The Senate is voting soon on whether to eliminate federal funding for public radio and television.

These cuts could affect KOSU's ability to provide local news and emergency alerts.

Ask your Senators to protect federal funding of public broadcasting.

This week's quiz has no shady edits (unlike a certain royal photo)

What's Kate looking at?

This week, Captain Obvious reigned. She (why did you assume Captain Obvious was a man?) brought us an utterly predictable presidential deathmatch and reminded us to not stare directly at the sun. A prestige film by a prestige director based on a prestige book/life swept the Oscars.

Then TikTok was conditionally banned by an institution whose members' median age is 57.9. (Don't worry, the bill has to go through the Senate and a president.) The House should have gotten into #restocktok before making such a rash decision! If Chinese propaganda is detergent pods thunking into a clear acrylic container, we're all in.

Anyway, good luck this week!
