This is crazy

Until its 1974-1975 renovation, fans could exit Yankee Stadium via the field.

Valerie Sperling, professor of political science at Clark University, says that if #Trump tries to make concessions on #Ukraine's behalf that #Zelensky would refuse, #Putin can spin it as showing the Ukrainian president as uncooperative. #peace #summit 1/2

"Putin will probably come out ahead from this #summit no matter what happens there," Valerie Sperling, professor of political science at Clark University tells Newsweek. newsweek.com/alaska-putin-s… 2/2 #TrumpPutinSummit #peace #RussiaUSSummit #Trump #UkraineRussiaWar

Congratulations to Clark University's Jie Park, professor of education, and Michael Bamberg, professor of psychology, for their The Fulbright Program Awards! #Poland #SouthKorea clarku.edu/news/2025/08/1…

.Clark University Professor Michael Butler: "The opacity of the Anchorage summit, culminating in vague pronouncements of 'success' by both presidents in its aftermath, are hallmarks of a transactional diplomacy... that is increasingly predominant in int'l politics today." 1/3

Prof. Butler: "This is a mode of diplomacy which Trump favors, but which Putin has clearly mastered... the fact that it happened at all – not to mention on U.S. soil w/o others present, + replete with smiling photos of the 2 leaders hand in hand, is a clear 'win' for Putin." 2/3

Butler: "Regardless of whatever covert 'deals' may have been struck, the summit amounts to the rehabilitation of an indicted war criminal who has personally ordered + overseen systematic campaigns of mass atrocities not only in Ukraine but also Syria, Georgia, and Chechnya." 3/3

ouch!

Clark U. Prof. Michael Butler: "While bringing along Europe’s heavy hitters likely reduces the odds of another ambush, it also flies in the face of Trump’s preferred mode of transactional diplomacy – thereby representing something of a gamble on the Ukrainian leader’s part." 1/2

"Today’s White House #summit... is as much a referendum on the fragile partnership between the U.S. and its traditional allies in Europe as it is a turning point in the Russia-Ukraine war," said Clark University Prof. Michael Butler. 2/2 #ZelenskyinDc #Trump #UkraineRussiaWar

I have goosebumps

.Clark University Professor: "While there are some concrete proposals – a security guarantee, as well as a 'land swap' – on the table, Trump’s legendary intemperance + on-again, off-again dynamic with Europe could easily take the summit sideways." #ZelenskyinDc #RussiaUkraineWar

Tom Murphy, a prof in Clark University's School of #Business, thinks Cracker Barrel should’ve retained the barrel within their new logo "since it connects to the brand origin + gives meaning to the brand name" + added a slogan like "Great Meals Never Go Out of Style." #rebrand

This is awesome.
