[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:

Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?

The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.

Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.

In short, they said:

It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:

“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”

The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.

Don’t take my word for it.

You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.

They must all resign in disgrace.

If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.

Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?

Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.

To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.

On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.

It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.

If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.

@ProcureBites Yeah, I heard about this one - not seen it. On-field refereeing has been far better this season. But the VAR officials are clueless.

[Daniel Barnes @_contractsguy]

VAR is killing the PL.

As a Wolves fan, who usually can remove the bias, the decisions last night were diabolical.

First pen - no contact but couldn't over rule the ref because it's not clear and obvious.

Second pen - Super harsh, ref didn't give it, wasn't an obvious mistake but this, in reality gets over turned.

Headbutt - should always be a red card. No such thing as a soft headbut.

Ream could have had a second yellow - could have been harsh as it was more clumsy than anything else.

The passion slowly goes each game.

One thing I'm convinced about after moving from a Procurement focus to Marketing:

Creativity might be the only role left once AI is prevalent.

[Daniel Barnes @_contractsguy]

That's how you change an industry...again

@cjgustafson dude, congrats to you and your family ✌️

[Daniel Barnes @_contractsguy]

@elonmusk @joerogan @TheRock I want one.

How much are they gonna cost in the UK?

[Daniel Barnes @_contractsguy]

There is only one thing I pursue with my work...

Happiness doing it.

End results usually follow.

[Daniel Barnes @_contractsguy]

@jodie_cook YES :D

[Daniel Barnes @_contractsguy]

People ask me how I make so much content about Procurement.

It's simple.

I've made notes throughout my career.

I take those notes, connect them with other notes, and share them.

The hard work has been done.

And I've got my @NotionHQ second brain powering my notes capture.

We are very excited to let you know that in early December, we will release the first trailer for the next Grand Theft Auto. We look forward to many more years of sharing these experiences with all of you.

Thank you,

@sallylewis488 You realise the "monarch" is just the mouthpiece for the government, right, with this yearly speech?

But I agree...basics aren't in place, but that's a Tory issue, not a monarch issue.
