West Virginia simply does not have the secondary to compete this season. There’s no other way to say it. As bad as WVU’s defense has been in the past, it’s never been like this. The Mountaineers can’t defend even the simplest of downfield passes this season. Penn State and Albany ...
As we’ve previously written, the women’s suffrage movement did not begin at the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848. More importantly, Seneca Falls influenced an entire new generation with its “Declaration of Sentiments,” proclaiming all men and women were created equal, that representation in the government that ruled them was essential and that women should have the right to vote. Unified American voices calling for equality of all persons have deep roots in American history, following the Quaker beliefs in equality of all persons, regardless of gender, race, social status or ...
People of a certain age will recall a time when after an election the losing side would usually accept the results and initially give support to a new president during what was then called the “honeymoon” stage. Richard Nixon conceded to John Kennedy in 1960, although he believed the election was “stolen” by Kennedy operatives in Cook County, Illinois. Al Gore conceded to George W. Bush in the razor-close 2000 election. Hillary Clinton conceded in 2016, despite strong evidence of election interference by Russia, while Donald Trump is still in denial that he lost 2020 by more ...
Amid the hype surrounding Apple’s new deal with OpenAI, one issue has been largely papered over: The AI company’s foundational models are, and have always been, built atop the theft of creative professionals’ work.The arrangement with Apple isn’t the only news from OpenAI.

I’ve discovered that cats, extrusions of our human souls, have much to teach us about how to use email to our advantage.I send lots of emails. Too many emails. I also respond instantly when other people send an email to me. And truth be told, I go on and on, interminably, in my emails.While you might assume this superior level of responsiveness is a good thing — as it implies a loyalty to friends and family and a professional business attitude — in reality, the impact of being a responsive fool turns out to be perversely negative. In personal and work settings, an overly friendly ...
Thursday’s debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be novel for many reasons. It will be the first debate between a current and a former U.S. president. It will be the first featuring a convicted felon. It will be the first conducted before either major party has formally picked a nominee. But perhaps most importantly, it harks to an earlier time in presidential campaign politics when debates were neither typical nor expected, and when they occurred, they did so to serve specific needs of the candidates, rather than as a form of public service.We’ve come to expect ...
