Yesterday, I traveled to Fletcher, Arden, Marion, & Spruce Pine cities in North Carolina. I went to local shelters to speak with survivors & met with some of our key private sector partners who continue to bring vital commodities to these communities.

What is the Harris/Walz plan to end Ralph Lauren’s Olympic reign of tyranny because we cannot be the host nation in those dated looks.

Currently the hardest part of having two little kids is if I skip laundry/dishes for one day, it turns into days of being behind 😭

The newsletter has been decidedly un-COVID focused for the last several months, but the questions had accumulated. Here's a rundown of some answers! parentdata.org/p/covid-19-wh…

Need to pull some people together, but can’t decide whether to have a roundtable, a sit-down, a stand-up, a convening, a visioning process, a brainstorm, strategy session, a workshop, an input gathering, a listening session, a stakeholder meeting, or a charrette.

HBOMax functions like there’s somebody who lives inside the app who has to go into the back to access the archives for you

Combine an early & synchronized RSV season with an overwhelmed and broken health care system, plus reduced levels of normal RSV control measures like surface cleaning and you have a recipe for disaster. IMO, this is what’s actually happening.

I’m shocked it wasn’t a great idea to host the World Cup in a 95 degree slave-state where “modest dressing” is enforced and alcohol banned by the law.

Your local public radio station could do a lot more good with your $8 a month than a billionaire.

Have you ever wondered whether higher education can be an important driver of growth in developing countries? My job market paper tries to answer this question by looking at a national expansion of higher ed in Vietnam. Over 100 new universities were opened during 2006-2013!

FACT: Before Kanye West was "the face of Anti-Semitism," he was one of the hip-hop faces of misogynoir, anti-Blackness, Trumpism, and slavery-denial. And y'all still gave him contracts, documentaries, endorsements, clothing deals, and millions that became billions. Shame.

The correct amount of garlic to use is twice what the recipe calls for, unless the cookbook was published before 1990, in which case it’s 3-4x.
