Our editorial stance is kidnappings are bad. This is not Real Journalism because it's important to be neutral about atrocities
Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10%
$1200 can be life or death at that level of income
top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"

Nuno Mendes gets PSG party started in Super Cup shootout win against Spurs
Nuno Mendes gets PSG party started in Super Cup shootout win against Spurs
*
Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Tottenham (4-3 pens)
*
PSG score two late goals to set up shootout
It turns out the DNA of serial winners cannot be developed within three months. Tottenham should have been able to announce themselves kings of the continent here, flimsy though any grand statements after a Uefa Super Cup win might be. For long periods they overpowered a lethargic Paris Saint-Germain and it looked, until the final 10 minutes, as if Thomas Frank’s playbook had been perfectly imprinted on the lilywhite half of north London.
Spurs had pummelled PSG in the air, deserving to lead through Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. They had rarely been under threat but the Champions League winners perked up after Lee Kang-in’s crisp drive and levelled deep in added time when Gonçalo Ramos glanced in. Such recourse to old ways meant Tottenham were compelled to suffer the torment of penalties, Van de Ven and Mathys Tel both missing and letting Nuno Mendes inflict the clincher. Continue reading...
