Great reporting and observations by @chadfinn.bsky.social on the Red Sox clinching a playoff birth in a game exclusively available on Apple TV+. I was mad at NESN, but it turns out I may have been misdirecting that emotion.
Sunday media: caught up with Chris Mannix, who will have a wife-ranging insider role on NBC’s NBA coverage. Also, a parting thought on the NESN/Apple TV+ issue when the Sox clinched the playoffs. (Feels like a month ago now.)

Quincy native Chris Mannix ‘incredibly excited’ to be joining NBC’s return to NBA coverage as insider - The Boston Globe
Mannix, who will continue in his full-time role as a senior writer for Sports Illustrated, said the new gig came about in part because of his previous contributions to NBC Sports.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.
And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

This is the most corrupt and disgusting thing I think I’ve ever seen from a president. A blatantly impeachable offense. Republicans in Congress will say and do nothing.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Living Colour releases “Cult of Personality” as a single today in 1988.
“It’s not a condemnation,” said singer Corey Glover. “It’s more of a commentary on how we, as a culture, are drawn to strong personalities. Sometimes we follow without question. That’s what makes it dangerous.”

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!
