So just to be clear the FA rule is that Emi Martinez is strictly forbidden from promoting betting companies except for every time he puts on an Aston Villa shirt

In the midst of all this chaos, I lost my main job. Host/funder of the podcast I developed and produced said he’d be stopping production indefinitely in less than a month πŸ˜ƒ

If anybody needs a reporter/fact checker/podcast producer / host coach / story editor I am available and DMs are open

Anyway, I’m really hopeful that I can find more journalism or podcast work. This industry has been quite difficult and despite it all, I feel very connected to it and would be very sad to leave it.

In print, I’ve covered labor, local politics, sports, music, housing/real estate, immigration and culture. I write profiles, hard news, explainers, and investigations. I’ve written for print, websites and newsletters.

Both of the podcasts I produced in 2025 won awards. I have work on audio and video podcasts, narrative, news, chat and interview shows. I also hosted and reported an audio short for the NYT about beatboxing (my side-beat)

Said this in a newsroom meeting one time and I was pretty sure that was going to be the last day of my little internship by the way everyone was aghast

The most charitable interpretation of Platner still leaves us with someone plainly unfit for any elected office, much less the Senate. I don't think it's hyperbolic to say there are risks in putting into high office a person who keeps saying "whoops, another neo-Nazi association, I'm such a dummy."

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

Over the past decade, since 2016 or so, the cordon sanitaire against overt Nazism in one of the two major political parties in the US has basically entirely broken down. It will not be good for this country if the other party follows.

It's a really good draw for Arsenal, no doubt about that.

And while I’m here, the top 5 countries in terms of beatboxing output and impact are France, USA, Korea, Japan, and Germany / UK depending on the year

For those who are curious, geographic footprint is also a big contributor. French beatboxers spend far more time with each other because of their proximity

In the beatbox world, people wonder why USA, the historic home of hip hop, is barely keeping pace with France in terms of talent and output. State funding for the arts is a massive reason

Royals owner admits β€œurgency” in stadium deal is fear of missing out on taxpayer money Speaking of deadlines,Β Kansas City Royals owner John Sherman hasn't set any for his long-running campaign for a new baseball stadium somewhere in or around the K.C. area, but he still surely knows tha...

Royals owner John Sherman appears to be admitting that the urgency is all on his end: Any stadium offer on the table from KCMO may not be there forever, and he'd better grab it before city officials realize what leverage they have.
