Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin We continue looking at abortion’s impact on the midterm elections, as well as the latest district attorney who wants a crack at Donald Trump. MacKenzie Scott, Michael Bloomberg Among The Biggest Billionaire Donors To Abortion-Rights Groups “T hough the nation’s wealthiest philanthropists have been giving to reproductive rights groups for decades, the cause constitutes a relatively small portion of overall philanthropic giving,” reports Rachel Sandler: According to the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy, $1.7 billion went to reproductive rights nonprofits from 2015 to 2019. That’s 2.2% of the $76 billion from foundations during that time period. Even less money, $361 million, was earmarked specifically for abortion rights and services, as opposed to other forms of reproductive healthcare. Much of that funding comes from the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, the largest single donor supporting … [Read more...] about Checks & Imbalances: Pro-Choice Billionaires, Abortion-Themed Ads

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin You see them all the time–generational labels assigned to age cohorts suggesting shared beliefs, behaviors and values. They are used in marketing and advertising strategies as well as in articles and research. If they are so prominent, then why are they a problem? Because the assigned characteristics are trivial, misleading and often lead to bigotry. Age-bashing and generational finger-pointing negatively influence societal attitudes from healthcare to employment. And it goes both ways. It’s ugly, to be sure. But it’s also driven, in part, by the fact that current culture has been duped into thinking these labels have any real meaning. They don’t. This irrelevance is why Dr. Philip N. Cohen, Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park, is keen on eradicating them. Last year, Dr. Cohen sent an open letter to Pew Research Center, imploring them to refrain from using generational labels that do … [Read more...] about Generational Labels: Why It’s Time To Put Them To Rest

In my line of business, which involves the sale of drug testing kits, I run into many a sad story about how addiction has ruined lives and caused an immense amount of grief among people who get hooked on any number of substances, especially opioids . And while you may think I am talking about people who were born into poverty and were down on their luck and looking for an escape (and I've heard those stories, too), I'm not. I'm talking about people who have lived privileged lives, earned college degrees, started successful practices and followed their entrepreneurial dream. David J. Linden, professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says there is some evidence that the traits that make a good entrepreneur also make one susceptible to addiction. It can also be a rather lonely road entrepreneurs walk as they get their businesses off the ground and that, coupled with a constant fear of failure hanging over their heads, may also lead to … [Read more...] about Some Traits That Make You a Good Entrepreneur Also Make You Susceptible to Addiction.

Tom Brady will get at least $50 million over the next two seasons to play quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The six-time Super Bowl officially signed with the Bucs on Friday, and we now have his contract details. According to Adam Schefter, he’ll get $50 million fully guaranteed, up to another $9 million in incentives, can’t be traded and can’t be tagged.

He’ll be 43 when this season rolls around, and he hasn’t really shown any signs of slowing down.

ESPN dropped its updated “way-too-early” top 25 for college football, and the Clemson Tigers are sitting on the top of the mountain. The top five in order are Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia and Penn State. That means every team in the top five outside of Dabo Swinney’s squad is from the SEC or Big 10.

The Wisconsin Badgers secured a double-bye in the Big 10 tournament after a 63-48 Wednesday night win over Northwestern. While I don’t think anybody ever doubted who would win the game Wednesday night, college basketball has been off the rails this season. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football) Despite a pretty pedestrian performance across the board for the Badgers , Northwestern was absolutely no match on any front as we cruised to a win. Now, we’re tied for first place in the Big 10, and we won’t have to play in the conference tournament until Friday after getting a double-bye. To say things turned around since a couple months ago would be the understatement of the year in college basketball.
