Some highlights, summarized:

* Calls himself British, moved to Florida when he was 5.
* Went to Brandeis, Yale, wrote for Guardian
* Started left-wing Current Affairs magazine. Fired all his employees when they tried to turn it into a worker-owned co op.

Typical blue-blood socialist. So of course Kyrie likes him.

The part where his parents gave him a magazine and he shut it down rather than let the staff unionize leads him a certain air of insincerity but I admit I was using the term a bit fast-and-loose and will happily give up 5 points on my score

his parents were kickstarter backers along with hundreds of other people, and the staff weren't trying to unionise. where's the score sitting now

Trying to make it a worker-owned co-op is also an awesome thing he should have let them do but I extend my most heartfelt apologies for misspeaking to any NJR fans in the thread especially Kyrie

based on the tweet Kyrie RTed I thought he was gonna be a comedian who suddenly became anti cancel culture after he was accused of sexual assault. so

took me a minute to find it but this is a good read about the Current Affairs fiasco. it's nobody's fault if their impression is that NJR did a union-busting (or co-op busting) since that was the story that mostly stuck on twitter at the time but it doesn't seem remotely true in hindsight

My TL keeps pushing stories about NBC buying up the TNT package in the next TV deal. It's already tedious without JVG games but it would absolutely suck balls to lose Inside the NBA.

That would suck. I don't understand why it is so hard for networks to put on NBA coverage with people who both know basketball, can competently call/analyze a game, and can at least convincingly pretend that they want to be there.
