Somehow discussions of Uptown’s issues usually skip right over when it was occupied by local warlords. I’m glad it hasn’t been completely memory holed.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

The NFL says “Football is America.”For many in Ireland today, that’s not a selling point. Here’s a photo of the scene outside Croke Park where the Steelers & Vikings (owned by Jewish Agency for Israel chairman & anti-Palestinian zealot Mark Wilf, hence the flags) are playing.

23% of high schools educating 12% of children in the US lack a sports program outside of generic phys ed. You want to talk about school sports? Let’s talk about that 12% of kids— that’s OVER 2 MILLION KIDS— who have no access to an athletic program (or the attendant college scholarships) at all.
