  1. Old and busted: LAPD brutality. New hotness: Oakland police brutality.
  2. The NFL (probably) shipped Vick to Philly. In all fairness, no one really wants to go to Buffalo.
  3. Did Motorola bludgeon Google into their deal?
  4. Groupon: still unprofitable, also resembles a Ponzi scheme.
  5. AT&T’s overcharging you for texts by 10 million percent.
  6. Cell phones might (might) make men sterile.

  1. Designing things to fail better.
  2. A torture lawsuit against Donald Rumsfeld will go forward. Who knows if this will ultimately accomplish anything–I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see it reach the Supreme Court (which most likely means it’ll die there).
  3. Edgar Allen Poe house museum is in trouble.
  4. Leftover carnitas + the first NFL preseason games = pulled pork empanadas.

Linkwad.

  1. ESPN to counter some of their football coverage’s reigning idiocy with a smarter QB stat.
  2. A profile of Gramercy Tavern and Shake Shack’s Danny Meyer.
  3. China’s escapades in government hacking.
  4. A new cheap, fast HIV test.

  1. Baltimore developers get $14.5 million in tax breaks, while homeowners pay taxes twice as high as the surrounding counties. Paterakis, FYI, was at the heart of the corruption scandal that ultimately kicked Sheila Dixon to the curb.
  2. Police should let people record them, says a cop. If only the rest agreed.
  3. What G+’s circles are really designed for.
  4. Friday Night Lights‘ series finale airs tonight on NBC, for those without DirecTV. Here’s Grantland’s oral history of the project.
