It's fascinating to watch the #highered community absolutely fumble messaging on the Compact 2.0. We helped draft it. No, we didn't. It's vastly better than Compact 1.0. Institutions should do it. No, they shouldn't. I swear, we're a week away from "Compact 2.0? Don't know her."

I’ll argue that anyone who supported Kavanaugh does not support abortion rights but instead manipulates the electorate to believe she supports abortion rights while acting in contravention over and over again while hoping no one notices.

In 2023 while in NOLA, a Lyft Driver and I had a conversation about leaving home. It led to him telling me about his terminal diagnosis. “An editor told me once that if you want to understand a war, interview the grave diggers. I’d add that if you want to understand a city, interview the drivers.”

Really we all should root for a Knicks-Sixers playoff series every year because it’s one of the few matchups where the teams commute back and forth via chartered Amtrak trains instead of chartered flights. Tons of C02 emissions saved (Sixers boarding train pics from 2024)
