Proud to be a hoosier today.

I will need the flashy thingy from Men in Black to recover from this administration.

If you can say “Harvard study finds” then you need to say “Harvard faculty got dating advice from Epstein” - hey I don’t make the rules.

I hope the new Governor of Virginia removes these trustees but also uses the majority wins in the legislature to stop political appointments of univ trustees altogether.

I stopped paying attention to Niall Ferguson a long time ago but the evolution of his twitter timeline is too funny to ignore.

The way things are going, will the USD retain its exorbitant privilege? Autocracy does not breed investor confidence. Shrinking the sphere of US influence and the military isn’t going to help. We might be looking at a world of hurt down the road.
