This is good on Cornered and also every choice on headline/photo here requires a meme invocation

Decent odds of a footballer (Garnacho, in particular) doing an inadvertent “dude from the office in Too Much” look this season

This could be a long thread of “how wasn’t this a career ender?” but I will submit this book for consideration

the promotional materials for F1 (the movie) even have the registered trademark symbol in the title, something I don't remember happening with Barbie

"admits" is underrated as a terrible headline verb, but this use is honestly delightful in its absurdity
Headline: "Ex Arsenal Veteran Admits Inter Milan Must 'Play at 200%' To Beat Barcelona"

interesting to revisit this part of The Waffle Manifesto (1969) in the current Canadian political moment...
The major threat to Canadian survival today is American control of the Canadian economy. The major issue of our times is not national unity but national survival, and the fundamental threat is external, not internal.

a four-headline homepage unit ... with not a single one suggesting that enforcing laws might be a good idea?

been thinking a lot about this passage from Shaul Magid’s book on Meir Kahane lately…
America was where Kahane made his mark, and he made quite a mark — more so, I suggest, than is usually recognized. His militancy has been largely rejected by the American Jewish establishment. Yet many of his basic precepts have been embraced among present-day American Jewry. This is an audacious claim, but I hope that after reading this book it will seem less provocative even if no less alarming. Kahane spoke of Jewish "survival" in a decade when Jewish liberals were still talking about acculturation. Kahane warned of the dangers of intermarriage long before the "intermarriage crisis" became standard fare in American Jewish circles. He was an "Israel right or wrong" advocate before AIPAC and before Israel became the civil religion of American Jewry. He decried the anti-Semitism on the left when most establishment figures were worried about anti-Semitism on the right. and he argued for a Jewish turn toward conservativism a full decade before the rise of neconservatism. Today much of mainstream American Jewry has become "survivavalist," even if we now prefer more genteel terms like "continuity."

digitizing your archive is hard, but this delightful crop onThe Atlantic's site is still fair game for a chuckle www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...
Screenshot of an article from The Atlantic's June 1961 issue that has been uploaded to its website. The photo shows an airplane flying through the sky, but the text is cut off so the only part of the headline in the scanned graphic is "COCK"

i have been having to read through a lot of articles about the use of AI in news ... and all the responsible arguments are slightly undermined by this kind of lead image

love to just present claims as if they're objective facts
Few in the industry would dispute the merits of the case, nor these publishers’ essential need to protect their award-worthy I.P. At the same time, their legal battles with these A.I. firms seem to underscore an even graver threat: namely, the apparent dearth of any in-house innovation to capitalize on, or future-proof their businesses for, a fast-approaching era in which A.I. is likely to fundamentally alter the ways that news is both produced and consumed. Indeed, A.I. is about to become as integrated into our economy as software or mobile technology—its infinite applications and ubiquity are such that we will likely retire the term in a few years, much the same way we no longer bother to say digital. In a world where humans will become taskmasters, media leaders need to be as focused on incorporating the technology as they are intent on regulating its large language models. Lynch isn’t wrong, but the true existential threat hasn’t even arrived yet.
