Imagine believing that the college admission process was truly evaluating "challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned." Maybe it's not good that those making and interpreting our laws have lived their entire lives in make believe land? #SCOTUS

As part of my job I often interact with colleagues on rotation at the National Science Foundation. And on more than one occasion, without thinking and out of common courtesy, I've offered to buy them a coffee. When this has happened, every one has politely refused, telling me this would be a conflict of interest. But sure Alito. https://www.propublica.org/article/samuel-alito-luxury-fishing-trip-paul-singer-scotus-supreme-court
Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

This genuinely made me laugh. The GOP used the White House during their convention. But you’re right, when the word “mega”was used in front of MAGA from the White House podium the blatant Hatch Act violation took my breath away.

This year of "weird" NYC weather suggests that due to climate change my research group the "Snow Day Learning Lab" will eventually be renamed the "Wildfire Smoke Day Learning Lab"
