Just throwing this out there - if Elon wants to use a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of his trillion to buy my wife and I a couple of used Hondas, that'd be cool.
Heavyweight as it exists under Spotify will be ending after this season, on Dec 21st. We’re so proud of everything we’ve made, and we’re hoping the show finds a new home in the future. Till then, stay tuned (stay subscribed)! And thank you all so much for your love and support.
The Atlantic has a particularly thorough and damning story about the self-inflicted catastrophe at a poor state's flagship university. I think it's the last one I'll read. They make me too sad. (h/t @ameliaknisely) https://t.co/7g2QZH53Vu

Six right wing politicians, masquerading as judges, gleefully imposing their politics on the country by fiat, and unremorsefully living lives of leisure subsidized by billionaires with interests before the court.
An outrageous scam.
Looks like this is only for undergraduate loans. Feels almost cruel that they’re not also applying these same plans to grad debt, considering so many folks with grad degrees work in lower paying fields like education and social work.
