One of his jobs is something like 'Chief Monetisation Officer' at Spotify, so I am fully convinced it was his idea to withhold royalties from songs with low streaming numbers, solely so he could give House From DC another podcast

I don't even remember what the Tim Burke thing was about, was it that he was alleged to have 'hacked' into a site and stolen a video?

skaboomizzy posted:He found FoxNews satellite feeds from commercial time on an unencrypted site and published them, is the best I can figure. My memory is that a local Fox affiliate had left a link and their credentials on a site for local users just to log in to at their own perusal. And then Burke was able to save some raw satellite feed of things they didn’t want out there, including Tucker Carlson’s Kanye interview I think. In any case to use a metaphor it’s not lock picking, it’s finding the small text in the local newspaper that “the combo for the lock is 5-15-40” and then when you go inside you see things you shouldn’t and take video and share that. Defector of course has a good summary: https://defector.com/tim-burkes-indictment-is-a-political-choice-disguised-as-a-legal-act quote:But the basic narrative is as follows: In 2022, a Twitter user whom the indictment calls "CONSPIRATOR 2"—Burke says he doesn’t know that person’s identity—DMed him two sets of login credentials. One set was for the file transfer protocol server of an unidentified sports league, and the other was for a back-end streaming platform used by broadcasters that the indictment refers to as "Network #1" and "Network #2"—one of which, for reasons that will soon become apparent, is Fox News. These credentials gave Burke access to feeds of the broadcasters' cameras, even if they weren’t on air. Over a few months, Burke downloaded a handful of clips that he “disclosed” in various formats, all without the express written consent of Rupert Murdoch. harperdc fucked around with this message at 09:25 on May 4, 2024 |

Sounds like what he did was probably technically illegal somehow but there was also less than zero actual need for an indictment or prosecution. Kinda like jaywalking on a deserted street at 4 AM.

Because it is so different than learning any other team name? It is impossible for my caring about the WNBA to be less than it is and I know that Washington is the Mystics. Turns out learning something that trivial didn't even take effort! It just sort of happened!

Only think I could see wrong with the Fever name is that people’s first assumption is probably that they’re based in Miami (as a counterpart to the Heat) since there was historically some twinning of WNBA/NBA names; but I would guess all the upcoming media exposure will fix that regardless.

Yeah I’m not sure I’ve even watched an entire WNBA game ever (this isn’t a misogynistic flex, I barely even watch the NBA) but I bet I could name every city if you gave me the team name. If you paid me to write about sports I could probably name the starting lineup for the entire league.

He changed his sexism from that to "as the father of a daughter..." sexism when he had Lena Dunham on the show, so uh... hey, it's a somewhat different form of sexism?

morestuff posted:I realize this is back-to-back posts by me with clips from the BS Report but jesus christ If you draw up the WNBA brand new in 2024, it might be better - it’s what AFLW has done in Australia, and what most of the women’s soccer clubs in Europe are doing. But the WNBA didn’t start this year. Shifting to that just because Bill Simmons moved the goalposts again isn’t smart.

Most of them are pretty lousy names, but that's also true of almost all MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL teams that didn't exist before 1995 too

Three MLB teams are named after their sock color and two of those are the same color. I understand why Atlanta is called the Dream but it sounds like a Lingerie Football League name without context. Minnesota Lynx is a sick name. The rest of them are basically fine except for the one named after a casino.

Feels Villeneuve posted:It is also what a majority of college teams have done since women's NCAA sports existed (with some minor exceptions like Louisiana Tech). Sure, but my point is the W is almost 30 years old, and the Fever themselves are 24 years old. The time to do that was at the start, not with this much history already built up, because then it looks even more bush-league.

Colleges and Euro clubs usually name their teams the same thing across all sports, so keeping men’s and women’s teams consistent makes sense and reflects their weird amateur roots. Don’t really get the logic in pinning a diminutive on women’s teams when half the teams in the same city don’t even share ownership

Counterpoint: those sock ones are simple and organic. We're the Reds because we wear red, obviously. Makes more sense than most names! Lynx is probably the best of all of them. Regionally appropriate animal, an underused medium cat (compared to the commonly used big cats), and plays off well with the other basketball team in the area. Liberty isn't bad. Mercury is a little punny for me, but that's not any different than Miami Heat or Orlando Magic. Aces is about as on the nose as you can get. The rest though... Sky? Really?
