One of the first features I ever wrote was for the Mizzou football game program. It was a big deal as a student worker in sports info to get to write it. Who is being robbed of this opportunity by this nonsense?

back when I used to write a lot more about American soccer, I said that this was a textbook example of a colonial mentality when applied to sports.

1) someone else would've absolutely come up with those improvements to car design, Nader wasn't necessary for *any* of this. 2) WRT 1, what Nader "proved" with the Corvair was disproved by the NHTSA in 1972, & what was true of that car was true of just about *all* automotive design back then.

also the NPOs he founded had & still have horrific work-life balance issues & are essentially sweatshops (see: the PIRGs) those canvassers that ask if you have a minute to save the environment? that’s all Nader.

This serves as advertisement for Alex Gibney’s documentary, Musk, opening October 9. Pass it on.

The Major Social Media Platforms Are All Rejecting Paid Ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ (Exclusive)
YouTube, TikTok and Meta have all turned down the trailer for the Oct. 9 doc, citing “political” content. X won't even take Bleecker Street's calls. The distributor is appealing.

“If our viral moment contributes anything to the ongoing cultural conversation about how we judge what we see online, I hope it reminds us to be more comfortable saying, “I don’t know the whole story.” themomoftheyear.substack.com/p/im-the-mom...
Going viral has shown me firsthand that we have become quick to vilify people from a brief clip, filling in everything we cannot see with assumptions. You could see that my hands were full. You couldn’t hear my husband offer to help or hear me tell him to eat. You couldn’t know that he was grieving or that I wanted to take care of him that evening. If our viral moment contributes anything to the ongoing cultural conversation about how we judge what we see online, I hope it reminds us to be more comfortable saying, “I don’t know the whole story.”

a future looking Democratic administration could use this as a way to lay out an affirmative foreign policy/international security vision, but they're positively allergic to doing that. you can count the # of innovative Dem FP/natsec thinkers on 1 hand & have fingers left over. it's *bad*.

depends on the candidate TBH. Biden wouldn’t have gotten the presidency if Obama had gone with Bayh; Clinton was pretty sui generis; Harris had the VP nom effectively locked up in 2020, but didn’t run a good primary campaign relative to expectations. most folks are 1 & done.

also, the selective schools where that's going to make a difference can pick & choose from students who are both academically AND athletically elite. you're just not going to have a situation where an academically mediocre-to-bad student will get into a selective school because they're good athletes
