I’m increasingly convinced that the willingness to change your mind is the ultimate sign of intelligence. The most impressive people I know change their minds often in response to new information. It’s like a software update. The goal isn't to be right. It's to find the truth.
Gather round, it’s time. Ours has a dad bod. Thin on top - thick in the middle. But the magic of Christmas will be in the room soon. All the best to you and yours. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. What are we working with out there?

"Roughly two-thirds (58% – 74%) of [Purdue's] Back a Boiler students have paid less in the ISA than they would have paid in a comparable Parent PLUS loan." @ethanpollack https://t.co/34y2ers6jw
Every viewer of the tape heard Senator Padilla identify himself. He's the ranking Democrat on the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Safety. We're supposed to believe that Homeland Security secretary Noem did not recognize him?
43 million Americans have left college with no credential. That’s the higher-ed crisis. Just as important as getting students to college is connecting them with institutions that have a track record of success, offer credentials of value, and provide adequate student support.
The first 5 mins of #uconnwbb vs #SouthCarolina championship game was sooo good. Some TOs at the end but great time and score to end the quarter. #NCAAWBB
Much more important than which Department hosts the student loan program is how to get it to be laser-focused on improving the economic mobility of students and to be a good steward of taxpayer money, neither of which are happening today.
I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.
The time has arrived…
Merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday season to all, wherever you may be.
Tall, short, fat, skinny, real or fake - it’s Christmas and it’s all good. #ShowSVPTheTree
