I think substack has contributed to ruining journalism, with a direct-to-reader model that displaces all the workers in journalism who aren't writers. One direct effect is -- no editors to improve the writing and reject the bad pieces. I have yet to subscribe to a paid blog on that platform.

American football is rotten to the core and we'd all be better off without it.

Players were subjected to punishment drills and repeatedly noted the distress of their teammate, to no avail.

After he collapsed, the rest of the team was compelled to continue the drill.

Yunseo Chung, the Columbia student and green-card holder who has been in hiding since ICE tried to disappear her in March, wins sweeping order preventing her arrest and detention.

She becomes the first of these pro-Palestinian advocates to circumvent the Trump administration policy to deport them.
