Hey friends-
It’s really hard being alive right now for those of us who care about things like humanity, decency, the environment, democracy, etc,
If you are here still fighting for what is right I love u.
None of this is easy. Please take care of yourselves. Logging off sometimes is A-OK.

Woke is bullshit. It's horseshit. It exists as a false affront to assholes who just want to asshole. It's fascism that is the enemy of free and open speech. Fascism is and always was the great shut-up and shut-it-down censor of debate and discussion.

The recent flooding in and around Kerrville has exposed a number of failings in the state’s disaster preparedness and response. It also kicked off a widespread public blame game. Officials have long b...

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

🚨 The Packers took a first round receiver 🚨
Absolutely love them getting Matthew Golden. Playoff loss showed they needed someone who could take the top of the defense and beat man coverage. Sharp route runner with terrific hands who wins at all three levels.
My favorite pick of the draft so far.

This is not a time for media literacy or historical knowledge to be held hostage by institutions bending the knee to authoritarianism.

I don't often actively root for podcast subjects but I am for Joon Lee.
He got a raw deal at ESPN — specifically, it's dumb business to cut under-30 content people who are talented — and he's trying to create YouTube sports content that is curious and intellectual and fun. Good luck to him.

Bruce Arthur: Alex Ovechkin breaks Wayne Gretzky’s unbreakable record, but his greatness is only part of the story
Ovechkin marched to the record as his friend Putin marched on Ukraine. It’s not as uncomplicated as the NHL makes it.
