people love to look at the top but everythig below will die and funnel into state schools

[Deedy @deedydas]

It blows my mind that Northeastern is now a more selective school than Northwestern.

US college reputations have changed a ton in the last 15yrs.
— Vanderbilt / UChicago are now squarely elite: no different from MIT / Princeton in terms of SAT scores and selectivity.
— The SAT has been gamed into oblivion. You used to rest assured that a 1600 meant you were going somewhere awesome. Now, the top 25% of the 20 universities are 1570+, including NYU.
— Universities in big cities holistically see a huge rise: Boston (NE, BU), NYC (NYU), Chicago (UChicago), LA (USC).

The whole "college is dead" is a luxury belief. At the upper end at least, college is very much alive and it's getting fiercely more competitive.

If this continues, 15yrs later, most top 15 colleges will be <2% acceptance rate.

[austerity is theft @wideofthepost]

the right seems to grasp that the ‘em isn’t them

@Pritchard4Three @jewebacca41 @ErikSlater_ we live in tough times

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

loved the @JomboyMedia watch party. got to meet a lot of cool fans :)

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

@crillah_ra @Pritchard4Three @ErikSlater_ with what time

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

@jewebacca41 @Pritchard4Three @ErikSlater_ i'm not arguing that. i'm talking risk mitigation

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

@jewebacca41 @Pritchard4Three @ErikSlater_ after income + jock taxes + agent fees. it's less than half. 4.5 million. if he never takes anything out then it's a 200k~ salary. Rent needs to be around 4k a month which isn't a crazy amount in NYC

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

@Pritchard4Three @ErikSlater_ if he never earns another contract 9 million is the most he will ever make. not a horrible idea to find a cheaper place to rent

@ChrisCoop_ Kind of Disingenuous the rays played at yankee stadium lite last year

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

@deoinsandersbro @brndxix she followed them because suddenly- they have an extreme affect on a race for a senate seat

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

@ClubGrish my thinkpiece is lowkey the fans/media are the problem

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

@ClubGrish their at bats do seem better though.

like before they were just swinging at anything and starts were going so deep.

I like this approach better than last week

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

(as someone who grew up in this scenario of basically a 3:1 ratio)

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

i know this engagement slop but there are actual issues that come from it and they're all societal reinforcement

basically even if the couple is fine with it there are plenty of people around who are not

[RecruitmentPQ @RecruitmentPq]

Marrying a woman who earns more sounds progressive until you actually live it, here’s the truth nobody warns you about:

[nathaniel @__nathanos]

what no one is talking about is that the Balogun suspension would never happen in american sports because they're unionized

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

BREAKING: Belgium wins right to appeal FIFA’s decision to lift Folarin Balogun’s ban.

@ClubGrish i like this lineup defensively a lot.

[Matt Sommer @Msommer524]

My son’s having his first ever sleep over with 3 friends at our house and my wife went out to dinner with some friends, leaving me in charge. She wants an update
