Young men don’t open bank accounts. They are too expensive. They download coin base or Robinhood app but cannot buy crypto (see: no bank accounts). They go to bit coin ATM and purchase bit coin with cash at 25% markup. They transfer to Robin, exchange for USD, lose all on options. Thanks Gensler

God, that was hard to bear. Students told a physics town hall that grad schools have rescinded admission. NSF proposals are censored for words like “bias,” even when the meaning is technical. Physics curricula are being banned by school districts for encouraging girls. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

Surely Zeldin means they will accomplish this goal by implementing aggressive efficiency standards, making it easier to expand renewables cost effectively, and ensuring development costs aren’t passed onto consumers 👍

That this is how Columbia admin is reacting instead of fighting when a member of their community is being used as a national litmus test for civil rights erosion by the people who are also cutting their funding—how could any serious scholar or student or parent trust your institution ever again?
