I see Richard Spencer (aka California Manufacturing and Engineering Co.) put another $500k into the Yes on E campaign yesterday.

Still working on putting together all of the contributions, but yeah, that's a lot.

UCs are funded at $33,000 per student.
CSUs at $20,000.

Community colleges are at $11,000, which the highest in years. The LAO thinks we should be funded less. We serve the most vulnerable and disadvantaged student population. How is this equitable?

All journals should adopt this policy.

Strict formatting requirements on initial submission are silly.

Something like 40% of Atlanta homes are investor-owned. And this from Washington Post:

"Last year, 30 percent of home sales in majority Black neighborhoods were to investors, compared with 12 percent in other Zip codes"

It has been 84 days since our friend, Brittney Griner, has been wrongfully detained in Russia. It is time for her to come home. @WhiteHouse, we are paying attention and we are counting on you. #WeAreBG

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.

She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.

For Radical Delegation, you *start with* the set of tasks above the line in the Eisenhower Matrix, and then ruthlessly delegate most of them with a delegation contract. That leaves you with a smaller subset for your focus and the delegation helps raise your broader team's skills.

My friend and colleague in political science, Nataliia Kasianenko, is from Ukraine and her parents are still there. They are making their way to Poland, but had access to very little when leaving. Some have asked how they can help Nataliia. Here’s one way: https://t.co/qDtKBlZCKZ
