Episode Description: This week on Blocked and Reported, Jesse is off “slaying the spire” (gross) so Katie interviews the publicist Mitchell Jackson, formerly known as the writer Mitchell Sunderland. Mitchell was famously fired from Vice in 2017 after his emails to then-Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos were leaked to BuzzFeed, and for the first time ever, Mitchell tells his side of this story. Plus, Mitchell’s unique upbringing in a Florida puppy dynsaty, how he helped rehab the infamous influencer Caroline Calloway, and what to do—and what not to do—when facing cancelation.

Who had the stupid idea to turn the Green Jersey mudgreen?

Isn't it part of the prestige of the leader jerseys that they stick out in the peloton?

Now the jersey almost looks like a military camouflage. They made it more difficult to find the green Jersey in the sprint train.

As much as this message may be urgent, this is not the right sub for it. There's no technology angle to the article.

What I love so much about pro cycling nowadays is how plentiful the resources in expert race analysis are and how deep the access is to the cyclists in the ground. Between YouTube Channels and podcasts, you can get alternative live coverage of a stage from the Lanterne Rouge YouTube channel or get race analysis in podcast form by current pros (and as was the case with Geraint Thomas at this year's Giro the actual GC leader of the race!).

The accompanying coverage has become a major part of my excitement of watching pro cycling.

So I was wondering: What YT channels, podcasts or else are you guys listening to or watching this season?

Nails on this stage too??

All good :) we all need to get used to Twitter being broken.

Twitter got some metaphorical nails in its tyre.

[–] halki 2 points 1 year ago

Apparently Tom Pidcock was also affected and he had to descend with the nails in the tire.

Absolute criminal - hope they refer it to the police.

For those without Twitter:

Tweet: "Merci pour ce genre de connerie humaine … je pense ne pas avoir été le seul victime de crevaison dans le final … sachez qu’on peut tomber et se faire très mal avec vos conneries bande d’abrutis … 🤬"

Same problem with Mastodon.

So many of the most popular posts are self referential - about Mastodon, Twitter or Elon Musk.

Knowing how strict Netflix is with metrics the documentary must have been an audience success. Happy to see that!
