Christianity Was β€œBorderline Illegal” in Silicon Valley. Now It’s the New Religion Believers like Garry Tan are flipping the script in the venture capital world, making faith matter just as much as the ability to turn a fortune. Says one entrepreneur, β€œThere are people that are leve...

Speaking of serious journalism, its the likes of Teen Vogue, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair that are doing serious journalism on Silicon Valley because other so-called serious news outlets are doing a press-releases-as-journalism service to maintain their access.

WSJ OPINION
Ms. Clark's targeting may reflect a culture of disparate treatment, and the evidence provides reasonable cause for a federal probe into potential civil-rights violations. This would mirror the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigation into Dearica Hamby's pregnancy discrimination claims against the WNBA and her team. Congress and the Labor and Justice departments would be justified in examining the facts.
At Harvard and Columbia during antisemitic protests, institutional leaders played down threats and failed to protect students. Congress and the Trump administration demanded answers.
Columbia's recent $221 million settlement for civil-rights violations shows the effect of such scrutiny.

Conservatives care about women’s sports in exactly two scenarios: Riley Gaines getting her ass beat, and seeing refs miss a jersey pull while Caitlin Clark is running around a screen

It has elements of California Split, Superbad and Wedding Crashers as well as Adventureland- about teens in Nebraska. The most underseen movie of the couple years. Really really good in my book.

What Would Roberto Clemente Do? The right fielder would want the baseball players’ union to fight the Trump administration’s campaign of terror against immigrants and their families.

If he were alive today, Roberto Clemente would use his moral authority to stand up to an aspiring dictator and condemn the cowardice of Major League Baseball, writes @edgeofsports.bsky.social. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Like… you watch a modern cult classic like β€œAccepted” and you can see that it TRIED its damndest to get there and fell short…

And it was released back in 2006.

When you see modern cult classic coming of age films like β€œThe House Of D”, β€œJust Looking” & β€œLittle Manhattan” it’s very obvious watching them they were inspired by older films and tried to emulate a similar aesthetic & feel…

I don’t think it’s possible to replicate the feel of an β€˜80s movie today

I mean really what we are seeing is people feeling comfortable revealing in various ways that they agree with the authoritarian white supremacists on at least one thing: 2020 anti-racism went too far and so did trans positive feminism

Hence the β€œstop overreacting” and bizarre nostalgia for the 90s

What the Columbia Settlement Really Means

This post, from the Knight Institute at Columbia, is worth reading:

"Those of us at Columbia should understand how our university is being transformed, and those at other universities contemplating similar settlements should understand how much is at stake."

Calling literacy in a β€œscreen/video world” an β€œelite” undertaking is quite a feat, man.

The distinction being made between working class people and β€œeducated people” is also pretty freaking offensive if you ask me

I think it's because women's hoop (particularly NCAA) really blew up in popularity post-COVID and post-NIL because the stars were able to massively expand their reach via social media (mostly IG)

It's WILD to me that all the folks caping for Caitlin Clark weren't engaged back when Kelsey Plum was a media darling between 2013-17 @ Washington OR between 2016-20 when Sabrina Ionescu was doing the same @ Oregon...

Is it because they were in the Pacific Northwest instead of the Great Plains?

Because they can call her the face of the league all they want to but Paige Bueckers has that bone structure, blonde hair and killer blue eyes as the white folks say (and the WW be swooning over her on the clock app), a great personality, is very good at media, and a game that is truly GENERATIONAL
