@slmandel.bsky.social Is the same thing happening to Penn St that happened to Nebraska 10-20 years ago? They are getting a lesson in what the rest of college football thinks of their place.

One thing I learned living in Silicon Valley is that every 5 years or so, there's a technology that every VC will back regardless of what else is associated.
A decade ago, put crypto in any proposal and profit.
Now, put AI in.
"The Cloud" is evergreen

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

I wrote about the "Appeasement Eight" Senate Democrats getting the party to fold to Trump in the government shutdown, and why it shows that pro-democracy Americans badly need a real opposition party, full of leaders who recognize the United States isn't a normal rule of law democracy anymore.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

PSA: Don't gamble.
In NFL games this week, a QB scored a TD after falling twice. Another team scored a TD on a play they threw an INT.
