We made the original cut of "I Care More" back in 2013, but now we have an all original cut with the help of my friend and musician Casey Hjelmberg. There are some disturbing images so VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. It was pretty much a 48 hour project. We had some spare gear, and a couple of my pals were free, so I wrote something really quickly one evening, filmed the next day, and then edited it.

John Oliver On The NCAA
Fantastic segment by John Oliver.
I remember during my last few years at the University of Minnesota is when TCF Bank Stadium was agreed upon. I don't follow college sports, but I had no issue with the construction of a new stadium as long it was responsibly financed and constructed and extensively looked over. Then I remember getting the bill for my tuition and seeing that the students of the University of Minnesota would also contribute to the funding of the stadium. Even then, it didn't make sense nor did it feel right that students would see an additional expense tacked on to their already bloated tuition. I still at times curse TCF Bank Stadium as I walk by it. Not because some of my money went into building the stadium, but because people felt it was acceptable to force students to help pay for it.
So to see that "student-athletes" are also taken advantage of is no surprise to me. Is there anyone and anything the long reaching hand of the profit motive cannot corrupt?

Disgusting New Animal Cruelty Video
I don't really got bothered by extreme video content, but I can never make it through an animal cruelty video. I have seen some pretty bizarre things without flinching, but animal cruelty videos send the worst emotions shooting through me.

Students Ask Obama About Education In America
I've had some amazing teachers in my life, and I've even tried teaching for a bit. It's an insane job, but incredibly rewarding and you feel good because you feel like you are making in impact on society and lives. I have no doubt that education is the great equalizer.
"Society has just gotta make an investment." He's right, but I'm afraid it won't. So, is this something we drag people along with, knowing it's the right path? Or, do we turn away from education because society isn't ready to prioritize it correctly?
