No one has confided in me about any serious losses. Any time I see kids trading crypto or options in class (and I teach in a business school, so it's not uncommon) I just tell them to buy index funds. Which might be why they don't tell me how much they've lost

For me, this is the biggest change I've seen in college students over the past decade. The sheer number that are trading crypto, doing sports betting, or now polymarket bullshit is insane. I'd rather they just sleep in class than try to win an unfair game.

Yah, Panic! At the Disco is great. But have you listened to

This is what got you tenure in 1875.

I liked Superman. A lot. But there are two issues. 1) it is a very "I know authors who use subtext and they're all cowards" movie. 2) James Gunn should have had the courage to use the Mighty Mighty Bosstones rather than the made up band The Mighty Crab Joys.

Trump promised 90 deals in 90 days—so far he’s delivered countless rants and endless delays. Small businesses shouldn’t need a Truth Social account to figure out how much they’ll be paying in tariffs in three weeks.

Persecuted for being LGBTQ+ in Trump country, they now have a chance to start over someplace new Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society are fighting persecution by offering loans to those who need to flee,

Jewish orgs Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Association are giving out interest-free loans to LGBTQ+ folks who need to re-locate but can’t afford it. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE JEWISH.

“The idea that people were having to pick up and flee their homes was something that resonated Jewishly.”

Qual researcher here and was a French trained fine dining pastry chef before I went to uni. The qual/quant divide here is a false dichotomy. The real division is how particular you are about methodological precision. Care a lot= baker/pastry chef. Happy to go "looks okay" and wing it= cook

I was told he wrote in a purposeful parody of the High Parisian style.

I know. We went there yesterday. It’s great but it should be bigger and better.

a two-axis graph. The blue line, representing the number of papers written on high-growth entrepreneurship goes up exponentially starting from 1988. The green bars, representing the annual rate of high-growth entrepreneurship, declines over that same period.

This graph came to me in a dream last night. The rates of high-growth research in the USA vs the number of papers written on it.

Shouldn’t it be hello globe or hello geoid?

I don't have a good meme collection, but good luck! Everyone is rooting for you!

How many hours did a senior associate get to bill to Fansly’s in house council to explain the difference between kemonomimi and a fursona.

Business Leaders Call Trump Attacks on Universities a Competitive Threat More than 200 business leaders signed an open letter calling on the Trump administration to reverse its moves against colleges and universities, arguing that funding cuts and restrictions on [student

Former CEOs are willing to speak out about higher education's role in economic development, but most current CEOs are staying quiet due to the (legitimate) fear of retribution.

I feel someone (you) should be making pearly gates memes about this.

Correct. Sixties is an adjective here describing Liverpool, not a noun possessing it.

EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for economic research, per former BLS Commissioner @ericagroshen.bsky.social on LinkedIn.

@mcuban.bsky.social you should talk about this in your keynote. Sorry I won’t be able to make it.

Folks attending the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Indiana this week: when you’re talking to people in the state Gov’t, talk about how this is bad. Strong ecosystems need smart people taught by the best. not political hacks selected by commissars.

The Biden manufacturing construction boom is over:

List of wild boar and their designations based on age: Squeaker (0-10 months), Juvenile (10-12 months), Pig of the Sounder (2 years), Boar of the 4th/5th/6th year, Old Boar, and Grand Old Boar (over 7 years)

I know I've seen it circulate before, but research just led me back to this table of boars leveling up, and I love it so.
