, very skinny and very much worse for wear. “I would take him but he won’t let me pick him up,” she said. “Really?” I said, and cradled my sweatshirt around him. /1

As part of their commitment to "keeping print strong," they have laid off 80 percent of a world-class (literally, they have the awards to prove it) design staff as well as all of their photographers.

Pretty bad look when you're lying to your highest paying customers right out of the gate.
The Washington Post ran a full-page letter to subscribers in today's print edition from exec editor Matt Murray stating that it is committed to sports and local coverage after laying off the vast majority of the staff on those desks

A complete and utter embarassment.
I don't see how Will Lewis can effectively lead WaPo.

Lewis did not save Bezos from himself on opinion pages. (375K+ cancelations) His innovations did not stem enough red ink.

And he has not taken any ownership of the devastating ensuing cuts. He's making Murray own it alone.
