@RyanGirdusky It’s funny how some people function like the last 24 years of geopolitics never happened.

Shipbuilding in the United States has been in shambles due to decades of shortsighted policies and neglect. Today, the U.S. rolls out about three large cargo ships a year while China does around 1,000. The Trump administration has called this a national security crisis. Sunday.

The new largest Lego set (by piece count) will be Architecture's Sagrada Família, coming in at 12,060 pieces and retailing for $600 USD. La Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Spain, has been under construction since 1882, with its main structure scheduled to be completed in 2026. It will be the tallest church in the world. Is this a set you want to add to your collection?

Art Deco is the peak of American design. Every skyscraper should be art deco, every piece of public art should be art deco, America was destined since 1776 to be Art Deco.

Morning-After thought: Underrated story line weaved through HPU’s past two seasons is the long term payoff of selflessness and commitment to team/process.
Chase Johnston was a starter earlier this year and after a bit of a rocky stretch for the overall team he was asked to take a smaller, more specific role, for the benefit of the group. He committed to it, got better at it, and this morning he is now the hero of the first day of March Madness.
Cam’Ron Flethcher, went through some struggles this season. It was obvious he had to earn his way back into the rotation off the bench with defensive play and rebounding. Which he did (we all saw the effort, big fella!). The result: he’s been an absolute monster and his offensive game has started to feed off the defensive/rebounding energy.
Go back to Bobby P, Trae (Mr Mean Mug), Laye, Simon and Terry last year. They ended up saving our season in Johnson City and taking HPU to their first NCAAT bid when all of them had various reasons to check out at given times.
Then finally take a look at Dan Hauser and Nido Qubein. Surely there were naysayers who said a school like High Point should have gone out and got a big name HC hire or a power 5 assistant coach. But instead they trusted the process and committed to the guy one seat down the bench; who understands the vision.
Moral of the story is sometimes trusting your coaches, your teammates and yourself through a tough situation is more rewarding than bailing at the first sign of adversity or trouble. That’s a lesson college basketball seems to need across the board now, more than ever.

Because city code regulators decided it was more important to save a single watt of electricity each year by having something drab and uninteresting.

“Hey Chuck, you are blessed to receive an offer from High Point University!
Due to only playing 3 years at Auburn, we feel positive about your waiver for immediate eligibility. Let’s work!”

High Point is a country club school with no football meaning they can pay their players well

The thing I learned about High Point University today: They have three high-end restaurants on campus where students learn business conversation skills, interview etiquette, table manners, the bread/drink rule, etc.🧐🏀🍽️

ok if Vegas basically upgraded itself to being a classy, high-end vacation destination, where should I go for my trashy vacations now?
Jedi Rich@jedirich_
Sure… Vegas is “dead.” Meanwhile, inside the Bellagio Conservatory — packed every day. Here’s the reality people don’t want to admit: Vegas didn’t die… it filtered. Post-Covid, they let anyone in just to survive. Cheap rooms, chaos, TikTok fights, people crying about $20 water in the desert. Now? That era’s over. Prices went up. Vibe cleaned up. And the people who can actually afford to be here showed back up. If you think Vegas is dead… you’re probably just not the target customer anymore. And judging by the crowds — they’re perfectly fine with that.
English
A young person entering the business world for the first time is going to use conversational skills, etiquette, and table manners infinitely more than their collegiate art history courses.
Skills such as these were a normal part of a liberal arts education for many years.

People want to dunk on High Point but when I got out of school the thing I was least prepared for was socializing in a professional setting and I never really got good at it. Doesn’t strike me as a crazy thing to prepare kids for.

@drantbradley One might conjecture that most colleges are charging students exorbitant rates for degrees they know are worthless.
Your gate keeping against HPU is misplaced.
English
Their acceptance rate is 75%. One might conjecture that their niche is rich kids who could not get into Duke or UNC. Or Clemson, etc.
The Wall Street Journal@WSJ
High Point University prides itself on preparing students for the rigors of a career. Servers at its steakhouse coach the young diners on body language, professional attire and which fork to use. The college has become a favorite of affluent families. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4bZN0EP

"The fastest-growing age cohort is people 65 and older," George F. Will writes. Because of their powerful incentive to vote, the political class has a permanent incentive to intensify the elderly’s incentive by enriching those benefits. wapo.st/4lEcvj9

'UNBELIEVABLE SEASON': High Point guard Chase Johnston delivered the game-winning basket in a historic March Madness upset over No. 5 Wisconsin — then used the spotlight to share his faith: “First and foremost, I wanna give all glory to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." "This is a group of guys that’s built on John 15:13. We serve each other, we love each other, and we’d die for each other. I’m so grateful."

The @PinkPantherHPU told me his favorite thing about attending High Point was the free ice cream truck for students (event staff also asked him to take off the mask).

Y'all are dunking on High Point University, but odds are most of you wouldn’t know what to do with yourselves if you wound up at dinner with a Fortune 10 CEO, elected official, or foreign dignitary. “Be yourself” only gets you so far.
