So we did a podcast with such a great guest that I had to write the story up. It's about an obscure clique of consultants who make you pay more for power without your knowing it. Let me explain: prospect.org/environment/...

On today's episode of Hey Not The Face! @crooklyn.bsky.social and I discuss the Ali Act. What is it? What does it do? Why would Ari Emanuel and TKO want to possibly get rid of it? Could they do ? And what would boxing look like if they achieved that? open.substack.com/pub/heynotth...

This is a historic legal case for the sport of MMA and as far as I understand it, a huge result for antitrust, with only 2 people covering the final proceedings. Nash and Josh Gross. Kudos to you guys for showing up. I get that this was mostly procedural, but I laughed out loud when I heard that.

Hey yo! FREE episode alert 🚨 @heynottheface.bsky.social & I discussed the UFC antitrust fairness hearing that saw the case officially settled. heynottheface.substack.com/p/the-first-...

For today’s Heynottheface @crooklyn.bsky.social and I go over yesterday’s poceeding in Vegas where Judge Boulware approved the settlement and distribution plan for Le v Zuffa. open.substack.com/pub/heynotth...

Hey kids, @heynottheface.bsky.social & I recorded but very late (just finished 5 mins ago), so we're gonna air the episode first thing in the morning. It will be completely FREE so do make sure to catch the episode.

Me & @crooklyn.bsky.social will be recording a Hey Not The Face! Episode later today in order to go into all the details.

With no objections Judge Boulware approves the settlement and distribution plan for Le v Zuffa. UFC attorneys stress the company wants all the fighters to file for and collect their settlement.

These people are outraged - outraged I tell you - that the U.S. government pays for news subscriptions and other services so that those working in the government can stay informed on breaking news and public opinion. We are so screwed.

This Day in Labor History: February 3, 1908. The Supreme Court decided the case of Loewe v. Lawlor. In it, it declared that unions violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Act by calling for a secondary boycott in solidarity with a strike. Once again, the Supreme Court was the enemy of the working class!

ICYMI: @heynottheface.bsky.social & I have a new episode up where we discuss stupid things fighters say and why UFC likely isn't enforcing the Code of Conduct.

If we're being honest, saying that "Hitler wasn't all bad" is basically a free square on the MMA fighter bingo card
