@studentactivism Excellent thread

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@KaynakNews A stern talking to by the ref. Nothing more.

@BangRadioHour @historyrock_ No complaints here. Love Rats, especially those wild lyrics. You know it’s great song when they open with it, as they often have.

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@BangRadioHour @historyrock_ Combination & Nobody’s Fault are the epitome of American hard rock. Both are criminally underrated. Perry showing his diversity and snarl on Combination and Whitford crafting what may be the greatest hard rock song ever. Love everything about this album; cover, inner sleeve.

@historyrock_ Ballad? Good lord. WYWH is not ballad, at least not in the way the term is used in rock music.

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@Underhill_Acct @JoshOnAir They both kinda suck for different reasons. Much prefer the TNT team. But to each their own.

@MattDaWhite @JGrayJets It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

@NBA_NewYork Two fans? lol. Wait until the Spurs get to NYC. They’ll be 20,000 fans doing far more than “vulgar profane flopping taunts”. I know it’s not on the Spurs per se, at least not in the moment, but they’re opening their team up to the NYC response. Makes for great theater though.

@AA062174 @PierreVLeBrun Isles were buyers at the deadline. Say what you will about what they bought, but they wanted the playoffs and I don’t think that was necessarily the wrong move…and I’m one who is for a younger and faster team.

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

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.

“60” 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.

The waste is heartbreaking.

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.

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.

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 “keep up the good fight.” 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.

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.

@Mikehomeseller @lhendricks92 Deep Purple’s “Who Do We Think We Are?” Yes, Woman From Tokyo is a classic, but the rest of it he album is so good and so underrated.

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@datadomNY Schaefer is my only “untouchable.” There are others (Sorokin especially) that would need to bring back a return that was Exorcist-level head turning.

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@IFANnetwork25 @WillChiarucci Lol. Need something more vague, like “upper body injury.” How about “immediate improved prognosis for overall team advancement.”

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@IFANnetwork25 @WillChiarucci This is the correct answer, but I’d disagree with “immediate impact”. Those returns may not mature for a few years, but could be true long term assets that elevate the team to a higher level of play, just not within the next few years.

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@historyrock_ Yes, but they surely would have evolved and that’s not a bad thing necessarily. Probably would have seen some more solo work/side projects. Not sure what impact MTV would have had on them, as the landscape of the music business changed a lot right at the time they disbanded.

[Isles4Cups @Psych_Borg]

@historyrock_ Yup. Machine Head has some of the wildest dynamics surrounding its recording. Laying down tracks at the Grand Hotel was a feat in and of itself. The song (SOTW) was also used as evidence by the band in a tax case again them. The person who shot the flare escaped from communism

@Hanwarrior @ThomssonJohan @SleeperNHL I know the full trade, but the main point of the transaction was moving Luongo so he could draft DP. Jokinen was okay. Parrish had some upside. Kasha was a bust. But there is no excuse for using the 1st overall to draft DP, especially when you have Luongo & the #5 pick.
