News editor, Rocky Mountain PBS. Mostly post about the O’s on here.
Man, the Orioles front office is either really stupid (possible!) or they feel very confident that Grayson’s arm is never going to be the same.

For his sake, I hope it’s the former.

Elon Musk is set to make more than every U.S. elementary teacher combined
See how Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s new payment package compares with other occupations in the United States.

Not sure it "upended her career" considering she got a book deal and a job with Vanity Fair
Olivia Nuzzi's memoir is a combustive portrait of America, President Trump and the scandal with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that upended her career.

In an exclusive interview with The New York Times, she recalls the infatuation that consumed her, Kennedy’s use of psychedelics and much more.

I like how the NYT tried to do a “some experts say” framing, and the expert was like, you do not need an expert opinion to see this is bad.

I think limiting the definition of “political violence” to mean “bodily harm from a single assailant” helps downplay the many ways in which governments brutalize people.

Is starving children not political violence? Is forcing a woman to carry a high-risk pregnancy to term not political violence?
