This reminds me Sassoon’ brilliant interview with Karl Marx. Seems appropriate to post it in this thread:

Relatedly, Masoud and I were just going on about how awesome Donald Sassoon is as a historian of the Left. His book _One Hundred Years of Socialism_ should be required reading by the Left intellectual space Mamdani has tapped into.

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Only real apples to apples comparison is net of arrest and trial. Otherwise you’re comparing apples and oranges. Read more than the abstract - it’s great work and worth it.

That compelling figure shows most of the Colorado River goes to agriculture. And most of that goes to alfalfa to feed cows.

While cities have done a remarkable job on water conservation, the biggest problem is basically beef.

Hay grown for cattle consumes nearly half the water drawn from Colorado River, study finds
Much of the Colorado River's water is used for agriculture. A new study shows 46% of the water that is diverted is used to grow hay to feed cattle.

I don’t actually know how much UCLA college football spends. But I bet it is surely more than ~$9 million. And I’d bet it spends similar amounts to peer college football programs.

I also would bet many college football programs spend more than the revenue they bring in.
