The law has a plot and a purpose. Professor Thom Lambert makes it sound like Shakespeare. @MizzouLaw https://t.co/90rHc5NK0h

@NAASC_NA_ICAR @Mizzou Thanks for the shout-out! That was one of my all-time favorite stories to write. His persistence is something I’ve talked to a lot of students about over the years. A remarkable man.

@PeterZeihan :) I've been reading you since March 2019 when you were on the Invest Like the Best podcast. You've been very helpful as I advise college students applying for the DOD's Boren Awards, which live at the intersection of language learning and national security. Huge thanks!

@PeterZeihan I hear Russian beet growers can't get the herbicides they need and are quitting farming to go into hiphop. Cuz they have a lot of sick beets. Can you confirm?

@patrick_oshag The new edition of Liar's Poker, read by Michael Lewis, is great. It's like if Criterion Collection did an audiobook.

Another Daily Coach quote: "The richest human isn’t the one who has the most but who needs less. Wealth is a mindset."

A good quote from my @TheDailyCoach email: "Courage does not happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life."

@SarahSabatke @natejcannon None of us gets anywhere alone! But I hope I'm just the storytelling mentor. Unless by "adulting" you mean knowing which professional to call to do the thing you don't know how to do. 😄

Don't know who first said this, but I like it: "Forget about being right all the time and focus on being less wrong."

@teannaneshay This one fits my schedule! https://t.co/wBa11gGZ9u

@PeterZeihan John Mearsheimer ties Russia's Ukraine invasion to NATO/EU expansion. I hear you say that's stupid; geography and demography are causative. John says the Polish Gap is whatevs to Russia because missiles/nukes, but a Western democracy in Ukraine is a no-go. Thoughts?

@teannaneshay I always choose tomorrow morning. But I'm going to change that! ... tomorrow.

The CEO of Apple will make $98.7 million for leading the most valuable company in the world for a year. That sounds absurd to me. But then what do you call it when Aaron Rodgers makes $50 million for playing a game for six months?

@ParshallTim I'll try it! "Sinatra at the Sands" is one of my favorite albums. Anything to get a break from the new Disney movie "Encanto," whose songs were perfectly fine and good — the first hundred times.

On my work-from-home snow day, I'm trying to convince my 10-year-old and her friend that '90s music is catchy. Hardest thing I've done all week. Kids these days.

[Erik Potter @E_Potter]

@SarahSabatke Spotify was suggesting the music. It was top-40 alt rock stuff. They were completely immune. They didn't even think "Tubthumping" was catchy! I'm not saying it's Dylan, but that stupid song has been stuck in my head for 25 years.

For those interested in the legacy of white supremacy in the U.S. church, the author of "White Too Long" will speak in Columbia March 19. The book is a stellar mixture of story, memoir and research. It has hard things to say but gives hope for the future. https://t.co/sKZosuaeV0

Goodbye Redskins, hello Washington Commanders. MLK said America exhibits three main sins: racism, militarism and economic injustice (poverty). Maybe in another 75 years the Commanders can change their name to the Washington Slum Lords and collect the whole set!

@gilzow There are these people called electricityologists who can drive to your house and do all that stuff for you.

The Christmas playlists have started in the Potter house. Not sure why it took me 40 years to ask this question: https://t.co/FteTMn6e3I
