It's funny that you can immediately have a customer base just by pandering to contrarians. You can sell asbestos candy if you say the government has been lying to you about asbestos

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Bringing a beverage to every job interview I do from now on as a new litmus test for whether my potential manager will be a smarmy prick.

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

What I want is a TV documentary channel entirely devoted to documentaries with no quick-cut montages of everything about to happen, which don't give a fuck about keeping my attention, presented by extremely knowledgeable people in a terrible mood who have no interest in trying to make me like them

One of the upsides of covering MMA is that you occasionally got to see terrible people get what was coming to them. Here’s accused rapist Gable Steveson getting knocked into the middle of next week.

Based on the TV ads and spam texts, I think Texas Republicans’ plan for the campaign is to just block their ears, close their eyes and shriek “they/them!” from now until Election Day.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.

I think most people who live in cities understand that, as a matter of how many people they encounter per day, statistically, they will see someone mentally unwell in a way they cannot help and choose not engage with them. That wisdom needs to also be applied to people addicted to Arguing Online.

This is like when a not funny guy has one joke that does well, and then he repeats it, and it gets a little less, and then he brings it back again and everyone is just embarrassed for him. But at least that guy doesn’t fumble the delivery.

So here's a quote from @pablo.show that applies to not only his Clippers investigation but the best of what journalism can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...
"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."

Lol the United States was the only country of 165 which voted "no" to adopting an accurate map instead of the distorted Mercator projection. I'm guessing it was 30% inspired by an imperialist desire to keep Greenland looking big and 70% a racist desire to keep Africa small.

The NBA-Clippers story is a story about two things working better than recent years have led us to expect: the ability of journalism to hold power and money to account and the willingness of an institution to do the same. It also serves as a reminder that those two things should be linked.
