Billionaires are always inserting themselves into situations when it is unneeded or unwanted but when their influence could be useful, they aren’t around. Anyway. Mark Cuban is an IU alum. He could fund that student newspaper in perpetuity with pocket change. Or withhold institutional donations.

You know it’s a problem when you’ve needed to search for the image of Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho wielding an automatic weapon on the floor of Congress so many times that you just keep it in its own folder now like your headshots and wedding photos.

Movie still from Idiocracy. A Black man with long hair wearing American flag colored clothes and yelling wields an automatic weapon shooting fire.

Me, a pedant at the end of the world as we know it:

Screenshot of a new post that says in the post that cuts to a family planning initiative will effective end it. Below is the link with the headline saying “Trump Administration Decimates Birth Control Office in Layoffs.” The word “decimates” is circled in red, because the person posting this knows that decimates means to reduce by 1/10th. And clearly, based on context, this article means annihilate.

Cooking show finalists need the dish to be crispy. Yet they also let it sit under a cloche. So….

New research finds that industrial facilities owned by more profitable companies release higher proportions of toxic waste into the air, water and soil than less profitable ones, even within the same industries.
