@aakashgupta great post. Quick question on this statement: "In 2024 alone, 28 shut down. One per week." Should that be one shut down every ~2 weeks?

Universities had 17 years of warning. They responded by doing the opposite of what the math demanded. In 2008, American birth rates fell off a cliff. The Great Recession made people stop having kids. Those never-born children would be turning 18 right now. The number of U.S. high school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025. By 2029, that number drops 15%. By 2041, it drops by nearly half a million students per year. Every school in this tweet had access to the same Census data. They all saw the same curve. Administrative positions at U.S. colleges grew 60% between 1993 and 2009, ten times the rate of tenured faculty growth. Non-instructional spending (student services, administration) grew 29% from 2010 to 2018. Instructional spending grew 17%. Average tuition at public four-year schools went from $3,500 in 2000 to $10,560 in 2023. Yale now has more administrators than undergraduate students. 5,460 administrators for fewer than 5,000 undergrads. They built the cost structure of a growth company on top of a customer base that was mathematically guaranteed to shrink. The split in this data tells you everything. Clemson, Syracuse, Duke, UNC, and Indiana are all cutting because the model broke. Alabama, Ole Miss, and the University of Florida are turning away more applicants than ever. Harvard gets five applications for every spot. The middle is where the cliff hits. Elite schools absorb demand. Everyone between elite and community college fights over a shrinking pool. The Fed published a study in December 2024 predicting 80 colleges will close in the next five years. Since 2016, over 100 already have. In 2024 alone, 28 shut down. One per week. These program cuts and layoffs are a decade late. The birth rate data was sitting in Census spreadsheets the entire time. Everyone in higher education administration saw the enrollment cliff coming. They hired more administrators anyway.

@NoahRoySmith @bmartinhan @tesla_na Not for me, maybe it’s still rolling out?

@bmartinhan @tesla_na It’s in there now!!!

Tesla Insurance update With the latest version of Safety Score (v3.0), every mile you drive with FSD Supervised enabled will receive a score of 100. This allows you to maintain a higher average safety score over time, resulting in lower monthly insurance premiums. Applies to new policies in Indiana, Tennessee, Texas, Arizona, Virginia & Illinois

@JoannaStern Mimestream, it’s a subscription, but worth it

Is there a great Mac email client? Like an actual great one where I won't find myself going back to Gmail web four days later.

@aakashgupta CyberSUV would make an excellent product market fit here.

@SaveStandard Done!

Tennessee has a bill to ditch Daylight Saving Time! Tell your TN state lawmakers “Yes on HB 2071”: votervoice.net/ditchDST/Campa…

Let’s DitchDST in Tennessee!

Local sunrises and sunsets vary greatly based on latitude and longitude. I’m a parent myself and our family loathes DST - it’s especially bad in East TN where we should really be on Standard time. Standard time results in the best balance for health and safety across all locations. Winter days are naturally shorter and Summer days are naturally longer - no clock change required.

@StephenSayler @wholemars Locked Standard means sunrise at 4am (and earlier in some places) in the summer and sunset at 4pm in most places in the winter. Daylight savings should be the standard so that families can enjoy time together Later in the evening after school and work.

I like it

It should be an easy choice: Standard time should be the standard. Arizona seems to manage fine when its neighbors use DST. That said it would of course be preferable for national governments to standardize to prevent a chaotic result from states and provinces choosing differently.

@StephenSayler @wholemars You would think that but Saskatchewan which doesn't change it's time is locked on DST. It's because we are quite north in the northern hemisphere. If we use the standard time then everyone will be on different times? Thoughts?

@MacktasticJ @ThrillaRilla369 Changing the clock doesn’t change how much daylight exists. Only nature does that. Save Standard Time

@ThrillaRilla369 Spring ahead then stop…. Short daylight days suck!

Don’t forget daylight savings is this weekend Be honest Is anyone else in favor of eliminating it entirely? 🤔

omg, this is so very well said. Stealing this.

@naijasportscrib @CoachDanGo Not possible with kids in school. Adults who prefer evening light have much more authority to edit their schedule than families - we need to prioritize the health of the latter over the preferences of the former.

@CoachDanGo Quick fix. You can stay in bed till you see light or sun.

I don’t like this at all. Morning sun especially in the winter is way more important than getting light in the evenings.

@StealthQE4 For you + various lists that are focused subsets of following e.g. finance, weather ,etc

Time for a poll: Which feed do you typically read:

@slye R3LY?

Here’s what I think Tesla does: Roadster replaces Model S Model YL replaces Model X ??? Profit

@Lemonade_Inc @Tesla When using this Tesla integration for telematics, are users still required to share location always via the Lemonade app and leave it running in the background?

Lemonade customers who own @Tesla vehicles in California, Oregon, and Arizona can now connect their cars directly to the Lemonade app! ⚡🚘 Direct connection = no telematics device needed 📵 Better customer experience 💃 Smarter pricing with Lemonade 🧠 This is a game-changer for smarter, seamless experiences and we’re just getting started! More states coming in 2026 🇺🇸

Hoping Tesla's sustainable abundance initiative is successful so that we can banish ads on the internet. In the meantime, I'm thankful for Safari Reader.

@teslascope I got included in this wave as well 🙏

Another wave of Full Self-Driving V14.1.4 (2025.32.8.16) is now going out to additional AI4 vehicles. This includes vehicles that were previously on V13 builds, but still excluding Cybertruck at this time.

@mrfundman same here

Still no FSD 14.. sucks. Am I the only one who still doesn’t have it??

@NotATeslaApp FSD should learn to avoid potholes. Voice dial should remember & use preferred phone numbers for contacts instead of requiring users tap it every time.

With a feature request tool coming soon from Tesla, what are your top requests? List them down below! We'll start with 3! Custom Navigation Options, like avoiding a particular road. PowerShare on more vehicles Rear Camera washers

@DuCrew @NotATeslaApp This. It could also auto learn your preferred route, via disengagements or turn signals, and automatically select it in the future

@NotATeslaApp Save custom navigation routes as favorites. Allow you to manually pick the roads to drive, and then save them favorite routes. I have a route to work that is quickest bc of traffic but current options do not take that route bc it is a small road (less traffic too).
