Completely agree. This rhetoric is disgusting and deeply hurtful as a female fan of the sport.

This absolutely sent me. And here I'd thought the Gospel of Tarantino was considered apocryphal at best.

He has spent the last few years losing football and making a spectacle of his personal life. That's what is prominent in everyone's minds. And the losing records are more damning here because they're making people reflect on his career a little differently and probably reassess the scandals.

All of the reactions this morning make me wonder if I've encased myself in a deeply anti-New England Patriots bubble (if so I'm not complaining, it's lovely here) because I wasn't surprised Belichik isn't a 1st ballot HoF coach. Not on the actual merits but because of his recent reputation.

It's a little wild to publish such a long article - framed as an apology - that boils down to proclaiming you've learned nothing. 1,000+ words to achieve, "sorry, not sorry."

This is one of the worst pieces I've read in a long time. He starts by saying "I was wrong but not *really* because there's no agreed upon definition" then spends the rest of the article talking about how this fits the definition that allegedly doesn't exist.

Journalists owe subjects an opportunity to respond to a story; they don't owe them free use of their platform

Political and corporate spokespeople now regularly treat a request for comment from the mainstream media as an opportunity to drop a free ad into the middle of the story. Bad faith non-responses should just be discarded, with a note that they declined to respond to the substance of the question.

Spelling names correctly is the lowest bar of journalism. When I was in college, we lost a letter grade for each typo and failed the assignment if we had a typo in the headline or misspelled a name. Glad to see CBS News will have lower standards than the Appalachian State undergrad program.

I'm watching the Steelers game against my will and my poor, sweet, well-meaning partner has no idea the mistake he's made. He seems to think this is good conversion therapy to turn me into a Packers fan but it is backfiring fantastically as I become radicalized against the league as a whole.

💯 But - and maybe this is the millennial in me - I feel like we should call them snowflakes for *baulking at the idea of doing their jobs*, putting in legwork and accepting responsibility for their actions. I know that won't change things but it may expose some weak spots as they justify it.

I'm not super studied on police reform but it feels like a low bar would be to make police departments liable for property damage and personal injuries that result from shoddy police work. It would certainly increase the incentive to investigate thoroughly before acting.

This is absolutely baffling to me. The way Tesla has habitually lied and covered up crash data is WAY worse than the Cruise cover up that did irreparable harm to their reputation. How does none of this seem to stick to Tesla? Their sycophantic core audience defies any logic around brands and crises.

Finally some good news out of the Steelers. The highest paid non-quarterback in history. Richly deserved for the man who's been carrying our team. And given my lack of expectations for our offense this season...he seems primed to continue carrying that weight. About time we paid talent appropriately

This piece from @slate.com is haunting. A look into one of the towns involved in ICE detainment and how the community, and the system, got this way. The haunting part is that this is one example of many. It takes a degree of complicity that I think we'd all like to pretend isn't likely...and yet.

The idea that the correct answer is for all of life to be treated like a Mexican standoff is baffling in its inherent cruelty. We should all always be packing because anyone could try to shoot us at any time. How can anyone think that's the way to live?

This felt particularly prescient.
Image of the article reading: The populist Kansan politician William Jennings Bryan gave a famous speech on the floor of Congress. Responding to the argument that the wealthy would leave America if they had to pay such a tax, then proposed as 2% on the top incomes, he said:

“Of all the mean men I have ever known, I have never known one so mean that I would be willing to say of him that his patriotism was less than 2 per cent deep. … If ‘some of our best people’ prefer to leave the country rather than pay a tax of 2 per cent, God pity the worst.”

I've never really cared one way or the other about The First 48, but based on this reporting there needs to be a deeper look at some other cases and it may need to be shut down. It also bears questioning the way we've been mixing crime and entertainment and the societal impacts.
