We should start tallying Bobby's body count now. It's going to be big.

I was a USAID contractor in 1994-95, just after college graduation. The work we did supporting land use and housing programs in transitioning countries in Eastern Europe was impactful and important, the people doing the work were dedicated experts. This will break my heart and people's lives.

I spent an hour last night with my brilliant colleague and friend, @profsunitasah.bsky.social Sunita Sah, discussing her new book, Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands Yes. Ok, it wasn't in person, it was on an episode of my favorite interview hour, KQED's Forum. Listen and order her book!

I'm excited to see a paper I'm so proud of getting some attention. Interested in what married couples and craft chocolate have in common? Look no further! eiexchange.com/content/craf...

A study of chocolate makers shows that shared values, commitment, and a long-term outlook are good for both relationships and business.

Please remember that President Carter appointed more minorities and women to the bench than all previous presidents combined. He was the first President to embrace the concept of bringing racial diversity to the federal bench. A key aspect of his legacy. www.washingtonpost.com/archive/poli...

I am excited to share this piece on lay leadership, out in Sources, the Hartman Institute journal. (The whole issue is terrific - check it out!) Working on this with my friend, Joshua Ladon, under the guidance of the incisive and insightful Claire Sufrin, was a highlight of my fall term.

Shocked & not surprised that people celebrate the murder of a health insurance CEO and bemoan that health insurance is in business to make money. How many of prefer universal healthcare? Or support Trump's DOGE plans because, you know, government should be run like a business!

While I join the world in celebrating the end of the Assad regime, I am very nervous that Syria's new leadership may not be interested in personal freedom. Might this be a case of out of the frying pan, into the fire? I would love to hear others' thoughts, especially those with specific expertise!

Do we think this is because Harvard educates its students better than other universities, name recognition, or alumni network? Or does Harvard admit more people who are well-positioned to become elite due to increased risk tolerance (i.e., family wealth and connections)?

I can’t figure out if they are intentionally destroying higher ed, the opportunities it brings to their base, and the innovation it creates, or if they really don’t understand how devastating this will be for the next three generations of Americans and American business.

I'm curious to see how higher ed leaders respond to these proposals. Eliminating Pell Grants and NIH funding would hit university budgets on multiple fronts

The handwringing and reporting on Hunter Biden's pardon are infuriating. Yes, he changed his mind. No, this is nothing approaching corruption. Many presidents have pardoned friends and family, including Trump, and Hunter is an explicit Trump target. Why must Biden be held to a higher moral standard?

I have heard this story on the Moth broadcast many times, and I love it more each time. Worth a listen when you need a pick-me-up. A little kindness goes a long way. Sometimes longer than you would ever know.

I mean, this is not rocket science. Stopping the international drugs and arms trade only requires the US to stop producing so many weapons. This is a problem the US quite literally created.

Just a quick reminder that you don't need to be smart to get rich, and that being rich doesn't make you smart. Exhibit 1.

Man, I'm glad I took all of those stats classes in grad school, . How would I have determined that I needed 4.5x batches of pie crust and worked out the recipes otherwise? #BakingIsScience #ThanksgivingPrep #Piemageddon2024

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.

Post by John Nichols:

Harris is now winning a higher percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016 or 2020.

Trump 2016: 46.1%

Trump 2020: 46.8%

Harris 2024: 48.4%

Trump didn’t win a “landslide” in 2024. In fact, his victory margin is one of the smallest in US history.

What standing could X possibly have in this case? Seems like Elon is trying to make himself the modern-day Haman (of Book of Esther fame). Sadly, it didn’t turn out well for the original Haman . . .

I'm not sure why, but being here is making me inordinately happy. I was never a terrific poster on that other platform but the idea of it became so upsetting . . . and this one feels like clear, fresh air. Happy to be here with you, my friends!
