I’m trying to find words to describe the incompetence of a news organization that spikes its own story domestically and allows it to run in that country’s nearest neighbor without interruption. It’s a staggering level of ineptitude.

Brain dead.
Today I conducted an interview and immediately turned it around into a 1200-word article, which at one point was my stock-in-trade but hasn’t been recently.

I took a couple weeks off Portland area hiking cause I’ve been busy with work (& also cause I’m an old man who hurt his back while moving a metal bed frame around) but today Pepper and I got back after it at the Powell Butte Nature Area.

I work the 2-10 shift out here on the west coast and that means I start watching basketball in the early afternoon and then it takes me all the way through dinner and into bedtime, and then I wake up in the morning and have 5 hours to live before I do it again

MSG calling itself “the world’s most famous arena” just sounds thirsty. If it’s true, you don’t have to say it.

Sincerely: Is the claim actually that white men are facing systemic discrimination from white men? What are we doing here? It’s frustrating that really “smart” people succumb again and again to these racial propaganda campaigns. Anti-1619, anti-CRT, anti-woke, now rampant anti-white racism hysteria.

So systemic discrimination DOES exist! But white guys are the victims of it!
The most intellectually, politically, and culturally lazy cohort in modern history - white guys of mediocre intellect, creativity, & personality who can only ape the theories, language, laws, & struggle of Black people.

Jobs in media are disappearing for the most simple reason: most of your fellow Americans don’t subscribe to a newspaper or magazine.
The best advice a young journalist can get: create something for yourself and your audience that doesn’t exist yet. The old paths to success are dead.

If you’re an academic posting about how it sucks that football coaches make way more $$ than you, there’s a reason football stadiums are way more full than your lecture halls.
