A truly deranged opinion piece about Gaza protests out of the The New York Times that casts a father-daughter bonding moment as sinister and 'not peaceful'.

You need to be dilettantemaxxing. You need to be dabbling in various fields and pursuits. Half-heartedly exploring beekeeping. Reading the first two chapters of a physics textbook. Knitting 2/3 of a glove. You need to be abandoning projects

Considering the overwhelming majority of American college students already go to state schools, I assume the audience for this is nate’s cranky middle aged readers who are mad at their Alma maters for admitting students with the political values of their generation

Nearly 50% of commuter stations in the Lower Hudson Valley are restrictive - meaning they're 'considered unfriendly' for multi-family housing and transit-oriented development.

Good morning! It's not the biggest thing going on in the world right now, but I had a fun time profiling the inimitable Will Stancil for New York Magazine. He's running for the Minnesota state legislature and testing whether the posting-to-praxis pipeline is real. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect

everyone's dunking on this tweet for showing biden missing the target too, but no one is dunking on this tweet for its failure to acknowledge decarbonization's success or failure rests largely outside the USA, in Asia and Africa, and few in American politics have a plan for that

Explaining the seder plate at the Columbia encampment. These students truly embody the meaning of Passover in their provisional seder and their commitment to liberation.

What a barbarous society we live in.

In the 1970s we stopped providing shelter & inpatient asylum beds, so we get encampments.

Then we closed public bathrooms & designed hostile public spaces to deter encampments

Now we fear the 'rough sleeping-public defecation nexus' 🤯🙄
