NFL draft trade deals are complex, fast-paced and rely on a clear understanding between the teams involved. Researchers say this is where blockchain smart contracts could be useful.

NIL deals have changed college sports -- and the lives of college athletes. But all that money has big tax implications, for both athletes and donors. This overview is pretty interesting -- I learned a lot.

Hey reporters -- anyone interested in a study that raises serious concerns about organizations that claim to provide residential opioid substance use services? (Turns out most of them aren't licensed to do so?) Hit me up, happy to share paper, etc.

When people say Trump is a liar, that's not a moral judgment. It's a verifiable fact. A recent speech by Trump included 162(!) misstatements, exaggerations and outright lies in 64 minutes. That's more than two lies per minute.

It’s also a song about being willing to fight to hold the country together, yes?.
Ppl seem to think this song is notable b/c it’s about abolition. I think that should be the least polarizing part of the song in 2024, but yes naive of me to assume Twitter would read it that way. Folks the point is it’s from the last time we split in half & fought each other.
