I’will never get tired of reminding you that if men were the ones with a uterus, pads and tampons would be free. If men could get pregnant, you’d be able to get the abortion pill OTC, and there would be zero abortion restrictions.

This man made over $10 million a year at Bama in 2022 and 2023. His total earnings as the Bama head coach exceeded $120 million. Most of that was under a system where Saban's players got none of the pie. And the school is currently paying him $500K a year to be an "advisor."

LSU is on track to spend nearly $100 million on coach and AD buyouts over 10 years.

Meanwhile, revenue sharing for Bama and LSU football comes out to roughly $120K a player, in programs that generate over $100 million a year in revenue.

Let's stop blaming athletes for their schools' financial mismanagement.

@ThomasDekeyser Probably because they had AI source their citations.

As the academic whose book is cited multiple times in this article, I want to make it clear: the data center revolt is great and we need more of it. (Getting a little sick of journalists purposefully misreading my arguments)

@wthomassports Why do we need to worry about sustainability?

[Kate Johnson @CauseofKate]

@fritzed_you Why do the consistently confuse land with people? How is this an issue?

@JaredStillman @ryhaw12 @KrusaderSpennyT They don’t want to be the ones being exploited. That is what capitalism allows. Student athletes were exploited up until NIL and now that the tables have turned they don’t like it. Womp womp.

@reidiculouz I don’t even have the words…🤦‍♀️

@_Zeets Right? I feel like my brain is rotting trying to find the logic in this response.

BBC PAID A WOMAN HALF A MAN SALARY FOR THE SAME JOB AND THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD NOTICE

Carrie Gracie spoke fluent Mandarin. Ran the @BBC Beijing bureau. Thirty years of service. One of four international editors at Britain's most prestigious broadcaster.

Then the BBC was legally forced to publish salary data in 2017. Gracie looked at the list. Her male counterpart covering North America was on up to £249,000. She was below £150,000. Not even on the published list. Neither was Europe editor Katya Adler. The two women. Funny that.

She had explicitly made equal pay a condition of taking the China role. The BBC said yes. Then paid her nearly half anyway and apparently hoped she'd never check.

She checked.

She asked for equal pay. The BBC, with the confidence of an institution that had been getting away with this for decades, offered her a raise that still left her short.

She turned it down. Resigned from the post. Published an open letter to the licence fee payers explaining exactly what their public broadcaster was doing with their money.

The BBC's response was to put her through nearly a year of their own internal grievance process. Run by the same institution she was complaining about. Investigating itself. Shockingly, it went nowhere.

It took three separate meetings with the Director-General and the concrete threat of an employment tribunal before the BBC caved, issued a public apology, and paid her £361,000 in backdated wages.

She gave every single penny to the Fawcett Society (@fawcettsociety).

A publicly funded broadcaster. Breaking equality law. Caught red-handed. Dragging a 30-year employee through a year of institutional theatre. Paying up only when a judge became a realistic possibility.

We did it!!!

Thank you IOWA!

IOWA FIRST!

@chloepeterson67 Wasn’t this the exact story we had with DB?

[Andy Kim @AndyKimNJ]

Because of your voice on Delaney Hall, the Trump admin just released 18 yr old high school senior whose story I told. They released the pregnant women held inside. These releases show ICE isn’t targeting the violent criminals. ICE is feeling the pressure. Keep raising your voice.
