New statement from Scott Pelley: Ā  There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes. Ā  The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS. Ā  ā€œ60ā€ has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration. Ā  The waste is heartbreaking. Ā  Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos. Ā  For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all. Ā  At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to ā€œkeep up the good fight.ā€ Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well. Ā  I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return. Ā  Scott Pelley

The discourse on this site today, basically.

I cannot co-sign this enough.
I see we have some new players in the NBA jersey arena. Its ethos, and our fight, has been centered around one key principle: home basketball teams wear white at every level of the game, in every league in the world. It is quite simply a basketball tradition, without it being a written requirement. What Nike has done has not only oversaturated the market with mostly unpopular designs, but uniforms that get left behind after just one season. The constant turnover has one goal: sell as many jerseys as possible, at any cost, even at the expense of the franchise’s brand equity. It is a statistical fact and focus group tested/proven that children like new jerseys, and their parents buy them. Non-white City Edition/Classic uniforms are often worn at home, it has a minimum appearance mandate because of the NBA’s partnership with Nike, forcing the away opponent to have to wear their home whites when they’re chosen. Every NBA game that’s played where the home team is not wearing white is a papercut to the sport’s tradition. Not the NBA’s, but basketball’s. It won’t be a tradition that’s destroyed overnight, but as children grow up and it becomes more-and-more accepted because it was never something they cared about or understood, the home whites will eventually be perceived to be just another option. You will rarely, if ever, see an NHL home team in their away white sweaters. Even though it’s the opposite of basketball, NHL/hockey have always maintained the tradition of the home team’s fashion look. I like to think they do this because it is something their paying customers appreciate and continue to support with their wallets. What the NBA doesn’t understand is the sales spreadsheet may suggest that this new jersey strategy is working because so many people are buying them, but what they are sacrificing to achieve these short-term results is the legacy of the sport that made them so cool in the first place. This business strategy, undoubtedly, will lead to apathetic fashion, market dilution, and diminishing returns with no ability to revert back — because that culture, both literally and figuratively, will be dead.

Pretty sure that anyone who buys a team and threatens to move the team by holding a city hostage for public funds is, by definition, evil. Owning a sports team is a social and economic contract, especially if you are not a local to the area. Investing locally is an obligation.
A note to anyone who thinks the Trail Blazers moving is a bluff: oregonlive.com/blazers/2026/…

It amuses me when people say this. Biden and Democrats passed huge legislation packages to help with the renewable energy transition and got nothing but blowback from the American public at large for even trying.
Reading about all the progress China is making with renewable energy while we sit and argue like some bitches is so frustrating. Billions in revenue AND savings are right there.

Trump killed Spirit confirmed.
Spirit Airlines says in court papers that it was forced to ground its fleet for good over the weekend because "recent geopolitical events resulted in a massive and sustained increase in fuel prices," per NBC

Is the USMNT good? No. But are the players likable? Also no. But do they at least seem like they care? Also no! But the tickets are 2,000 dollars and the head coach will yell at you if you don’t buy them

Yes. It's the same thing with the tennis line technology. Sometimes it's incredibly close, like the width of a human hair. But that's a million times better than humans fucking up calls with no recourse. This was a very risky challenge that could've been lost. It goes both ways.
You make the call: should pitches that are 99.9% out of the zone like this be a strike?

Dave has a really easy way out of this tomorrow, he can just be like "April Fools!" and we can't argue it.
99.9% of people who "experienced" the Challenger disaster saw it on replay and now remember it as live. Almost NO ONE was watching. Everyone thinks they were. It's a fascinating collective false memory.
Community note
