just now (366+ words) The task force's final of four reports details Columbia faculty's role in driving a culture of anti-Israel activism. A new report from Columbia University's antisemitism task force pinpoints a root cause of the Ivy League institution's hostility toward Israel: its faculty. Columbia, the report states, "lacks full-time tenure line faculty expertise in Middle East history, politics, political economy and policy that is not explicitly anti-Zionist." It notes that many students struggle to find among Columbia's course offerings an "academic perspective" that "treats Zionism as legitimate" rather than "a perspective that treats it as illegitimate." The task force concludes that the academic resources available for Jewish and Israeli subjects at Columbia are "insufficient," particularly compared to those available for "other parts of the Middle East." In a rare case when a visiting professor without an explicitly anti-Zionist perspective came to teach…...

just now (426+ words) Three-time Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro has revealed some of his favorite video games, including BioShock, Death Stranding, Red Dead Redemption, and God of War, among others. Appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, del Toro said Sony's God of War series had some of the "best cinematic experiences" he's ever witnessed. "When [Kratos] fights Odin [in God of War Ragnarok] and Odin keeps coming back and he looks like a Peaky Blinders brawler. He beats the crap out of Kratos. What a great video game. And the way they use the budget of data on the console to create atmospheric dispersion and light. That is lit like a film," he said. The filmmaker went on to say BioShock is the "most immersive" game he's played, while he singled out Death Stranding (a game he is featured in) as another…...

Lauren Boebert (R-Colo) is now in hot water after her latest campaign finance filings show questionable expenditures that are believed to be unrelated to official campaign business. If Boebert did spend campaign money at Kid Rock's event, that would be illegal under federal campaign finance laws, which prohibit the use of donor funds for personal use. Trisha Calvarese, a Democrat running against Boebert in 2026, told the Daily Mail that the expenditures are "even more proof she needs a new job." "Americans are tired of the circus they're seeing from Washington, with politicians spending more time focusing on flying around going to concerts than passing solutions to lower…...

REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes BRUSSELS, Dec 10 (Reuters) - French media conglomerate Vivendi made a last-ditch effort on Wednesday to stave off a potential EU antitrust fine, following charges it closed its acquisition of publisher Lagardere before receiving regulatory approval. Vivendi, represented by more than a dozen lawyers, made its case to senior competition officials and lawyers at the European Commission as well as French antitrust officials at a day-long closed hearing. Lagardere's lawyers were also present. All the participants declined to comment. The Commission, which acts as the EU competition watchdog, in its July charge sheet said Vivendi breached the standstill obligation set out in the bloc's merger rules. The company, which has rejected the charges, risks a fine of as much as 10% of its global annual revenue if…...
