In a post published to the website on Monday, marked as Martin Luther King Day in the U.S., Peikoff published an excerpt from an open letter penned by the American civil rights leader in 1963—now known as the “Letter from Birmingham Jail.” “But though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label,” read the quote, uploaded after Parler’s partial return this week....

All three companies have said that they took action against Parler, which is popular amongst right-wingers, because of its refusal to moderate hate speech and content that incites violence on the platform. “What we disagreed about was whether the first resort—especially it wouldn’t be any resort for us in a normal situation—would be to subject people to 24/7 surveillance, to doing all of the data mining that the other platforms do....

The emergency suit, filed Sunday, sought to prevent AWS from shutting down Parler at the end of the day. It compares the removal of the platform to “the equivalent of pulling the plug on a hospital patient on life support.” “It will kill Parler’s business—at the very time it is set to skyrocket,” the complaint reads. Pitching itself as a free-speech alternative to Twitter, Parler has become one of the fastest-growing apps in the United States in recent months....

NEWSWEEK: So who can tell me what it is that you people do for a living? Are you mostly on the phone all day long? STACEY SHER: Oh, that was so cheap! Mostly on the phone all day long. That’s the problem. That’s the perception. Producing is probably the most undervalued job. It’s the credit that’s given away the quickest because it’s really hard to define. But it’s all-encompassing. For every movie it’s a different thing....

Wenger’s instinct has always been to protect his own and that fierce loyalty was displayed just days after the infamous Szczesny smoking episode at St Mary’s stadium. The Gunners had just lost a Premier League game to Southampton and the goalkeeper took out his frustrations by lighting up in the away team changing room. What are the odds on Arsenal beating Bayern in pre-season? “Human beings are human beings with their strengths and weaknesses, that has not changed....

Paxton’s lawsuit argues that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin unlawfully changed their election laws during the coronavirus pandemic. The legal challenge has been widely panned, with some critics suggesting that Paxton—who is under investigation by the FBI for alleged corruption—is looking for a pardon from Trump. Robertson, a former Southern Baptist minister, made the remarks Thursday during his show The 700 Club on the Christian Broadcasting Network, of which he is the chairman....

Bergeron comes back after his eight-year, $55 million contract expired this summer. The captain for Boston had been tied to retirement rumors, however he and the Bruins had been working towards the one-year deal for quite some time now. Similarly, Krejci and the Bruins were also in discussions for most of the summer, so neither contract comes as a surprise. Krejci left the NHL last season to play in his home country of the Czech Republic, but returns to the Bruins for the 2022-23 season, the only NHL club he has played for....

Mahomes suffered the injury as he attempted a quarterback sneak during the Chiefs’ 30-6 road win in Denver against the Broncos in Week 7. The 24-year-old appeared to have his knee popped back into place while he was receiving treatment on the ground, before being helped off the field. Mahomes subsequently underwent an MRI scan which showed no sign of ligament or cartilage damage and put the recovery timetable to between three and six weeks—even though, bizarrely, some suggested Mahomes could return in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers....

Kyler Murray joined Aaron Rodgers and Deshaun Watson as the QBs whose massive extensions each pay more than the $45 million per year Mahomes will average over the life of his deal. But Mahomes said he’s not concerned about how much other NFL quarterbacks are making per year, or where he stands in the field. Mahomes said that he thinks it’s great for the quarterback market to add new, higher-paying deals, and he wants players to continue getting paid....

Patrick Orlando, chief executive of Digital World Acquisition Corp, is running the merger between DWAC and Trump Media & Technology Group’s (TMTG) social media platform, which is planning a public release next year.

According to Golfweek, an attorney for the 2018 Masters champion wrote a cease-and-desist letter to Chamblee, demanding he stop labelling his client a cheater for his conduct during the third round of the Hero World Challenge at the Bahamas last month.

Although Gordon has yet to speak with the media since returning to the Patriots, the wide receiver penned an emotional letter that he shared on social media. “Before the 2019 season starts, I would like to address an issue that arose toward the end of last season,” Gordon wrote, in part. “It’s been well documented that I have battled substance abuse for quite some time. Unfortunately, I did not take the time to focus on a solution to my problem until this past year....

MORE: Scores, stats from Week 2 Garoppolo, good as he was in limited action, was only playing because of Tom Brady’s four-game suspension. Now, it could be up up to rookie Jacoby Brissett to hold the fort. Brissett, a third-round choice out of N.C. State, went 6-of-9 after taking over on Sunday.

That’s reality for members of the Patriots. MORE: Sports’ smartest athletes Kevin Clark and Daniel Barbarisi of the Wall Street Journal detailed the specifics of the random quizzes. One example is of Belichick asking former backup quarterback Matt Cassel a question. “Hey, we’re in the high red zone, it’s second-and-six from the 18. What’s Indianapolis’ favorite blitz?” Cassel would answer, “overloading the weak side.” Then Belichick would turn to Brady and ask “do you concur?...

The approach worked. New England won a wild-card berth in 2021 on the backs of its new players and first-round rookie quarterback Mac Jones. The Patriots lost to the Bills in embarrassing fashion in that contest, but there was a reason for optimism, as New England was seemingly building a potential AFC contender. However, the feeling surrounding the team has changed a bit during the 2022 NFL offseason. New England hasn’t made too many drastic alterations to its roster....

The Line: Colts -3 (EVEN), Total: 58 For starters, look at that OVER/UNDER. According to Spreadapedia.com, only 11 NFL games since 1978 have had a closing total of 58 or more. Twelve games have closed at 57.5 points or more, with 16 closing at 57 or more. For the record, the OVER is 9-7 in games with totals of at least 57 points, though that’s hardly a big data set....

I thought about that scene as the midterm election results came in Tuesday night. In the wake of a stinging defeat for his party that has clearly put the president in a terrible mood, it seems a good time to ruminate on the story of Oedipus. In the Greek tale, Laius, believing a prediction that his son would one day kill him, had his infant boy hobbled with nails driven into his ankles and then taken to the mountains and left there....
