Opinion | The state of Louisiana owes $172 million to three men who coached or will coach the LSU football team. Here's my scolding op-ed about a blue state's investment in a middle school math tutoring program.

The creator of the Franklin the Turtle children's books is Canadian author (and Carleton University Journalism graduate) Paulette Bourgeois. She may wish to rev up her copyright infringement lawyers just for starters.

The thing about the Oklahoma University student's shitty paper that I keep thinking about is how much it reminds me of when Bari Weiss's sister got national media attention for writing an open letter to all the schools she didn't get into.

Oklahoma University has placed a grad student instructor on admin leave for failing a psychology paper on gender for citing *the Bible* as a source of empirical evidence.
In response, OU has placed on instructor on admin leave citing, get this, the FIRST AMENDMENT.
Universities are cooked.

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

Condolences to the students at OU who *were* working hard, doing the course work and earning good grades long before the administration there decreed that you only need to say "as the Bible teaches" and be done with it.
I'm sorry your university hates you and hope you can transfer somewhere good.

Talentless frauds close to the White House are making billions by crashing the American economy and selling out America’s allies. Here’s why democratic socialism is unthinkable.

Dear @yahoosports.bsky.social
I am once again seeing wrestling news in my sports feed.
Since you won’t stop inserting results from a choreographed drama into my sports feed, I was wondering if you could start including game results from Ted Lasso?
Please and thank you.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

The UCP last night passed a motion to defund 3rd trimester abortions. Ones after 20 wk are cause medically necessary. So if passed into law in Alberta, if a woman’s life is endangered by a 3rd trimester pregnancy, & she can’t afford what they charge, she’d have to travel to another province or die.

The 38th parallel in Korea was also originally intended to be temporary.
The Israeli military is digging in along the yellow line that now divides the Gaza Strip between eastern and western sectors—one controlled by Israel, the other by Hamas.
The Yellow Line in Gaza Is Supposed to Be Temporary. Israel Is Digging in.
Unless Hamas disarms, Israeli troops are unlikely to withdraw further.

This gets at the fundamentally flawed approach of the federal government: they are trying to find a policy solution to an identity problem.
It is part of the polarized, populist identity to be opposed to an Ottawa and Liberal Canada are not them. No policy will change that, as TMX revealed.
