Walter White gym speech with Mets hat on

Statistically speaking, it's only the 6th worst, actually TIED for 6th worst, losing streak in franchise history. Do you know how many games the 1962 Mets lost?

Steven Thrasher's Impassioned Call to Oust the 'Overseer Class' In 'The Overseer Class: A Manifesto,' Steven W. Thrasher's call to overthrow the 'overseer class' starts with looking beyond reform.

"The Overseer Class is a deeply rooted yet approachable analysis of how race in America is often a telemetric shorthand for class and interest, but remains only a shorthand." Grateful for this thoughtful review of THE OVERSEER CLASS in @inkstickmedia.com inkstickmedia.com/steven-thras...

Late in the The Takeaway's history, we got sued by a politician for $35 million (more than the entire operating budget of the whole company), because we talked with a woman who had accused him of sexual assault, and we played some clips of another women saying the same thing from CBS, who had...1/

"Defendants included these statements in the Article only to brush them aside."

this might be my favorite legal line ever from a lawsuit. It's from Kash's lawsuit against the Atlantic.

It's in reference to other cabinet officials supporting him, although, not denying the accusations presented.

“Mets”? Never heard of it. Doesn’t sound like the sort of thing I’d be interested in, to be honest.

If you kill your wife, you don't get to be a husband anymore Some lessons from the media coverage of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer's murders.

My latest.

I’ve been watching the media coverage of the murders of Dr. Cerina Fairfax and Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer.

One way media can fight back against male violence:

If you kill your wife, you don’t get to be called a “husband” any more.

“Men who kill their female partners and wives should, at the absolute fucking minimum, lose their right to be called partners, husbands, or “family men.“

Virginia governor, advocates remember Dr. Cerina Fairfax Dr. Cerina Fairfax is remembered as a mentor and community leader as officials call attention to the broader impact of domestic gun violence toward Black women.

It has been really disturbing to see some people pay tribute to Dr. Cerina Fairfax’s killer without even mentioning her. The victims of domestic violence matter more than their husband’s political careers.

“I thought it was me as a doctor” is such a childish lie that the media’s refusal to call it that and drive in circles to say “trump denied it was an image of jesus and said he thought it was a doctor” is an implicit admission that they will never truthfully report on trump for the rest of his life
