Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

Well done, Donald. With your usual 3D chess brilliance, you have given Virginia extra Democratic seats. Glory!

I can’t remember: did Texas even hold a vote to amend their constitution to add their five Republican seats?

List of college basketball national players of the year, All-Americans: CBS Sports' archive of award-winners Our comprehensive archive of college hoops All-Americans, Players, Freshmen and Coaches of the Year dating back to the mid-2000s

I went as far back into the archives as possible to dig up every end-of-season men's college basketball award and All-America team. (Our 2012-13 NPOY was a surprise.)

We've got 20 years worth of honorees. Take a stroll through memory lane; the idea is to update this link every March moving forward.

Why Yale’s term paper on what’s wrong with college gets a ‘D-’ | Will Bunch An Ivy League university's report on the loss of faith in higher ed ignores what really killed the American Dream of college.

That Yale report on what's wrong with U.S. college saw some trees (high cost, unfair admission, etc.) but missed the forest: the 60-year right-wing crusade to undermine higher ed, from slashing budgets to stifling speech

New on the Anthropic settlement from the @authorsguild.org : over 91% (!!) of eligible books were claimed as of the claims deadline (I would not have predicted such a high number!)

Looks like the payout will be close to the $3000 originally estimated authorsguild.org/news/anthrop...

True: "When the government engages in content discrimination, it is restricting speech on a given subject matter." The issue described here sounds like right wingers requesting carte blance to say whatever dumb crap they want to say and be able to sue if people don't like it.

The US higher ed system was the envy of the world and a primary driver of US economic and cultural success. Why should we believe right wing bad fail efforts to bring it down? They're wrong about just about everything else.

Also..."viewpoint discrimination" is not a thing. Since when are "stupid hot takes" a Protected Class?
