Thought of my Dad a lot while producing this story -- on Dusty Baker & his son Darren growing up after finding fame in the 2002 World Series

Somehow we live in a world where TMZ is doing better journalism on the LA mayor’s race than CBS News now That’s a sad state of affairs

This is pretty ironic Now that Facebook employees are being tracked to train AI, they’re turning into “privacy zealots.” Ain’t no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun

Despite controversy surrounding its Big Data + Panel measurement framework and public criticism from NBCU and the NFL, experts say Nielsen is likely to keep its grip on TV currency: bit.ly/4uyHO1Y Take a look at an additional story in The Current this week 👇

It is insane we’re watching two other worldly, never before seen players in Wemby and Shohei at the same time

Wemby’s the best player in the league and it’s not even close

#Valkyries general manager Ohemaa Nyanin addresses the Flau’jae Johnson/Marta Suarez swap. Said the move was for cap flexibility.

@sicklyons I just love how it tastes worse but is really optimized for profit

@ChrisBrooklier The expensive water! Yummmmm

we can't have anything nice.

@ByEliLederman @UCLAFootball @TheUCReport @SCNext @espn Pretty insane work to first refer to MJD as a "record setting punt returner" when he was a top line running back. The story never refers to him as a running back at all
