Gendered violence is a systemic cultural and societal problem. And when one of these cases boils to the top, you can see that in how many survivors come forward to explain how similar their experiences are, in ways both big and small.

This is great. Jameis's public profile makes me feel like I am taking crazy pills. "Every charming quote from Winston shared across platforms...serves as a reminder that sports media writ large appears to value those who have been accused of sexual assault rather than survivors."

It is really remarkable that in a time of historic impasse in Congress, with both houses have been reduced to complete standstills despite a mounting number of political, economic, and ethical crises, both parties have spent months working to pass a bill limiting the pay of college athletes

Nothing in this bill is going to make college sports better. It will not improve competitive balance. College sports has never had that. It simply limits spending on athletes. And reduces their freedom. This allows more money to flow to coaches and administrators and maintains their freedom.

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

all due respect but "i am going to launch a satellite into space to power the sentient computer i believe has the potential to wipe out the human race" does sound a lot like something a villain would say in a movie where James Bond sleeps with a woman named Veronica Melons

People should be mad they’ve been manipulated but also I hope people wonder why even in conditions that allow participation that there’s less than 10 *out* collegiate trans athletes that this group could find. There’s over 200,000 division 1 college athletes, for example.

If you listen to any hoops pods, this is a devastatingly accurate parody. But, even above that, this is one of the most well-executed internet bits (any category) I've ever seen. Just ruthless adherence to the joke format. This is transcendent YouTube content.

Great profile of the leading AI detector, Pangram, and the people behind it—including a former English major who wrote a thesis on Ishiguro (me too). Fascinating snapshot of our cultural moment with AI, and a sober reflection on the future of the internet, teaching, and human communication.

As a fellow zero unread email I get all the love for that. But it’s the “looking for work” thing I’m in 100% agreement with.
I've read and listened to a lot of people talk about how it's revolutionized their workflow, and they're training agents to make appointments and they're building these elaborate meal plans. And to me, that doesn't sound interesting.
That just sounds exhausting. We have this phrase in football called "looking for work," when a player on the field is looking for work-looking for someone to block, for example. And I just think about that whenever I hear those stories. It just sounds like you're looking for work.
Also, just fucking do it yourself. It's not that hard to make a fucking restaurant reservation

The Cardinals, in response to home-plate umpire Doug Eddings telling rookie Hancel Rincon to fix his hat last night, all wore tipped caps in their dugout tonight. The Rockies did, as well, after Eddings claimed Hunter Goodman asked for Rincon to fix his hat, something Goodman strongly denied.

As a former professional football player, I can confidently say that this essay is incorrect from every conceivable angle, and contributes heavily to the culture of toxic masculinity that still infests high schools and colleges across the country.

I think it’s safe to say that some version of this essay by Ben Sasse on youth football has been written for over 100 years. “Football is a character-forming institution that channels strength… In a culture of passivity, football privileges action. In times of peace, football prepares us for war.”
