This story is in one sense hilarious, yet horrifying at the same time. Three highly credentialed academics named Helen Pluckrose, James A. Lindsay, and Peter Boghossian set out to write absurd papers focused in areas like gender studies, women's studies, and the like.

If you want proof that Elizabeth Warren is planning to run for president in 2020, look no further than her actions. She has been busy for months with tons of progressive busy work which is likely to go nowhere, but that's not the point. She'll likely use it to distinguish herself from the other 30 people vying for the Democratic nomination.

ESPN has been struggling recently, and one of the problems it is facing is its political partisanship.  ESPN's president, Jimmy Pitaro, has been at the helm of ESPN for five months, and one of his goals is to refocus ESPN on *gasp* sports.  To that end, outspoken leftist Jemele Hill has been bought out of her contract. Hill, you may recall, was quietly moved off of Sports Center for tweeting that President Trump is a "white supremacist."
