I'm a Jew in NYC and I made friends with a Palestinian in Gaza this week. Using Snap Inc. Maps I was able to build a personal connection with a complete stranger and learn from their first-hand experience of whats happening on the ground in real-time. Heres the story + some takeaways

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck

Pathetic “leadership,” if you can even call it that…

A Solow story that I heard as a grad student: at a conference a professor from SMU came up to Solow and introduced himself, “Hi, I’m Robert Smith, Southern Methodist” to which Solow replied “Robert Solow, northern Jew”

Jim Harbaugh says that if, at his funeral, someone's eulogy simply states: "He was a Michigan Man." "That would mean everything to me."

#Michigan fans chant “One More Year” to JJ McCarthy at the Schembechler Hall celebration, as the team returns from Houston. #GoBlue

Michigan, Miami OH, Navy, and Stanford are the only FBS teams to produce both a Superbowl winning QB and a US president. If you add being to the moon, only Michigan and Navy can say all three things. #PresidentsDay

i have some bad news about how the global financial system is managed

On a day of unfathomable grief, with the loss of Danny Kahneman, here's a happy moment. He was so, so, so happy when Richard H Thaler got the Nobel.

I was so lucky to be able to have Danny Kahneman as a best friend and collaborator for decades. He usually ended our conversations with "to be continued..." but I now have to simulate his part which is impossible. My favorite image of us "working".

1/ Had a few minutes before the faculty meeting yesterday so I stopped by the Harvard Yard encampment. An interesting mix: a bunch of people quietly hanging out and listening to a teach-in lecture, amid handmade signs glorifying violence and urging the destruction of Israel

After October 7, Columbia Professor Mohamed Abdou declared: “Yes, I’m with Hamas and Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.” On April 17, Columbia University President Dr. Minouche Shafik told Congress that Professor Mohamed Abdou “will never work at Columbia again.” It’s two weeks later

One word: Antisemitism.

Now that the action is over - I found this inside the UC Irvine encampment today while I was undercover. Printed directly from the Hamas media office. Don’t let them tell you they’re not Pro-Hamas.

I cannot think of a more insensitive and inappropriate display of rage and demagogy than to create this scene outside an exhibit for hundreds of innocent civilians who were mercilessly slaughtered by Hamas at a music festival. How does this help the pro-Palestine cause or Gaza?

Ronnie Fieg - Started as a stock boy - Built KITH into a $100M brand - Became a creative partnerships master - Collabed w/ Adidas, Versace, X-Men, & Coke He just announced a collab with Giorgio Armani & Martin Scorsese... His story is wild. And full of lessons.

Dave Lebryk has long been a consummate apolitical pro at Treasury, diligently managing the govt's checkbook & other responsibilities. His departure under these circumstances is another disgraceful black mark on the Trump Admin. SoT Bessent should be protecting the Treasury.

“long-term Treasury bill yields”

Absolutely despicable fallout from the current “shoot first, ask questions later” approach being taken toward U.S. government agencies and funding. Lives are genuinely at risk.
