A year ago, Ohio State exchanged its high-powered passing attack for a weak running game against Michigan. Has OSU coach Ryan Day learned his lesson?

"... and words having meanings."
As Matthew Sitman points out — like @zohrankmamdani (and MLK, etc) ‘1984’ author George Orwell was a Democratic Socialist who fought for workers.
He also opposed communism because the two are not the same things and words have meanings.

Wednesday’s session was a manufactured lame duck as House Republicans tried to push through as many bad bills as possible in the middle of the night. There’s still time for us to fight back! Call your Senators and Gov. DeWine and let them know that this bills will hurt Ohioans.

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
The policy similarly downgrades the classification of nooses and the Confederate flag, though display of the latter remains banned.

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
![Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less."
She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards.
They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it.
This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil.
The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option.
"We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents.
"We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreiber7g4o5pujmzmjjzsp5dkz7blfexburuwjispfpv6dki7akjb7a@jpeg)

Columbus interstate shuts down for hours after cow on the loose
If you happened to experience traffic that just wouldn’t moooove on I-270 South last evening, it wasn’t because of the usual car accident. A cow was loose on the freeway last evening (Monday)…
