Ten years in Vegas today 🤍

I assigned a whole book this semester, which a lot of people told me was a bad idea, and guess what? They read it and we had many thoughtful, wonderful discussions.

Excellent piece of Vegas writing from a visitor's perspective and I have literally never said those words as a Vegas local. Also, if there was an award for best first paragraph of the year, I would nominate this.

I liked the season finale of the Morning Show

Which one of you is going to pay for Ryan Lizza’s substack and post screenshots for the rest of us

can’t wait to grade these papers
