Key Highlights
- Kim Kardashian advocates for prison reform as the American government spams out cartoonish memes promoting mass deportation and detention.
- Dave Chappelle – flaws aside – is more trusted to interpret the news than CBS’s Tony Dokoupil.
- The selection committee behind college football’s playoff somehow put together a compelling tournament without inciting the usual torrent of backlash, and the team raising the trophy at the end could well wind up being Indiana.
- And, no, that’s not a typo. In case it’s unclear, Indiana is basketball country – the birthplace of Larry Bird, the home of the NBA’s Pacers, the inspiration behind Gene Hackman’s Hoosiers.
- Tier-one campus research, Bobby Knight’s tempestuous hardwood reign, and Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban are Indiana University’s claims to fame; football rarely, if ever, entered the chat.
