Real estate listings that advertise how really easy it is to get away from the home you're buying to other places set off warning bells for me

Someone compiled all of the Calvin and Hobbes strips about Calvin’s polls of his Dad, which is proof that good people do exist on the internet imgur.com/a/poll-resul...

Another one. When Sweet Briar announced it was closing in 2015, it was a shock to me that some place with such a rich academic history could close its doors. Now such occurances are commonplace. We lose a lot when these places close. Especially ones with such a unique approach.

In light of the election results there, I give you some of the sights of Budapest, Hungary from 2023. Beautiful place. Hopeful

I could have written this a decade ago. The writing was on the wall then. Demographic cliff, large withdrawals from endowments, low enrollments. The educational experience at these places is exceptional. A lot will be lost if all we're left with is big box universities. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Interesting observation from Alex Cora pre-game: The dugout is much quieter during games because of ABS. The players and coaches don't chirp the umpire like they used to.

The new thing in real estate home purchasing is apparently personal notes to sellers expressing love for the home and the neighborhood.

Like a lot of readers of "The Lord of the Rings," I always chalked up Balin's expedition to Moria as a doomed failure. Ruined mines, swarming with orcs, a Balrog lurking below — of course they all died. But a close re-read with the podcast "Exploring the Lord of the Rings" has complicated things!

Excited to share that Cindy Kam’s and my article is published online! We examine item refusal pre- and post-Dobbs and find a significant increase in women’s refusal to disclose their pregnancy status after the decision, with concerning implications for research, policy, and women’s health.

I'm not sure I agree with everything here, but this struck a chord: "We ought to ask ourselves if this is the game we actually want to be playing."

Lots of people are suddenly convinced that Claude is going to fundamentally disrupt academic work, but I will believe that when Claude can spend four months going back and forth with the business department about whether expenses from a conference were properly labelled in Concur.
