NCAA ordered to pay $18M to brain-damaged former SC State football player Robert Geathers, a defensive end for the SC State Bulldogs from 1977 to 1981, struggles with severe memory loss.

The first CTE case to receive a verdict is a global milestone in protecting athletes and producing informed consent for college athletes playing hockey, football, soccer, rugby, wrestling etc. College faculty should consider forcing the matter now.

Not hard to see that this ends badly.

University of Nebraska now spends more on administrators and managers than on faculty At first glance, they look like raises. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, a music professor’s salary jumped $13,000 in the past decade.

Nearly $500 million on administrator salaries, with another round of serious academic cuts coming soon.

What's up Bluesky, this is the Department of State and we're here to post some Hatch Act violations

They're the ones making our neighborhoods unsafe. They're the danger to our children. They're the threat to law and order.

Every time Harrison Butker misses a kick, a feminist gets her wings

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

so is this the fight against "left-wing terrorism"?

People think they’re taking down a rich intellectual sinecure but they’re mostly terrorizing committed public servants who make $58,000 a year after 15 years of experience at a school that has to budget creatively so students can access textbooks.

every day JB is out there showing none of this is hard, the democratic party is just that soft

People get so angry about this, I’ve found that interesting. There is definitely some resistance to the idea of reading, not just the act of doing it.

But yeah I am not watching a video, ever, if I can help it.

Federal funding cuts to pediatric brain cancer research ‘taking away hope’ from families Brain tumors are the leading cause of pediatric cancer-related death. In August, the Trump administration announced it would stop supporting a federally funded network dedicated to researching these d...

It's so weird to me that the Dems are not screaming daily that this administration is pro-cancer www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

There is no argument against birthright citizenship other than “I am incredibly racist and don’t like it”

It is clearly and simply spelled out in the 14th amendment - if you are born here, you are an American citizen.

Holy hell is this well-done. Smart, thoughtful. Fantastic.

Welp.

They’ve been running on the morning news in Philly for awhile. Sickening

What would be interesting to read today is a smart cultural critic with a deep knowledge of TV & a firm grasp on the context of not just today's events but Hollywood history!

OH WAIT you fired Sepinwall @rollingstone.com

ah well, who could have foreseen that such expertise would ever be useful

Every time I see Trump claim vast powers over economic policy that the Constitution does not give him, often only for the Supreme Court to step in and go 'seems legit,' I can't help but think about the Court carrying on as if canceling some student loan debt was shocking executive overreach

They assume that when Democrats take control their fascist censorship will be forgiven.

It seems fairly obvious that the full amount of money will be donated no matter what, but given we're living in an era where essential programs and institutions left and right are being gutted and having their funding rescinded (*ahem*), this is in the poorest of taste, and worse: it ain't funny!

Oh my God. Get Jennifer Coolidge off the stage and give everybody an extra 10 seconds for their acceptance speeches. #Emmys

bargatze so far really giving off a "started writing this last night and now i'm gonna double the margins on the teleprompter" mood

But also? His lovely speech felt like it was over 45 seconds, which then plays into this terrible Boys and Girls Club gimmick. (I'm sure the show will end with Nate doubling the donation amount or something like that, but still. This gag sucks.)

Dear Brazil, can we borrow your Supreme Court?

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool
