    Paramount said the $16 million sum “includes plaintiffs’ fees and costs,” and will not be paid to Trump directly, but instead will be allocated to Trump’s future presidential library — mirroring a settlement agreement that Disney’s ABC struck with Trump last December.

    We’re one step closer to Running Man.

    Yup. From Paramount, in November.

    It is my vibe that the higher ed management pipeline is as dog shit and reliant on consulting as every other management pipeline that I've come across. Just there to make a splash and leave before everyone gets wet kind of thing.

    Am I off base? I feel like everything is boiling down to profit and loss, even education and civic services

    This is true from my experience... Especially when universities want to save money by cutting staff and reducing headcount and then bringing in consultants as defensible one time expenditures.

    My uni has lost 35% of personnel in some areas but has hired (by my count) 12 different consultants or outside firms to sell us their bullshit ideas and leave with us not having any folks to do the regular work let alone any new initiative or manage the transition to a new paradigm.

  4. Not a political cartoon, per se, but satire worth posting:

    WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a move that he called “long overdue,” on Tuesday Donald J. Trump signed an executive order changing the meaning of the word “obliterate.”

    According to the order, the word, which formerly meant “destroy utterly” or “wipe out,” will now mean “delay for a few months.”

    Trump used the signing ceremony to announce a plan to remove from the English language thousands of what he called “Obama-era long words.”

    Headed for the chopping block are such polysyllabic words as “jurisprudence,” “constitutional,” and “polysyllabic.”

  5. I wonder how the 'far right' MAGA folks (the ones who are 'really into WW2 history' and such) are dealing with the potential that their young people may be sent to battle on behalf of Israel? 

    I guess it'd balance out between the anti-semetic faction and the Biblical End Times Prophecy Zionist element, though...

    Seriously... Strauss at tOSU, Nassar at Michigan State, Sandusky at Penn State, and Robert Anderson at Michigan (with Matt Weiss' situation a recent addition to the Hall of Shame). All covered up or ignored by their athletic departments. Just the absolute worst leadership imaginable... disgusting.

    the us 3rd regiment is the oldest in the army

    they protect the unknown soldier at arlington and are the color guard for the fallen when they arrive at andrews

    and they literally are chartered with OFFICIAL cosplay - not aggy cosplay - yesterday was not a one-time thing - they've been doing this forever

    Are they the ones who liberated the airports at Lexington and Concord?
