My biggest fear for the Dems. Way too many "top Democrats" think the party's failure has been more about candidates' identities, and not the fact that they've run uninspiring candidates for the last 3 presidential elections. Message & platform matter way more than gender or race!
AXIOS: Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, White, Christian man.
Former first lady Michelle Obama fueled such talk recently, saying the U.S. is "not ready for a woman." Democratic strategists have put it bluntly, with several saying a version of "It has to be a white guy."

Was just talking with a colleague yesterday about how much NIL $$ and the transfer portal have changed college basketball. I don't blame the athletes, but it is undeniable that it has significantly changed the game (and the tourney).......
So when my five year old is late to school, I have to sign him in at the front office, including the reason he was late. Sometimes I want to just write "because he's 5." Today I went with brutal honesty: "badly timed poop"
I will never understand why Democrats can't figure this out. It's so obvious! Until they become the party of the people again, they will continue to lose
Stavros puts on a master class in talking to otherwise conservative people about class politics accessibly, on a massive right leaning podcast (5 million monthly listeners). This is the reverse insidious platforming we need (link to full video below)
I'm not happy about it, but if the Bruins keep playing like this, the silver lining is that I might actually be able to afford to take my kid to a game this season (ditto x 100 to the Patriots)
Literally loving everything I've seen from these guys the last few weeks. Seems like they've finally got some chemistry to go with all that talent. Gonna be a fun season #DefendTheCrown
Thread 🧵incoming… I asked my students in my new Economics of Aging course at BC to make TikTok-style videos explaining their empirical term papers in creative ways using terms everyone could understand. And boy did they deliver!
The Charlotte Hornets announce the franchise has hired Boston Celtics assistant Charles Lee as their new head coach. Lee has spent the last 11 years as a highly-respected assistant in Atlanta, Milwaukee and Boston.
Never made sense to me the efforts organizations will go to get you to pretend you as a human can operate w/out bias (rather than just acknowledging your biases openly) when it's clear the whole industry is built on them. Unpaid interns for example - most could never afford that!
