So here's a quote from @pablo.show that applies to not only his Clippers investigation but the best of what journalism can be: www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...
"I think that we have the ability to do something that the rest of our culture is yearning for, which is make people who are too rich to care about anything resembling the public interest worry that maybe they need to tell us the truth."

It's so weird how "As Speaker of the House, I have no idea what's going on... Like, in general," is an effective way to deflect scandal rather than being a massive scandal in itself.

Once again I must note that a major goal here is to destroy women’s sports. By redefining any woman who defies their strict rules for femininity as a “man,” they basically deny that women’s sports are real. Because, to them, a female athlete is not a woman. sports.yahoo.com/articles/wnb...

Sincere question: Why is paying a human editor to substantially clean up, or even rewrite, an academic manuscript, without acknowledgment, treated as normal, while using AI for comparable assistance is treated as misconduct by some?

All the discussions about higher education in the US seem to assume the default is elite private universities, Ivy League and equivalents, select small liberal arts colleges, and flagship state schools. The majority of students attending community colleges or regional schools are just erased.

I think what's going on is folks like Alito want to think of voting rights like Roe v Wade, where there was state legislation being passed, but the process really was overridden by the courts. But voting rights are the opposite. People put voting rights in a constitutional amendment & passed a law!

Keep hearing commentators/Hegseth saying a version of "this is not Iraq, we are not doing nation-building, it's a decapitation, the people will handle it." That's what Iraq 2003 was supposed to be! Nation-building, de-Baathification, disbanding of Iraqi army, it all came *after* things went wrong.

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do. #BlackHistoryMonth

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.
