Runner’s World asked Zohran Mamdani some questions about his experience running the NYC Marathon. Was not expecting him to say he ripped a cigarette mid-race.

The U paid a marketing firm $15M for a new slogan. The internet has thoughts. startribune.com/university-o…

The U of M is spending $15M on rebranding. Its new slogan has people perplexed.

“Leave a Future” is the University of Minnesota’s first new tagline in 20 years. People aren’t quite sure what it means, or what to think of it.
