is there any large-scale history or study on why/how universities started investing in overleveraged real estate. it's a really fascinating (if morbid) phenomenon

Canada stands shoulder to shoulder with Greenland.
Today's dance expresses solidarity with the resilient Greenlandic Inuit people and all other communities who form the lovely fabric of Greenland.
Invaders may persist, but your resilience will prevail.

I have a master’s in nutrition. Riboflavin is vitamin B2.
If you can’t pronounce it and do not know what it is maybe don’t be our health secretary!

I have hosted TONS of town halls.
Even if you believe the GOP line that all their community outrage about cuts is fake (I disagree), right-wing groups have crashed mine plenty of times. *Not once* has that ever stopped me from facing my community.
People deserve better.

These are the best. Support Indigenous knitters.

This one is controversial, as not all Coast Salish people consider themselves Canadian. Still, I would be remiss to not mention these beautiful hand-knit sweaters bc they're on my wish list. Made in British Columbia by indigenous knitters. I want one! knitwithpurpose.com

This DOGE stuff is so unserious. The “no-brainer” $125B savings include $120B that are simply a goal of how much of its spending the govt wants to contract to “socially/economically disadvantaged” small business. Sure get rid of that if you want, but it saves zero dollars.

After several delays, @DOGE has finally posted its purported savings. Why did it take so long to create a simple webpage with a 1000-row table? Who knows! Let's dig in.
Headline number: $55B saved. They list the savings per nixed contract. This should be easy to verify then.

It's Monday. @DOGE is the laziest, most overpaid bunch of incompetent, unelected bureaucrats we've ever seen.

Free filing directly through the IRS is how it should be for most Americans. intermediaries like @turbotax rip us off. Congress finally made it easy for Americans to file their taxes online without paying tax firms and Elon eliminates it

Until today you could file your taxes FOR FREE. Trump just took that from you.

Elon Musk is now bragging about getting rid of the team that put together the 'Direct File' tax filing system, which allows citizens to easily file their taxes for free. Direct File is a big target of the for-profit tax prep industry including corporations like Intuit and H&R Block.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

every now and again I forget that there's a Habsburg on this sorry platform, and it's so immensely deflating—as a scholar of early modern Habsburgs—to read their posts

world's richest man thinks he's the world's smartest man and that's going about as you'd expect, but enough people mistake wealth for intelligence that we'll reap the whirlwind
