A hand holding an unopened CD, with Ronald Reagan’s smiling face. The title is RONALD REAGAN’S GREATEST LAUGHS. Published by NewsMax, of course.

President Reagan laughing and standing next to Tommy Lasorda. They’re both in hell now but this photo appears to have been taken in the White House

Somehow people manage to just tune car crashes out and factor them in as the cost of doing business

Well, the apology was contrite and plainly spoken. I have respect for the principal for taking the mistake head on (unless he used Copilot to write the apology email)

The Principal at Princeton Middle School, (aka PMS) just sent a message apologizing for an email he sent last week in which the automated Spanish language translation rendered "families at PMS" as "familias con sΓ­ndrome premenstrual". Ludicrous.

A Complimentary Profile Of Jason Lee That Was Surprisingly Difficult To Publish | Defector If you walked down Colorado Boulevard in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles at some point in the past three years, you might have noticed a modest, pueblo-style beige building with β€œPHOTO” painted above its door. And if you had decided to go in, there was a decent chance you’d know the pers…

This @defector.com story is a good (non-political) example of why it’s not enough to have a bunch of individual reporters with newsletters running around. You need some kind of institution with the resources (and principles) to publish despite legal threats. defector.com/a-complimentar…

Skater Jason, for example, would never have wanted to live anywhere but the busy city. But now he happily lives in the semi-suburbs nearby, in Pasadena. "It's a beautiful irony, you know what I mean?" he said.
"I really dig it. I have a leaf blower."

I didn’t need to read this fine piece of reporting to know that Jason is a colossal asshole but this nugget sure helped:

in 1983, 90% of U.S. media was spread across 50 companies. in 2012, it's these six Comcast, Newscorp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, CBS

I will always think NBA Twitter peaked when Shaq would tweet out that he was at some random diner and like two dudes would just go say what's up
