while i personally wouldn’t run down the clock so the game can be decided by a backup kicker who already had a field goal blocked (before it started raining), i guess it worked this time. bear down

This version is confirmed, by Hoffman Estates police, puncturing the official DHS statement.

At this point, there is a statement from DHS re 🧊 activities in the Chicago area that’s refuted in similar fashion on nearly a daily basis at a minimum over the past week

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

saw an email with a headline that started with "levi's are back." almost deleted since i figured it an online marketing thing for jeans. then, i saw the sender was the economist adam tooze's chartbook newsletter. today is full of surprises

For you longtime Former Clarity heads, you may remember the medical issues I wrote about six years ago. Well, they're back. But it's okay, because I mostly wrote about the Seattle Mariners instead.

It's happening again

I'm having surgery in nine days. But, more importantly, the Seattle Mariners.

LinkedIn post about how a guy got a job interview at Strava by running a route that spelled HIRE ME on the map

HIRE ME written on the map (looking more like HIRE NE tbh)

commenter asks if the guy got the job and OP says “I don't think so. But his effort got him noticed and a foot in the door when so many others didn't”

the new Tim Robinson show seems to be about an insecure professional who lets a moment of humiliation consume his life in increasingly dark and funny ways. new territory for him

If Major League Soccer doesn’t care enough to watch their own games in order to write about them, why should we watch their games?

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

fox should just let adam amin call baseball games with stacey king, would you rather hear aj pierzynski say "scoring a run-- that's what they're trying to do to win this game" or a guy who might not know all of the rules of baseball screaming "AAAH THE DUMPER! THE BIG DUMPER! SIT ON 'EM FELLA!"

I'll be hanging out at "News Night" in Chicago next week, talking a little bit about the stories I'm working on these days and chopping it up with some folks.
