Indeed, it’s a strange day in America when rappers take a more progressive stance on human rights issues than pastors. But in some ways it makes perfect sense. After all, Jesus was the first gangsta rapper, right? Think about it: He broke laws unrepentantly, traveled with a posse of down-ass apostles, and was quick to spit a hot verse in front of... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
By taking on the powerful chief executive derisively known as “God-dell” to some NFL players, Vilma not only issued a challenge to the commissioner to produce some concrete evidence against the four players disciplined in the Saints’ bounty case, but he also took a symbolic shot at Goodell’s omnipotence. As viewed in NFL circles, a 30-year-old... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
Some journalists should learn how to code; others should learn enough to communicate with the smart people in the office tasked with building news apps; more should take a data-centered approach to their work, and pretty much everyone should understand how computers and the Internet work so they can properly explain things to their audiences.... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
Patrice is the only guy I can imagine trying to meet God as an equal. If I could somehow be looking at him in Heaven right now, and watched him meet God, I know I’d be thinking the same thing everybody else would be thinking. ‘Uh-oh, God shouldn’t have said that. Now he’s going to get hammered by Patrice.’ - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
In terms of what a gay teen-ager might encounter, and what other boys might go along with at a school like Cranbrook, 1965 was different; but memory and empathy are not qualities that have only been invented since then. As our country has changed, and the other boys became men, they seem to have turned the events of that day over in their minds,... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...

The ideal memorial is written from distance, a generous calculation of merit that proceeds honorably without abandoning accuracy. I have to apologize right now for being unable to give you that—Adam Yauch was a part of my childhood, an ambassador to America from our New York, which is now gone, as is he. - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
Online education is not new. The University of Phoenix started its online degree program in 1989. Four million college students took at least one online class during the fall of 2007. But, over the past few months, something has changed. The elite, pace-setting universities have embraced the Internet. Not long ago, online courses were interesting... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
THERE’S NO NICE way to say this, but it needs to be said: video games, with very few exceptions, are dumb. And they’re not just dumb in the gleeful, winking way that a big Hollywood movie is dumb; they’re dumb in the puerile, excruciatingly serious way that a grown man in latex elf ears reciting an epic poem about Gandalf is dumb. Aside from a... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
What makes data journalism different to the rest of journalism? Perhaps it is the new possibilities that open up when you combine the traditional ‘nose for news’ and ability to tell a compelling story, with the sheer scale and range of digital information now available. - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
Here’s what we can say for sure. In the spring of 1972, Ellington Air Force Base was becoming a hub for pilot training. Bush could reasonably argue, as he did, that fewer planes were available for him to fly, and he opted against training on the next generation fighter, the F-101. That explanation, however, doesn’t negate the other evidence but... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
I think we are at a point where we are asking whether you really need a film industry for a film to be made or a music industry to make music. People can now speak directly to their audiences. And the demands of an audience are very different to the demands of an industry. An industry wants to know about merchandising tie-ins with McDonalds –... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
There’s a law that might harm the Internet! Click. Beyoncé’s having a baby! Click. There’s pink slime in our hamburger meat! Click. You can almost hear the shells bursting in the nighttime sky. “The news itself has become so ubiquitous, so constant that our eyes only pop out when a really shiny object comes flowing down the river,” said Jim... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
You know I’m the first rapper to adopt a tabby cat. You know I adopted straight from the ASPCA, you feel me? Just breaking the boundaries, man, showing everybody it’s okay to be yourself. Embrace yourself. Embrace your health. Ayyy! Just continue to love yourself and accept. - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
Paul Westphal just got snuffed as Seattle SuperSonics coach. He joins a rather large fraternity. They all end up there, sooner or later. Paul Westphal wasn’t on the same page with All-Star guard Gary Payton in Seattle. The assumption, and we can believe it’s a good one, is that superstar Gary Payton — with an assist from Vin Baker, one of his few... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
How do people deal with the torrent of information pouring down on us all? What sources can’t they live without? We regularly reach out to prominent figures in media, entertainment, politics, the arts and the literary world, to hear their answers. This is drawn from a conversation with Ben Smith, editor-in-chief at BuzzFeed. In the morning, I make... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...

There’s something a bit precious about Linsanity right now, particularly as a national item of interest. The veering-toward-uncomfortable, occasionally overcompensatory awe of pundits and fans. The slight, slight, slight condescension that all this amusement suggests. Wednesday night was the first time during this unlikely run when Lin began to... - http://dominickbrady.tumblr.com/post...
