Cooley gives the best explanation of the “flow state” I’ve ever seen. Brilliant.
No exaggeration, this guy might be the best interview in pro sports right now

The discourse on the Eagles’ handling of Jalen Hurt’s health ignores the real problem: that the NFL is nothing more than a bunch of old white men offering young Black men the promise of generational wealth by paying money to watch them destroy their bodies for our entertainment.
So Jalen Hurts learned about the blood clot before the Eagles game in London. Doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so Hurts started an NFL game after being awake for 36 hours, including an international flight. Now imaging has shown additional blood clots in his lungs. He's going on blood thinners and will be out for the rest of the year. What are we doing here? That's the most horrific player safety plan I have ever seen.

the Duke football situation is very telling about who has been and contributed on a football sideline and who hasn’t. Sports Medicine professionals, former coaching staff, and former legit players all know the player was out of line

Imagine how this guy treats women when there aren’t tens of thousands of eyes on him. THAT needs to be the story here.
We're not talking enough about THIS moment from the #Duke football game immediately after he struck her She is AFRAID of him after the first hit and is now watching his face and keeping her arm up to attempt to protect herself from another blow from Kimari Robinson

The problem isn't that humanities degrees don't lead to jobs. It's that we've built a world with no room for literature, art, or philosophy, anything that expresses the human soul.

When we got suspended from Cornell for our peaceful, anti-genocide encampment, Cornell admin threatened to attach a permanent notice to our transcripts about the suspensions. Cornell chose to protect this rapist, and chose not to notify or warn NSU about him.
New: One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape transferred to a Florida university. The university says it was unaware of the allegations when it admitted him, raising questions about what disciplinary info follows students between colleges. shorturl.at/pTyCC

Women aren’t overreacting to the Shane Gillis joke or Cornell case. We’ve been under reacting for the comfort of others for far too long, and I think we’re done..

Men seem more concerned about women wearing shorts in gyms rather than men in frat houses raping women.

‘I’m Personally Sorry’: Cornell’s President Acknowledges Missteps nytimes.com/2026/10/13/nyreg… via @NYTimes Hear me now, gentle Sir. This is not survivable. Get out cleanly and as quickly as possible. Get a great lawyer to do the package. Go to a resort, get umbrella drinks

This is an AWFUL interview with @Cornell president Michael Kotlikoff by the NYT. He must RESIGN! Some lowlights: * “he learned that a student had reported being gang-raped at a fraternity party on campus shortly after she first came forward in November 2024. But in the months afterward, he said, he did not follow up with her or seek to learn whether any of the accused men had been punished.” * he also did not know Jane Doe had dropped out. * he was not informed when the Tompkins County district attorney declined to bring charges in the case, and blamed staff for no alerting him, rather than his disinterest. * NYT: “Even as he acknowledged anger over his handling of the rape allegation, Dr. Kotlikoff, 75, at other times spoke with an almost clinical detachment about the alleged assault and the school’s response.” * Cornell has had to assure parents and guidance counselors ahead of admissions deadlines about student safety. * he seemed to blame society rather than accept any blame, saying of incoming students, “And of course they’ve been exposed to social media, pornography, misogyny.” * NYT also said he could have had access to what happened with Title IX hearings, but never expressed interest in any way. This is just awful. He is unfit to be leading our university, and he has to go!

Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City and the leader of the City Council have agreed on legislation that would end the use of horse-drawn carriages in Central Park. The legislation, which would ban them by June 2028, will be voted on by the Council next week. nyti.ms/4jle86o

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Accountability will never happen if no one loses their job.
Thousands of Cornell students have marched, rallied and organized sit-ins in recent weeks, demanding changes to how the university handles sexual assault cases after a lawsuit alleging a 2024 gang rape at a fraternity house sparked national attention. The protests have grown into a broader movement, drawing support from advocates and students at campuses across the country. Organizers say the goal is not only accountability at Cornell, but lasting reforms in how colleges respond to sexual violence. As demonstrations continue, students and faculty are grappling with a larger question: Will this become a lasting movement for change, or a moment of outrage that fades with time? 📸: Seth Harrison/The Journal News via USA TODAY Network Read more: bit.ly/4hIwDPu

REMEMBER THIS: The public execution is not about punishing the man. It's' about training the crowd.
