Once again, we have completely lost the thread on how a college education is supposed to work. It’s not major=>job, it’s major=>opportunity to learn critical thinking and expression=>job. Double majors do not produce double opportunities.

I’m going to keep pointing out that outrage is the goal here. Bannon seeks to create a question about a third term, which will lessen Trump’s lame duck status. This rhetoric suggests his team is terrified.
Reporting Bannon’s comments without pointing this out helps him drag out the admins power.

Uh, I’m a sprinter deeply allergic to anything more than one lap, but 9:20 mile pace (for real, that is the passing pace for the 1.5 mile run) is *too slow* for my warmup cycle. I would pass you while stopping to do intermittent warmup exercises.

The President lives and dies by the numbers. All his claims are about numbers. Suddenly, @nytimes.com is focused on content, not numbers?
Seems like maybe the protest numbers are not things this administration wants us to hear.

1) It's pretty straightforward: stop trying to cut the ACA subsidy (a cut that will harm a huge number of people) and the government reopens.
2) It is challenging to take GOP concerns about any federal workers seriously after the past 10 months.

Want to co-sign this as someone who works in philanthropy. Conservative donors and foundations have been willing to invest huge sums for general support, correctly assuming that it would produce long-term gains. The liberal approach to philanthropy has been pretty much the exact opposite.

To meet climate goals, we need to produce less fossil fuel.
The Production Gap Report, produced by a @sei.org-led consortium, measures the gap between what governments plan to produce & what’s compatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
Spoiler: The gap is wide.

I don’t use a weighted vest for training. I just let myself get out of shape and about 10lbs above race weight in my offseason.
Voila! Human weighted vest for most of the preseason.
