@SpursCulture This is neat if you call it out and you’re right, but saying this before every game until you’re right is just lazy. It’d be like a baseball player pointing yard before every at bat.
A bill has been introduced in the Senate, the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act of 2023, that would force big investors to sell off all the single-family homes they own over 10 years, and eventually ban hedge funds from owning any single-family homes entirely.
America’s top universities should abandon their long misadventure into politics, retrain their gaze on their core strengths and rebuild their reputations as centers of research and learning.
My take:
I don’t get these morons who somehow justify paying 40% more to live in California and in exchange, they only get +200% more days where they can go outside.
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is:
“the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group”
The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership.
Don’t take my word for it.
You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am.
They must all resign in disgrace.
If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour.
Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world?
Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context.
To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest.
On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing.
It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate.
If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
@SpursCulture Can we normalize this to something like per 100 possessions to account for how different the game was 21 years ago? It would be a more fair comparison.
The world of entrepreneurship is ruled by numbers, and that’s mostly a good thing. Metrics are how you cut through the wishful thinking and empty vision, and get to the truth of what’s working and what isn’t. Without knowing conversion, engagement, retention, acquisition cost, lifetime value, etc. the whole system falls apart. There’s a reason engineers like to say that “what gets measured, gets fixed.”
But it’s easy to forget that there’s a lot that numbers can’t measure. If you’re in this business because of the intellectual challenge, the flexibility, and the ability to spend your time with smart, creative people—how do you quantify that? And if you value the things that really matter, like a treasured relationship, you can’t count, track, or graph that.
So let this be a quick reminder: just because you don’t have a metric for something doesn’t mean it’s unimportant. In fact, it’s often just the opposite.
