At any given point in time, there are about 3 million people playing the video game Fortnite on Xbox, Playstation, or PC, making it the most played game in the world. In Fortnite Battle Royale, 100 players are dropped onto an island littered with guns with nothing but a pickaxe and the ability to build forts out of harvested materials—the last player left alive is the winner. The game has become massively popular on Snapchat and Twitter, but that popularity has just found a new avenue: American collegiate institutions.

Ohio's Ashland University will now offer a Fortnite based scholarship through their e-sports team (which plays Overwatch, Rocket League, and Fortnite).

The Ashland e-sports team is truly honored to be what will surely be the first of MANY colleges offering Fortnite scholarships.

Young twitter users were, needless to say, pretty interested in enrolling at Ashland.

It looks like Ashland is taking the whole e-sports wave very seriously.

And, among gamers at least, it's one of the classiest things Ashland can do.

But the real question we all should be asking?

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
