Must be all that country music makes ‘em violent.

Everyone’s a criminal, the hard part is figuring out what they did.

The money is in people sharing your videos online, and then everyone they’re connected to having it show up (and auto-play) in their feed.

“Ad impressions” are basically “the number of times an ad is loaded”. The reason people use it is because it’s currently the best available measurement. Advertisers would love to have something that measured how much people were paying attention, whether they actually had sound on, etc, but we aren’t at a point where…

1. Video is offered as native content on most platforms, long-form articles are not - meaning users have to click out to get to written content, but then can view video right on Facebook, Twitter, IG, etc. This generates impressions directly from every follower or share of your content, as opposed to articles, which…

It’s a pity he took a powder from ESPN, though.

It’s satire.

On the contrary, I think the NFL trying to create stories for itself year-round is a big contributor to the increasing sense of football fatigue.

If anybody from a past era would have been better today it’s Jordan - he was able to evolve his game in a way I don’t think anyone else has. When teams started to figure out an antidote to his hard dunking strategy, he completely switched up the way he played offense with the spin and that fadeaway.

The oddest thing to me is that they’re all listed by state. No one should give a shit about what state someone is representing unless it’s for Congress.

There’s a (fiction) movie about this phenomenon - Offside 

WhatsApp on iOS works without your contact list, but then you just get phone numbers instead of names

It doesn’t make sense to call pro athletes “players” because they’re paid, so it’s work, not play, either, but here we are. The very raison d’etre of sports is maintaining pointless traditions, so if you don’t like that, take up avant-garde performance art.

It’s funny because this is a guy who, less than two years ago, couldn’t stop going on about how the fashion industry systematically turned its back on him while falling all over itself to create collections for white celebrities Paris Hilton and Katy Perry. It’s like he’s only black when it suits him.

Yeah, the point is that they’re keeping him on because they want to, not because they have to.

Yeah. You should have tamper-resistant ink pens on hand for anything/everything important: checks, contracts, etc. They’re easy to find at Staples and not too expensive if you buy by the dozen.

He added that the rules of the tenure system were why Strampel still hasn’t been fired and is still getting paid his annual salary of $217,000.

+ like, I don’t know, whatever

They hated Colbert because Colbert (rightfully) took them to task for completely abdicating their responsibilities to the public as journalists.

These days, I don’t think “Catholics” actually make for a very coherent or well-clustered demographic - especially since part of the narrative about the Church is that it transcends divisions of politics, class, ethnicity, and so on - unlike, say, Evangelicals, who always like to envision themselves as part of a great…
