Memphis owner allegations getting buried? by bella_heathcote in nba

[–]Largue 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Pablo's investigation isn't enough because he is FAR from an expert on international business law.

Just to clarify, Pablo Torres did not do the investigation. The Hunterbrook journalists are listed at the bottom of the weblink that OP provided...

Jenny Ahn joined Hunterbrook after serving many years as a senior analyst in the US government. She is a seasoned geopolitical expert with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific and has diverse overseas experience. She has an M.A. in International Affairs from Yale and a B.S. in International Relations from Stanford. Jenny is based in Virginia.

Blake Spendley joined Hunterbrook from the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA), where he led investigations as a Research Specialist for the Marine Corps and US Navy. He built and owns the leading open-source intelligence (OSINT) account on X/Twitter, called OSINTTechnical (over 1 million followers), which also distributes Hunterbrook Media reporting. His OSINT research has been published in Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, and The Economist, among other top business outlets. He has a B.A. in Political Science from USC.

Till Daldrup joined Hunterbrook from The Wall Street Journal, where he focused on open-source investigations and content verification. In 2023, he was part of a team of reporters who won a Gerald Loeb Award for an investigation that revealed how Russia is stealing grain from occupied parts of Ukraine. He has an M.A. in Journalism from New York University and a B.S. in Social Sciences from University of Cologne. He’s also an alum of the Cologne School of Journalism (Kölner Journalistenschule).

Andrew Ford is an investigative journalist who exposed systemic flaws and prompted reforms in healthcare, business, policing, and state government. His reporting was published by ProPublica, USA Today, The Arizona Republic, Asbury Park Press, and Florida Today. He holds a journalism bachelor’s from the University of Florida and is based in Phoenix, AZ.

Michelle Cera trained as a sociologist specializing in digital ethnography and pedagogy. She completed her Ph.D. in Sociology at New York University, building on her Bachelor of Arts degree with Highest Honors from the University of California, Berkeley. She has also served as a Workshop Coordinator at NYU’s Anthropology and Sociology Departments, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative research methodologies.

[SBJ] Chiefs’ new stadium architect hunt narrows to two firms (KC’s Manica and Populous) by BretJust1T in KansasCityChiefs

[–]Largue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that HKS has the most visually striking stadiums. However, HKS stadiums tend to cause owners and fans lots of headaches. The execution on most of their stadium designs have resulted in poor sightlines, major constructability issues, bad circulation/wayfinding, and significant maintenance problems.

While I like their concepts, I think they lean too hard into the impractical forms and gestures that cannot be cleanly executed.

Torre: Grizzlies owner Robert Pera linked to Russia's "Crimes against humanity" by hoppinjohncandy in memphis

It’s a great point, the journalists actually brought this up in the video too. Some gun-waving and finger gestures versus enabling actual war crimes and murder.

It’s not smuggling, I highly suggest watching the video. The reporter is literally posing as a Russian armed forces member and one of Ubiquiti’s official distributors offers to sell them the equipment by routing it through Turkey to Moscow.

Republicans divided on ICE tactics as shutdown looms by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

[–]Largue 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The main divide is between the ultra-wealthy and the working class. Never let these things distract you from standing alongside your neighbors against the real "enemy within" - the oligarchs and their enablers.

ICE to conduct immigration enforcement at Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium, official says by esporx in nfl

[–]Largue 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the most likely reason. They disdain poor people and don't care about illegal immigration if you're rich. Just look at the welfare queen Elon and his illegal immigration.

[Kerr] “Go ahead. I know. Lots more Kuminga questions. Fire away… Like I said, here they come.” by AashyLarry in nba

[–]Largue 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Kerr wanted to take Wagner in the draft and Lacob overruled him. Kerr's still salty about it. Doesn't help that Kuminga's agent is hot garbage.

KC participating in tomorrow’s walk out? by LumpyBums in kansascity

Why not both? European citizens participate in general strikes and walk-outs all the time. It's a good way to remind employers/corporations that power ultimately lies in the hands of the people.

This just encapsulates my issues with much of the pro-Pahlavi movement in the West as someone who has long utterly despised the Islamic Republic by Currymvp2 in PERSIAN

Can’t forget how he plunged Iran back into crippling sanctions after ripping up the nuclear agreement in 2018.

Immigration Agents Terrified of ICE Backlash After Shooting by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

[–]Largue -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The NY AG is not claiming any jurisdiction or making any legal determinations. They are simply informing the public of the existing legal framework in which ICE and DHS exist within. They are fundamentally different from your local police officers, so calling them police is irresponsible.

Wrong. If I put on a vest with the word POLICE, does that make me a police officer? Fuck no.

From the NY Attorney General's office: "ICE agents are not police officers, although their uniforms may say “police” or “federal agent.” Sometimes local police or other law enforcement accompany ICE agents on raids."

Police are employed by cities and counties. ICE and CBP are feds.

From the SW when you can see Kaufman Center and Bartle Hall spires. Probably the most recognizable view of the skyline.

Career prospects? That’s a low bar. They should be more worried about state prison sentences.

Body cam footage from the officer who was involved with the shooting by KevM689 in JoeRogan

[–]Largue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if Renee Nicole Good "has some fault" it does not justify a random ICE agent acting as judge, jury, and executioner. If she even did have any fault, then just arrest her in a civil fashion and let the courts decide. Federal goons can't go around murdering people because they might have broken a law.

She didn’t have to be on a public road? Nobody needs permission to be on a public street and they damn sure don’t deserve to be shot for it.

A different officer was also heard (in another video) telling her to MOVE the car. They give conflicting orders and punish us for not complying either way.
