“Karen” also has a popular meaning as a slang term for white women who carry out micro-aggressions against people of color due to their position of privilege.

The comedian, 61, announced that she was diagnosed with the disease back in August 2021, before revealing in November that she was cancer-free. And with the treatment altering her voice to a higher pitch than usual, Griffin is now worried that what she was told would be a temporary issue may now be permanent.

Griffin, who faced backlash after posing with the severed head of an effigy of Trump in 2017, has been a frequent critic of the one-term former president over the years. However, Griffin now says that she sees the rise in popularity of Rogan—who, as Spotify’s top podcaster, has been accused of spreading misinformation on his show—as more cause for concern than Trump’s army of supporters. Speaking with New York contributing editor Kara Swisher on her podcast Pivot, Griffin shared her thoughts on Rogan in the midst of criticizing billionaire Elon Musk....

“Kansas appealed the NCAA staff decision of a two-season withholding to the Division I Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee, which determined additional relief was appropriate,” the NCAA said in a statement released via Twitter. The NCAA originally ruled in February that De Sousa would have to sit out the rest of the 2018-19 season and all of the 2018-19 season “because his guardian received payment from a university booster and agent and agreed to receive additional funds from the same person” (via the Kansas City Star)....
