An awful story all the way around, including this reaction from the school that was set to be an opponent before Antioch forfeited.

Classic example of sports being given outsize import at the high school level.
The school only informed Liberty of its decision to forfeit the game at noon on Oct. 31, Liberty athletic director Jon Heinz told Bay Area News Group, which left officials at the Brentwood school upset. According to Heinz, the lost revenue from the forfeited game would be “a killer on our budget,” Bay Area News Group reported, and lead to him seeking some kind of financial compensation from the forfeit.

Incredible things are happening in the YouTube for Families help forums. support.google.com/youtubekids/...
("Mr. Vacca", responding to a question about disabling YouTube Shorts, on December 13, 2023) Hi there, If you use a YouTube kids profile in the Youtube app for TVs, you won't see any shorts content. If you are using a normal YouTube account, the shorts should be vertical and you won't need to turn your tv. If it's horizontal, then the uploader must have done that when they uploaded the video. Sorry I can't be of more assistance. Bill (User 2778197722279913895 responds on April 27, 2025) Why would I have to create a kids app to just remove them... YouTube is getting ridiculous (User 14779317722744358878 responds on July 17, 2025) Mr. Vacca, I feel like this is obvious, but you clearly do not get it. The issue is that you would need to turn your TV sideways to fill the screen with the video content, not that the content is in the incorrect orientation. Watching shorts on a TV leaves more than half the screen real estate empty. I hate watching vertical video on a TV and I am not alone. Please allow us to hide vertical videos (Shorts) on our TVs. Thank you.

The Nashville-based musician grew up partly in Arkansas—very country—and partly in Europe—not very country. Her father worked for Gillette and her mother worked in aerospace and pharmaceuticals. They lived in England and Switzerland when Alexis was very young. She attended the College du Lemon International School in Switzerland (also once attended by Tucker Carlson), but her father’s next job took the family to Fayetteville, Arkansas when Alexis was nine.

Reading Jon Pessah's book "The Game" about MLB labor and business, and it's satisfying to read fellow players putting Lenny Dykstra in his place when he attempted to undermine the union in 1994.
Dykstra, flanked on either side by teammates Darren Daulton and Dave Hollins, rises from his seat, pulls a sheet of paper out of his jacket pocket, and begins to read. "Now is the time to make a deal," he says, keeping his eyes down. "This can get really ugly. The union is going to get broken when people start crossing the line. We're all losing so much money every day." Roger Clemens is the first to interrupt. "Put that fucking paper down and tell us what you really think, Clemens says. "Don't tell us what your owner thinks." "Yeah, tell us what you think," others repeat across the room. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about," some of then shout. Cecil Fielder stands and looks at Lenny as the room quiets. Everyone knows the big first baseman is a carefree spirit, but there's little of that in evidence now. "All the guys who came before us and gave so much so that we could do what we're doing now, and some of you guys don't want to do the right thing." Fielder says. "If you all don't want to do the right thing, well, fuck you." Dykstra struggles through a few more talking points before he puts the paper down and finally looks up. It's time to rejoin the team. "You all know that I've had some problems with this pro-cess," Lenny says, "but I just want to make sure you all know that I am behind this union. I want to get back on the baseball field, but I'll stick with you as long as I have to." More players stand up, one at a time, repeating Fielder's call for solidarity, vowing to do for tomorrow's players what previous gen-erations of players did for them. Then it's time for union leadership to speak up. Michael Weiner tells the players that management's offer wipes out most if not all the gains the players have fought for and won, going all the way back to Curt Flood. The freedom to mar ket your skills, to play where you want to play and who you want to play for, and the right to salary arbitration-all of it. Weiner says, will vanish.

He also wrote this passage, apparently not realizing that it illustrates exactly the opposite of what he claims it does: that conservative writers got to bypass rigorous editorial scrutiny entirely in James Bennet's NYT Opinion section.
Screenshot from the piece, with text saying: There was a sense that publishing the occasional conservative voice made the paper look centrist. But I soon realized that the conservative voices we published tended to be ones agreeing with the liberal line. It was also clear that right-of-center submissions were treated differently. They faced a higher bar for entry, more layers of editing, and greater involvement of higher-ups. Standard practice held that when a writer submitted an essay to an editor, the editor would share that draft with colleagues via an email distribution list. Then we would all discuss it. But many of my colleagues didn’t want their name attached to op-eds advancing conservative arguments, and early-to-mid-career staffers would routinely oppose their publication. After senior leaders in the Opinion section realized that these articles were not getting a fair shake, the process evolved. Articles that were potentially “controversial” (read: conservative) were sent directly to the most senior editors on the page, to be scrutinized by the leadership rather than the whole department.

If that guy's name rings a bell, it's possibly because he was the guy who wrote this wild piece for the Atlantic in which he said an HR person chided him for saying he liked a Chick Fil-A sandwich, and that he didn't understand basic false equivalencies. archive.ph/7Yt7g
Screenshot from the article, which reads: Being a conservative—or at least being considered one—at the Times was a strange experience. I often found myself asking questions like “Doesn’t all of this talk of ‘voter suppression’ on the left sound similar to charges of ‘voter fraud’ on the right?” only to realize how unwelcome such questions were. By asking, I’d revealed that I wasn’t on the same team as my colleagues, that I didn’t accept as an article of faith the liberal premise that voter suppression was a grave threat to liberal democracy while voter fraud was entirely fake news.

This guy super super super duper sucks.
The original poster quote-tweeted his bad post about Trump being shamelessly un-Christian and added: This whole thing was so meta. An extra $50 payout this month is my consolation prize for 1.5k hate comments at me, their (perceived) political enemy, for (presumably) not knowing or caring that Jesus said to love your enemies. I should buy a round of beers for my enemies

Comment on a Defector post saying: They probably beat Richmond at home. After that, they could easily be winless in the run of @UCF, vs. Clemson, @Cal, and vs. Virginia, at which point they will have a Friday night (Halloween!) game @Cuse. Lose that one to go 2-6 at that point — and if especially if the vibes are rancid — it might be tempting to cut the cord so a replacement has a long week to prepare for a home game against a terrible Stanford squad and get a head start on resetting recruiting.

I went to the 2002 Yankees-Giants game where Clemens plunked Bonds, but the other thing that stuck out was during BP, when Bonds hit the Utz sign behind the RF bleachers on the fly, and the regulars around me said they'd never seen that before. Spoiler: Google Earth suggests that was 435 feet.
Yankee Stadium on Opening Day, 2002. A wide shot of the field from high up in the lower deck on the third base side so we can see all of right field, including the advertisements on the wall behind the bleachers, of which the Utz sign is the furthest right, in about straightaway right field.

Once again, these people do not live in the same world as we do.
Text from the linked piece: Last spring, I received a death threat in response to an article I wrote. My friends at Turning Point USA encouraged me to request the Amherst administration drop all disciplinary action in exchange for a one-on-one dialogue with the student. That request was granted, and I found our conversation informative. Though Mr. Kirk’s legacy is likely to be viewed through a strict partisan lens, I wish more students would recognize the need for Gen Z to step forward with courage and empathy to rebuild civil discourse. And while Mr. Kirk’s tactics might not have been perfect, his courage offers a far better model to emulate than the levels of political hostility that have become too familiar.
