Today marks exactly 10 years since Hacker T. Dog delivered the greatest unscripted line in British television history. "We're just normal men... We're just innocent men."

“Back to Foulke, Red Sox fans have longed to hear it, the Boston Red Sox are World Champions.” 22 years ago tonight, the Curse of the Bambino was finally broken with a sweep of the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series.

As an Australian, I have never heard that name in my life.
I admittedly know next to nothing about cricket, Aussie rules football, or rugby, but I have a question for the Australians out there: Is it fair to put Alexander Volkanovski in the pantheon of Australia’s greatest athletes, alongside legends like Rod Laver and Ian Thorpe? Because from where I’m sitting, Volk has earned his place in that conversation.

By now you’ve probably heard of the woman who was fired from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society following complaints that she culturally appropriated her Burning Man cornrows. Well, we got ahold of an internal document one staffer sent to volunteers and it’s an employment lawyer’s dream come true. Excerpts below or hear all about it on next week’s episode of Blocked and Reported (up now for Primos, unlocked Monday) blockedandreported.org/p/epi…

Stop treating the adult population like children and stop allowing adults who behave like despotic toddlers to decree what the rest of us are allowed to watch.

"INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR PLAYLISTS !" No I will just continue to just listen to music that I like regardless because I am not a crazy person who orders their entire life around a long-running and complex conflict in the Middle East.

FIRE won a huge First Amendment victory today. And before anyone mischaracterizes it: This ruling does NOT say the government must admit anyone, issue anyone a visa, or grant anyone citizenship. It says that once a person is lawfully here, the government cannot deport them because they engaged in protected speech. The government cannot tell a legal immigrant: An American is free to say this, but if you say it, you’re out. That’s the principle we sued to defend. And today we won.
