what time does the rapture happen? do I have time to renew my car registration before it starts?

Good for Prime/Kaylee Hartung for both mentioning the investigation into Hill and actually saying what it’s about

I went to Roanoke College to visit with their new DIII football team. Like many small schools, they're looking for ways to increase/maintain enrollment. Will the football team aid in their long term enrollment efforts? The data shows lukewarm results.

got married on saturday, took a rare break from reading the news, what'd i miss

turn the bills game back on !

My barber in Chicago wants the National Guard to come to the city. He thinks crime is rampant. When I reminded him that shootings are down over 30% this year, he claims CPD is cooking the books. He thinks Trump has 'solved' all crime in DC.

quite the start to the nfl season

LUJAN: You hired a man named David Geier to conduct this study. Is that correct? RFK Jr: No LUJAN: Is Geier working for HHS? RFK Jr: He's a contractor LUJAN: Do you know that Mr Geier is listed on the HHS employee directory as a senior data analyst, not a contractor?

RIP Jean Baudrillard you would have had a field day writing about people who think AI enhanced images are real

The Average CEO Now Makes 632 Times More Than a Typical Worker | CEO pay has risen nearly 35% since 2019 in absolute terms, while their median worker pay hasn’t even kept up with the U.S. inflation rate. At Starbucks, the gap between CEO compensation and median worker pay hit 6,666 to 1 last year.

Really important work by everyone involved, this is an essential story that deserves ongoing media attention. Also a testament to the importance of long term, investigative journalism projects. Donate to these orgs if you can.

EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast.

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

All I had in my freshman dorm room was a mini fridge, a fight club poster, some sunflower seeds, and a traffic cone Material excess will not improve the college experience!

I’m in Virginia to cover Roanoke College’s (Division III) new football team. Like many small schools, they’re seeking solutions to combat declining enrollment. For Roanoke, football has given them an enrollment boost, and players are happy to be there

this might cure me, this might kill me

curious if there are studies out there on social media use and perceptions of life success. like i wonder if late 20s / early 30s demographic thinks they're doomed bc some peers are (perceived to be) achieving more

I wrote about the Labubu Dubai chocolate Love Island matcha latte of it all. There really has been a material change in how trends are produced and which ones are capable of catching on with huge audiences. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I feel bad for the students who were pushed to study comp sci by parents, advisors, etc. Over 170,000 current undergrad majors is insane. I'm sure some of them would have been happier in a humanities field

As the meat industry continues to consolidate and safety concerns mount in large slaughterhouses, small-time livestock farmers find a helping hand in independent butchers like Connor Barnes. barnraisingmedia.com/a-mobile-aba...

Because using AI to get your college degree is like having a robot do your cardio workout. Why even bother paying for the gym membership?

this is weird and sad. i really hope "interviews" with uncanny versions of someone's dead son doesn't become the norm

"...escalates the President’s unprecedented attacks on the independence & integrity of the federal statistical system. "The president seeks to blame someone for unwelcome economic news. "...firing Dr. McEntarfer is without merit & undermines the credibility of federal economic statistics..."

so apparently, creating a shareable link for a chatgpt conversation means that google indexes the conversation, potentially creating a privacy headache

As a firm believer in art as a mechanism to expose and expand ones mind with ideas and ways of being you wouldn't otherwise encounter, this is another deeply dark example of a middling and self-congratulatory technology eroding our tolerance for difference

oh my god

if you're a car owner in Chicago and only get one parking ticket a year, that's equivalent to being a white sox player with a ten game hitting streak

About a year and a half ago my partner (an editor) had to fire someone for plagiarizing and using chat gpt to write articles. that person works at forbes now lol

why do so many of you still have public venmo transactions

An absolutely damning story about John Fisher and the A's vaporware Las Vegas stadium. When this whole deal goes tits-up and Fisher has to sell to some white knight, it'll be a massive humiliation for Rob Manfred who has personally vouched for this relocation and stadium deal for years.

Perusing some court cases and came across this absolute gem of a footnote
