I have to say I think it was a mistake putting Barry White in charge of CBS News. Great singer but he’s no journalist, and he’s been dead for 20 years

Here is a gift link to the NYT article about Weiss killing a fact-checked story because it was not sympathetic enough to an presidential administration in the midst of deciding about another corporate merger that CBS's owners are trying to win.

Once again, I implore someone to point out a transwoman athlete who has dominated her respective sport. Like Serena Williams level. Like Sheryl Swoopes or A'ja Wilson level. Like Mickey Wright level. Like Katie Ledecky level. You know, like that.

I love going to a sports bar in the afternoon and piecing together what games were showing the night before. The TVs are always like: a superhero movie on TNT, a local channel's off-brand sportscenter, and a replay of a South American soccer game.

By insisting that gravity exists, physicists are excluding those who think it doesn't exist — and reducing the number of ideas by half. I am a professional political commentator.

Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas.
One attorney cost taxpayers more than $24,000 for a day’s work.

This story Carl Nassib told on RC's pod about coming out in the NFL cracked me up. His delivery is so good!

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
His white teeth make a musical din
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands
Give unbearable insult to god
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
His white teeth make a musical din
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands

Polling: "Do you think the rich have too much political power in the U.S.?"
Yes: 80%
No: 8%
Independent voters are 81%/6% on this; even Trump voters are 68%/18%.
Maybe a political party could lead on this issue.

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.
