Folks who don't go to college are critical of the concept of college.

I'm very thankful that so many were released today. If you were an Israeli soldier pulled from a tank during a battle, you were a "hostage" and if you were a Palestinian child seized by the IDF without charge you were a "prisoner." I'd love to understand that logic @nytimes.com @nbcnews.com

In the wake of polling last week that showed Democrats viewing Israel through the same lens as apartheid South Africa, multiple leading Democrats are publicly disavowing AIPAC. Today's latest example is McMorrow in Michigan, but it's becoming hard to track all of the pledges.

I know folks are really bummed about the keys to CBS News being tossed over to a new-media startup, but "network news" has been dead for a very long time. This is just the tombstone.

The deeper I look at this un-sponsored foray by Big XII to host a game in 90K seat Wembley, the more it looks like a disaster. Just look at Kansas attendance. The Aer-Lingus series is paid for by Aer-Lingus because they are launching new airline markets. These are note the same.

The Aer-Lingus games in Dublin are designed to popularize new Aer-Lingus non-stop routes to Dublin. That's it. That's the entire plan. The Big-XII doesn't have a role. This year was for MCI-DUB. Next year is for DFW-DUB. Last year was for ATL-DUB.

Like AM radio and newspapers, it's fascinating to watch the death rattle of broadcast net affiliates. Down 66% since the pre-pandemic high, and basically at its 1994 IPO price. Half of their shrinking revenue is from recarriage rights - ie checks in the mail from cable comps because of a 1992 law.

If you invested $1 in Sinclair in 1995, you would have $1.08 today. Share price is down 66% since the pandemic.

Specifically, they're pulling from this chart that says that the average pet produces 660 lb of carbon a year, but the biggest pets (ie dogs) produce 2 tons of carbon a year.
