the new york times declaring racist grifter nick shirley a "gen z everyman" should be enough for you to cancel your wordle subscription

NYT: The Influencer Who Spurred the Federal Crackdown on Minneapolis
Nick Shirley had struggled to expand his reach. With a new approach after a missionary trip, he caused a sensation with a video about possible fraud.

NYT: A Gen-Z Everyman
Mr. Shirley’s new strategy became going to the scene of political tension: interviewing protesters in Portland, Ore.; clashing with immigrant vendors on Canal Street in New York City and, in perhaps his biggest journalistic coup, filming from inside the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador, which he praised for making the country the “safest in the Western Hemisphere.”

He finds his stories by spending a lot of time online to have his “finger on the pulse,” he said. He tracks themes that are rising in interest on social media and stays nimble, often booking flights the day before he travels and films.

NYT: “I hit a new level of fame,” he said. “Now everywhere I go, I get recognized.”

He was speaking from a restaurant in San Diego, where he planned to spend the next day visiting Somali-owned day care centers in the city. Another hunt for fraud was underway.

Hot take: Despite it being AI, Trump posting a video of himself shitting all over the American people is the most honest thing the world’s biggest asshole has ever done.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Got a new story in The Ringer today. You have encountered Steelers exceptionalism a million times. It's the belief that the Pittsburgh NFL team is football's one indispensable franchise and somehow different from the other 31. It's also about to come crashing down www.theringer.com/2025/09/02/n...

The Last Gasp of Steelers Exceptionalism

Pittsburgh has long acted like it’s better than its NFL peers. As the Aaron Rodgers era begins, will Mike Tomlin’s team be anything more than average?

Veteran photographer Michael Nigro was shot in the head with a non-lethal bullet while covering anti-ICE protests in LA. "It felt very very intentional," Nigro tells NPR, "a chilling effect to convince us to go away." Other reporters say they have been targeted too. My story below:

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.
