The uri reference may have been too obscure earlier. https://www.thefp.com/p/npr-editor-how-npr-lost-americas-trust I’ve Been at NPR for 25 Years. Here’s How We Lost America’s Trust. Uri Berliner, a veteran at the public radio institution, says the network lost its way when it started telling listeners how to think You know the stereotype of the NPR listener: an EV-driving, Wordle-playing, tote bag–carrying coastal elite. It doesn’t precisely describe me, but it’s not far off. I’m Sarah Lawrence–educated, was raised by a lesbian peace activist mother, I drive a Subaru, and Spotify says my listening habits are most similar to people in Berkeley. I fit the NPR mold. I’ll cop to that. So when I got a job here 25 years ago, I never looked back. As a senior editor on the business desk where news is always breaking, we’ve covered upheavals in the workplace, supermarket prices, social media, and AI. It’s true NPR has always had a liberal bent, but during most of my tenure here, an open-minded, curious culture prevailed. We were nerdy, but not knee-jerk, activist, or scolding. In recent years, however, that has changed. Today, those who listen to NPR or read its coverage online find something different: the distilled worldview of a very small segment of the U.S. population. If you are conservative, you will read this and say, duh, it’s always been this way. But it hasn’t. -
They(the Biden administration) absolutely should have leaned into Trump as a threat to democracy. Garland should have been on tv giving press conferences about what they were doing to stop him. The WH press secretary should have been giving daily briefings about his being a traitor, insurrectionist, etc. basically everything Bondi and the cross wearing cunt are doing currently. And Biden should have been front and center railing on him nonstop. But, you know…

Not all small business folks are Trumpkins. My wife and her brother hate MAGA and run a small business (sold it in May, but still run it). They import from China, Japan, Turkey, and other places. Any small business that imports and didn’t plan for this had their head in the sand. -

I don’t think anyone is there because it’s a hobby so I get that. The only thing I am attempting to say from my viewpoint is that the league was propped up financially by the NBA. If it had not been the league would have folded already. I have said more than once on this thread that I am glad the NBA paid to keep things going. It grew some loyal fans and a generation+ of women have had women to look up to in professional basketball. Had I been David Stern or Adam Silver I would have had the owners do what they did while knowing MBA revenue sharing made sure I still made money. The amount of money required of each team in the NBA to keep the league solvent was a rounding error for them. Now the women can make really good money and I hope the interest explodes going forward.

Another vote for YouTubeTV. You can tell it which specific teams, leagues (NCAAF, F1, MLB, etc), events (Masters, US Open, etc) and so on you want to record, and it will record ‘em all and group them separately. DVR space is unlimited, but the catch is shows “expire” after nine months. Best part, by far IMHO, is it records until the game ends. No more “huh… do I set my recording to end 60 mins or 90 mins after it’s scheduled to end?” It knows. The apps, phone and tablet, are great, too

The WNBA has operated at a loss for almost three decades. To put that in a UT themed timeline, Ricky Williams had not won his Heisman Trophy yet and I was still in high school. The biggest reason this league has existed through those years is the millions in funding from the NBA. There has not been a day in the history of this league where they have been able to say a profit has been made. You make demands when you can show you are making bank. That new media deal ensures the players can now say they deserve a substantial raise in pay. The owners can no longer say we don’t have enough money to pay more. It’s there and it’s time to up the paycheck. I find the league entertaining. Did Caitlin Clark get me to focus MORE attention on the league? Yes. However, I do like watching some of the other young guns like Bueckers for example. More are on the way. I can take this back to 2020 as well. One day I go to a protest over on the Upper East Side. This young girl was there on her own. I think she was 11 or so. She lived in the neighborhood and I asked her what she wanted to be. She said a professional basketball player. She also asked me why WNBA players do not get more money. I told her then I hoped they would eventually make a lot more. She wanted them to make NBA money, but she was young and I wasn’t going to tell a child it was not likely to happen. That memory stood out because it showed the league was finally starting to have an impact beyond their small core fanbase.

WTF!? That is some top shelf ‘tard right there. I would add that the price they are looking for would be equal to everything an individual has. After all, it would be the last thing they ever did. -

Speaking of the revenge tour, Blondi filed a judicial conduct complaint against DC Chief Judge James Boasberg, who has been a thorn in Trump's side. The gravamen of the complaint: allegedly public comments about the Trump administration disobeying court orders. The forum for the comments: a breakfast with John Roberts during the Judicial Conference of The United States, where Chief Judges of district courts all across the nation raise issues current in their courts. An entirely private affair at which such issues are supposed to be raised and Boasberg raised them on behalf of the entire DC District Court. Unsurprisingly, a complete load of shit that Blondi didn't even have the guts to sign herself. And clearly designed to intimidate judges into capitulation. Didn't see this reported or discussed anywhere. https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/170-dojs-ridiculous-misconduct-complaint -
While I doubt we'd have won a national title by 2005, we did go 11-2 in both 2001 and 2002. Vince didn't kick ass in 2003, either. Don't overstate it.
