@RyanQualtrics Worst part is that it’s public money for education that is lost forever due to incompetence.

At this rate, college payouts will surpass the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL combined. The NCAA is 100% professional sports now — just without investing in a proper front office 👀

@elonmusk Buying a Tesla has been easy. Getting ANY service from Tesla insurance is horrendous. I once had to wait 2 hours and 18 minutes on hold, only to be disconnected. And no, what I needed to do was not enabled on the app.

Please reply to this post with any difficulties you may have had in trying to buy a Tesla. Our goal is for the purchase and delivery experience to be fast and simple, with accurate answers to your questions. The key test is that you would recommend it to a friend.

@social_brains Hi Matt, you shouldn’t connect with my colleague Emily Levine at the Ed School at Stanford. She has been working on this for a while.

Academics, I need your help in designing a new course (and please retweet so I get more fdbk). Many of our undergraduates seem unable or unwilling to discuss difficult topics. They seem to lack tools for understanding what counts as evidence and how to reason effectively in these real world contexts. It seems like they often mistake their feelings for reasons and evidence or simply don’t want to have to discuss or defend their views at all. As universities, countering this should be one of our primary missions so that we are producing a citizenry unafraid to engage on these topics and also willing to listen to and learn from those they disagree with. While it is often forgotten, this is the actual benefit of diverse perspectives. So I’m considering creating a course that not only teaches these skills but requires students to put them into practice, rather than just to learn them academically. Have any of you created a course like this or do you have a course like this at your university? If so, would you be able to share your syllabus?

@LisaMaccarley @Evan_Low Look up the definition of “genocide”, genius.

We must stand in solidarity with Israel against the attacks from Iran.

If an NHL team were to come to Utah, what should we name it? Fill out this survey and send your ideas: jazz.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_dj…

Let the data sleuths go after these data. Probably much more important than another obscure Gino study. tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

All wars end with negotiation, but it's hard to negotiate when the other side's bargaining position is "you all die and disappear."

Dear presidents of Harvard, MIT and Penn, Antisemitism is antisemitism even when it comes with a better vocabulary.

IT'S TIME FOR ALL OF US TO RAISE OUR VOICES! The School of Social Work at @Colubmia University CANNOT allow a "teach-in" that sees rape as a "counteroffensive" and calls murder and kidnap of children "revolutionary violence"! PLEASE RETWEET THIS WITH YOUR OWN CALL TO @Columbia

A new survey suggests TikTok is a meaningful driver of a surge in antisemitism. #TikToxic Spending at least 30 minutes a day on TikTok increases the chances a respondent holds antisemitic or anti-Israel views by 17% (compared with 6% for Instagram and 2% for X).

One of the biggest and lesser known stories of Nov 29 is that the lands allocated to a Jewish state (two color map) were essentially those the Zionists reclaimed from malaria through land purchase, science and education (blue map). Moreover, the sudden and extremely rapid increase of the Arab population in the 1920’s and 1930’s in this barely populated backwater region (this was the highest population increase rate in the world in 1931/2) was only in part due to immigration spurred by Zionist development of the land. The major share of the massive Arab population increase was thanks to Malaria eradication, which was the work of the Galician born famed microbiologist and ardent Zionist Dr. Israel Kligler (credit to the great historical work of Anton Alexander). With this knowledge it remains even a greater tragedy that the now much more numerous Arabs of the land directed their efforts towards brutally fighting Zionism rather than choosing to live side by side with an emerging Jewish state. In the shadow of the Oct 7 massacre we mark once more the Nov 29 moment when the Jews said yes to the UNGA plan of partition (having prioritized having a state, even if tiny and mostly desert and lands reclaimed from malaria and no Zion and no Judea) and the Arabs said no and proceeded to wage a brutal war to the present day (having prioritized - still - the goal of the Jews not having a state at all and of any size). (Note on map titles: for twenty centuries, before a camoaign of denial was underway, it was well understood that the name “Palestine” merely denoted the geographic region where the Land of Israel was and was therefore deeply associated with Jews and the their continuous connection to the land. Hence the League of Nation in establishing the mandate recognized the “historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine" as the "grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country” and which is why the Palestine Philharmonic Orchestra of Jewish musicians became the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra…)

Nearly 6 weeks later, @hrw admits that a misfired Palestinian rocket - and not Israel - hit a hospital in Gaza on Oct. 17. The false accusation caused riots across the Arab word. This doesn’t nearly make up for the damage done.

Since the NYT version isn’t clear, the reason she is disfigured is that she blew up her car bomb early because she was confronted by an Israeli police officer (Moshe Chen, who was injured in the explosion and still has not fully recovered) before she could reach her target.

Smitten Ice Cream in San Francisco, one of my favorites, is boarded up due to antisemitic vandalism. Its crime? Being owned by Jews.

An Associated Press visual analysis finds that the deadly blast that rocked a Gaza hospital was likely caused by a rocket fired from inside Palestinian territory that veered off course, broke up in the air and crashed to the ground. apnews.com/article/israel…

This is a recording of a phone call from inside Gaza about the failed rocket launch by Islamic Jihad which hit the hospital. Don't let Hamas and Islamic Jihad spread their lies. Share this.

At around 19:00 this evening, a failed rocket launch was shown live on air on Al Jazeera. The rocket was launched and fell in Gaza causing an explosion. They don't only kill our children, they also kill their own.

It's time to ask why news organizations, like the BBC and Sky News, first report that Israel is to blame for hitting the hospital in Gaza and only then check the facts and realize they got it wrong, that it was actually Islamic Jihad.
