@DocDantzler BALLIN OUT LFG

@mehmetikberker It’s so bad. Those guys are both cool and it’s all cringe.

@DocDantzler Fulbright?

@DaneMooreNBA Please say “Jaden is not going to put up 23 against (next opponent)” every pod.

Not to be the glass is always half-full guy, but even if the Wolves ultimately lose this game, I think making this game competitive can go a long from a confidence and momentum standpoint. More big games coming up this weekend against Cleveland and Golden State.

If you're fresh out of a PhD program and looking for housing research experience, join us! You'll get to work with and learn from some of the best: @mc_lens, @MichaelManvill6, and @elpaavo. You'll also have the chance to do plenty of your own self-directed research.

We want a postdoc! Come work with me, @elpaavo @mc_lens @ShaneDPhillips and the Lewis Center team on housing supply and affordability. The work is good, and Paavo serves lunch every day!* (*The lunch thing isn't true). recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF09185

New article from @elpaavo @mc_lens and myself in JHE. should be open access, courtesy of the UC Library system! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This week students and faculty from @UCLALuskin came to Sacramento for a briefing with legislators. Incredibly grateful to have been invited to join in the conversation and rep for the MPP alums

@AlexFischCC @ShaneDPhillips @MichaelManvill6 I got a better mic but that doesn’t make me a better Mike

Song changed my life. The organic rise of Keef needs to be studied. Never seen something like this before

It’s rare to get excited about an edited volume, but this is one we are thrilled to put out in the world! Sociology has long had important things to say about the role housing plays in our world; you will find so many of them in the 24 short chapters of this volume. Shipping now!
