As someone who thinks Gronk is 1) maybe the most underrated player since I started watching football and 2) a top-2 most valuable non-QB since 2000, it seems absolutely nuts to me that nobody is trying to build or become an elite blocking/receiving TE. Maybe market forces are really that powerful?

Good interview that gets to the crux of the problem and also the issue where people are playing dumb. "So there are no other salary caps in sports, then?" Not ones without the players negotiating over the terms!

I want to unpack this a tiny bit, which I think I can do without getting anybody in too much trouble: One verrry underreported aspect of campaigns like this, for obvious reasons, is “which TV pundits have the same agents as athletes they’re covering”

Plus, there is a significant risk of sexual assault or harassment *by* police during the reporting process. I always think about Lauren McCluskey's story of calling the police over 30 times before she was murdered. They didn't help her, but they did do this:

Yeah. That’s exactly what happened.
After the hearing, Schmitt insisted he'd gotten nothing wrong, but he seemed less sure Smith had committed perjury.
"I don't know if Jack Smith's lying or not. It was the only game - Atlanta was the only NBA game or men's college basketball game that night at 7:30,
Schmitt told HuffPost.

The GOP cut funding to the IRS because *audits work* and they fundamentally don't believe rich people should have to play by the rules.
Line chart titled "Revenue per audit," subtitled "In-person audits, 2010-2014." It plots average revenue and average cost per audit by taxpayer income percentile, poorer to richer, from the 0–5th percentile to the top 0.1%. Source: Boning et al. 2023, "A Welfare Analysis of Tax Audits Across the Income Distribution."

Across the bottom half of the income distribution, revenue and cost track closely, both around $3,000–$6,000 per audit. Above the median, revenue pulls ahead of cost: about $10,000 vs. $5,000 near the 90th percentile, and about $17,000 vs. $8,000 at the 95th–99th. At the top, revenue jumps to about $31,000 for the 99–99.9th percentile and about $90,000 for the top 0.1%.

The other day I was in a tailspin because I didn’t feel like I was well versed enough in immigration law to write a football story… then I remembered a Fox News anchor took over the Pentagon and calls himself the Chief of War

“ICE agents were caught on video pulling one teen from the car and punching him repeatedly in the face while he lay on the ground. The other teen, Luis Ochoa, said he informed the ICE agents he was a citizen but was told, ‘I don’t give a damn.… Your parents can’t help you now.’”

Friday morning, I was gardening when I checked my phone. A request had gone out for help. For 25+ hours, ICE had been laying siege to a quiet neighborhood in Frederick, MD. Community members were afraid, some didn’t want to leave their homes. ICE vehicles seemed to be lurking on every corner.
ICE vehicle - black Nissan Maxima with plate cover - posted up in a spot that also serves as an elementary school bus stop. Another ICE vehicle, black Dodge Durango, lurking around the community. Two more ICE vehicles - black Dodge Durango and a white SUV, unclear on make, model - on a quiet residential street, being quietly creepy. Note that the white SUV has its plate covered. Yet another ICE vehicle. Black Nissan Pathfinder. They were all over the neighborhood.

I feel justified in having tapped out on Cohn a long time ago because her hockey takes were always the worst “just didn’t want it enough/gotta have grit and jam” boomer bullshit. Disappointing stuff.

This “game” on the White House website, a version of Snake where you play as a white man in a suit and you run around picking up identifiably black, Asian, and Latino men and putting them in orange jumpsuits, might be the most openly white supremacist thing I’ve ever seen the US government produce

There was an interview during the Boygenius album cycle a couple years ago where the other two said Phoebe did Black Parade the first time she ever did karaoke, which killed me, but it was also like, "yeah, this is the only person who should ever attempt this"

At an invitation-only gathering in Italy, white supremacists mapped out strategies to target rural America while local press coverage vanishes www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...
As economic pressures gut local newsrooms across the country, white nationalist figures see an untapped opening: stepping into media deserts where there are few journalists left to sound the alarm.

“Local media has been dying all over America, which means that there’s essentially no real way to hold local governments accountable—and they can do whatever they want,” Kevin DeAnna told an invitation-only gathering of approximately 50 white nationalists in Rome.

Breaking into a broad smile, he excitedly added: “You should be fantasizing about this. This is a good thing.”

The other part is that it’s the only position where “backup” means little relevant practice time or game snaps and so the trajectory is much more binary. The 5th LB or 3rd tackle is much more involved/relevant with chances to improve to league avg; the 2nd QB is ‘we don’t practice fucked’.

“Car dealerships will take you hostage to induce you to sign a bad deal” is a thing I would not have believed until it literally happened to me when they tried to coerce me into surrendering a leased vehicle instead of buying it out circa 2021 when used prices were skyrocketing

It’s so good live. I think I’ve seen her five times on this past tour and the rest of the show is always worth it and I love a ton of her music but a lot of it is like, “I want to see Night Shift live again”. So few songs like it.

I will say, listening to Odd Lots today (not sure if you’re a listener, seems like something you might enjoy) made me a little more sympathetic to the Dodgers specifically being targeted, but kind of an orthogonal set of reasons haha
