I’ve been saying this about their methods for years. *while 100% acknowledging HU has plenty of problems relating across difference…

I’d like to nominate any middle school Model UN team to tap in now.

One does feel a bit ambivalent about all the full-throated celebrating, given the many preliminary capitulations… it’s not been a wholly heroic performance.

Thanks for the reminder. Just wrote Warren and Markey and said I’m done with them unless they disavow their votes. I’ve never contacted either of them before except to donate.

Hey, I’m not rural myself, but I totally agree. The work you’re doing is HARD - much harder than doing it in blue cities or purple suburbs and I really appreciate your commitment to it!

Ok, I agree, but so have 500 other bonehead moves over the past three month. Can we please stipulate permanently that WE ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ADMINISTRATION.

Not even a pretense of an ideological purpose or principle. Just terrorizing vulnerable people and bragging about it.

Waiting for this boom to lower at my institution. Grants getting cancelled left and right. Zero proactive support from leadership. Soul crushing doublespeak and platitudes instead.

Crooks, scammers, grifters, scofflaws, tax cheats, misers, greedy capitalists run amok.

5 cases out of 300,000 visa holders? Trying to kill a mosquito with a bazooka gun. You destroy everything but the mosquito. Also, doesn’t NSPM-33 already after this?

Agree with the sentiment here, but this NYT photo is cartoonish. What is it trying to evoke?

He sneer/snorted and said “who told you you’re supposed to do all the reading?! The trick is choosing wisely and going all in.” Changed everything for me - as a small town first gen at a “fancy” university. Before long I understood everyone was equally filled with self doubt.

Towards the end of my first year, I confessed to my advisor that I just didn’t understand how people kept up with so much reading. I was surely not meant to be a PhD student.

Recently I heard a story on Whole Foods order fulfillment/delivery workers, who are ON A TIMER for Pete's sake. I'm an overtipper as a rule, but after hearing about the Amazonification of WF, I'm not sure I'll order groceries again.

Agreed! Though I also have a special love for the cheesier Albert Finney & Alec Guinness (musical) version as well, since it was my introduction to the story and has a number of irresistible ear worms, such as: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkq7...

Ezra Klein is not always going to tell you what you want to hear, but he's crazy smart, an independent thinker, does his research, and has fantastic guests.
