American Airlines flight from Wichita to Reagan crashes into a helicopter over Potomac as it approaches the airport, if early Twitter reports are to be believed. This would snap a crazy long streak of commercial airline safety in the US, if I'm not mistaken. x.com...

TLDR: We're moving to Pittsburgh in June and looking for advice, mostly on where to target for living. Probably but not definitely a suburb. Schools are important. The long version: My wife just accepted a new job at U of Pittsburgh. A little like @exmediahack's thread, we're reluctantly moving...

It's heartbreaking covering the Olympics has come to this for the Denver Post...

Lived a heck of a life. Bob Dole, Old Soldier and Stalwart of the Senate, Dies at 98

https://www.denverpost.com/2020/10/12/denver-protest-shooting-photos-full-sequence/ I’m sure this was touched on in the Trump thread but there’s a pretty major journalism element to this Denver shooting, as well. First, the shooter was hired by local TV to guard their reporter. Then it...

A little hard to follow the story here, but seems like Greeley laid off its two-person sports department in a city of 100,000 with a D1 university and a whole bunch of high schools. The publisher gets pretty defensive on Twitter: Apparently there's a plan to hire one person to replace...

RIP to the basketball brain that helped list some of the best players and teams of all time, and to an all-time great K-Stater. Tex Winter, Brain Behind Basketball’s Triangle Offense, Dies at 96

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/06/04/out-of-context-but-in-the-campaign-candidate-calls-gabby-giffords-hero-of-nothing/ Yes, they all do it. They all make campaign commercials that drastically misrepresent people's points or take comments miles and miles out of context, or simply...

The Kindle thread on the Sports and News board got me thinking. "What's next?" really is fascinating to think about because it's so hard to know. The iPod was introduced 10.5 years ago. There have been a dozen fairly radical different offshoots of it in that decade, and now they're all nearly...

Colbert's Super PAC releases its financials. Brought in more than $1,000,000. Colbert has been nothing short of brilliant with this Super PAC stuff. I've long been a fan, but from the Parry campaign to the Mitt serial killer ad to the Cain/Colbert campaign all the way to tonight's fight with...

Showed up a couple places. No link at the moment.

So about a month ago I booked a seven-day Westerns Caribbean cruise with two friends through Carnival. We're leaving from Miami May 1, going to Grand Cayman, Belize City, Isla Roatan in Honduras and Cozumel, Mexico. First, none of us have ever spent any time in Miami and I was wondering what...

Next person or organization I see calling it the "Superbowl" I'm going to run over with a tank. Probably 75 percent of my Facebook friends call it the Superbowl, and today for the second day in a row (that I've noticed) my paper ran giant ads for sports bars or grocery stores calling it the...

Anyone else hit a midnight showing? I have to imagine I wasn't alone in that. I was amazed how packed the theater was. I also went to a midnight showing of Iron Man 2 and it was my six friends and about three other people in the theater. Potter, in two theaters tonight, wasn't sold out, but at...

All the standard DB disclaimers. It's yesterday's news, but I haven't seen anything here yet. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/09/29/star-wars-release-coming-soon-theater-near/ It all depends on the kind of quality they can come up with here, but I have some serious doubts. It could be...

So, I thought some international weapons treaty discussion would be fun ... No, not really. I saw the Jolie movie last night. It was some damn, damn solid action. I was entirely engrossed and when the movie was over, I couldn't believe so much time had passed. That said, I was disappointed...

This is fairly dumb: do the "left" and "right" speaker inputs refer to left and right as you look at the TV or as you are looking with your back to the TV?

So I've been through all the threads with Vegas tips i.e. where to eat, what to see, where to stay -- Me and my buddies, on the stereotypical bachelor party, are staying at Mandalay Bay -- but what I'm looking for is some gambling advice. I've always done OK at poker. I feel it's a game where...

http://thedirty.com/ Wow. I hadn't been to that site until yesterday, and I can't believe how far it goes trashing random people. I ran across a few women I know with scathing comments attached calling them sluts, skanks and deck-loving whores. I don't know if there's any kind of legal action...

Let's pretend I had a feature I wanted to pitch featuring a Detroit native. To whom would this feature be best pitched? Free Press? News? Is there a big alt-weekly magazine that might eat it up, or a regular local magazine? Could be as short as 1,000 words or much longer. Comes with photos...
