For six months I read document after document unpacking how Princeton got involved in a set of private fossil fuel investments. Read about it from Princeton’s editorially independent alumni magazine here:

This piece is a testament to the importance of local news. The RoundTable was tipped off about the incident and got there first because of local sources. We got the interviews we did because we have built trust with sources. Proud to work for a paper that's invested in the community it serves.

So proud to have tag-teamed this piece with @alexhairysun.bsky.social and Margo Milanowski. What exactly happened when Customs and Border Patrol agents were met by community members at an Evanston intersection on Friday afternoon?

From an interview I did with an Evanston man who filmed the incident at Oakton/Asbury today:

Alex Harrison @alexhairysun.bsky.social · 1d

From an Evanston resident filming an arrest at Oakton/Asbury ~an hour ago:

"He was being very violent with her, I said ‘You got to stop that,’ and he said, ‘Step back or I’ll fucking shoot you.‘ I step back, and then I continue to record, at which point he turned around and pointed a gun at me.”

NBA owners are flocking to buy into the WNBA.

Could the Reinsdorfs be next in the trend?

WNBA is attracting more NBA owners. Would the Reinsdorfs — or another Bulls owner — have interest in Chicago Sky?

The Chicago Sky soon may be one of only four WNBA teams with fully independent ownership. Could that change? And would Bulls Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf consider following the trend?

It appears a green object was thrown onto the court at the Sky/Valks game. I couldn't see it for myself, but seems it may be the same type as at Dream/Valks game. Security was talking to people in the 200 sections.

I'm afraid I've confirmed that The Philadelphia Inquirer ran the same "Heat Index" supplement that the Chicago Sun-Times did

Cover page of The Philadelphia Inquirer's "Heat Index" section, with a photo of a kid in a bathing suit and goggles underwater in a swimming pool.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s appearance at Princeton yesterday was met with numerous protests — and actions taken by protesters are now under investigation, according to the University.

Kaitlyn Chen ’24. What a story. Lost her first year playing at Princeton due to COVID, built up her skills under an incredible Princeton coaching staff led by Carla Berube, and cashed in the covid year for a National Championship with UConn. An Ivy degree + a natty!

Five weeks ago, Mary Kate Cornett was a first-year business major dating another Ole Miss student.

Then a spurious claim about her and her boyfriend’s father spread — and was amplified by Pat McAfee, Barstool personalities and others.

Been playing with some stats re: Princeton MBB's first half point totals vs second half point titles. Can they solve the urgency problem?
