The guy who said the election was rigged won the presidency with the second-most votes- C-SPAN RedZone just went to the quadbox
- Given the reporting about the “attribution issues” with the hit podcast Crime Junkie, I thought the time was right to talk about my experience with the comedy/history podcast @thedollop. A THREAD.
- Replying to @josh_levinI do want people to listen to my podcast, THE QUEEN, which is based on all the original reporting I did, and includes the voices of people who knew Linda Taylor
- USA draws Germany, Ghana, Portugal, 2010 Spain, 1958 Brazil, the 1985 Chicago Bears, and the Monstars from Space Jam
- Replying to @josh_levinIt took me a little less than 6 years to turn that 2013 Slate article into a book, THE QUEEN, which came out this May. Real research is incredibly time-consuming and expensive. It’s insulting and offensive for The Dollop to claim that’s what they do.
- Replying to @josh_levin(4) The Dollop’s Patreon asks people to give money because “The Dollop is a lot more work than most podcasts, due to the endless research.” In reality, the welfare queen episode had no original research; it just used mine.
- With Dan Le Batard leaving ESPN, it's a good time to read @KenTremendous on what makes his show great slate.com/culture/2018/0…
- 17th inning: Yost bunts on defense 20th inning: Yost calls for a bunt during another bunt 23rd inning: Bunt becomes self-aware, bunts
- Will ESPN be allowed to show this highlight or is it too political???Philadelphia Union midfielder Alejandro Bedoya scores a goal against D.C. United, then takes a field mic and says "Hey Congress, do something now! End gun violence! Let's go!"
- Replying to @josh_levinBut that legalistic debate misses the point IMO. Whether it’s technically infringement or not, whether it’s fair use or not, this behavior from The Dollop is certainly unethical/ungenerous/rude/shitty
- This Brett Favre welfare scam reminds me of something connected to the media coverage of Linda Taylor. Around the same time the Chicago Tribune went big on the "welfare queen" story, the paper also wrote about a different public aid scandal ...
