Das Set von Mars Kumari gestern war auch sehr fein, übrigens. #sound
[Überhaupt: Vier Sets um wohlfeile 25 US$, und es gab recht anregende Mezcalito-Cocktails an der Bar.]

With your support, Fair Fight has greatly advanced the pro-democracy agenda,
pushed back against and mitigated the impacts of voter suppression
and realized important wins and gains for all Americans
— but we can’t lose momentum now.
Your contribution of $20 will make a real difference in protecting the freedom to vote.

The battlefields of interstellar history are now nothing more than a chafing memory. Humanity and genetically modified kangaroos known as Macrodiae, one-time rivals, now stand united under a single banner: the pursuit of interstellar knowledge. Witness the transformation from former enemies to harmonious pioneers poised to change the course of history. #shortstories

I find it ironic that so many of the younger Boomers and older Gen-X ers who are in charge now, "the Man" as it were, the ones calling in the pigs to break up all these peaceful campus protestors on college campuses everywhere - they were the very ones doing *exactly the same thing* 30-50 yrs ago to protest civil rights, the Vietnam War, apartheid in SA, famine in Africa, take your pick.
CSNY (if they can be in the same room together) should write a new version of Ohio.

I need to go back and put together a list of all the things I do differently now compared to when I started trading. It's wild how pretty much nothing is the same.
I just received an email out of the blue from one of the services I used to subscribe to for stock picking and it was like getting a jolt of panic, PTSD like behavior. "OMG what are they saying to buy now????????? earnings were bad??? OMG" -- "oh wait, I don't do this anymore"

No.
Go cover some actual news.

What I’m saying is, turn off the LED sign that says “Style,” and put the people who look up and notice that on a beat that matters right now. i.e. for the love of Lippmann, look around.)

Fwd: Addressing Unfolding Events on Campus

Subject: Addressing Unfolding Events on Campus
To: <PRESIDENT@lists.columbia.ed>
To the Columbia University community:
This morning. I had to make a decision that I hoped would never be necessary. I have always said that the safety of our community was my top priority and that we needed to preserve an environment where everyone could learn in a supportive context. Out of an abundance of concern for the safety of Columbia's campus, I authorized the New York Police Department to begin clearing the encampment from the South Lawn of Morningside campus that had been set up by students in the early hours of Wednesday morming.
I took this extraordinary step because these are extraordinary circumstances. The individuals who established the encampment violated a long list of rules and policies. Through direct conversations and in writing, the university provided multiple notices of these violations. including a written warning at 7:15 p.m. on Wednesday notifying students who remained in the encampment as of 9:00 p.m. that they would face suspension pending investigation. We also tried through a number of channels to engage with their concerns and offered to continue discussions if they agreed to disperse
I regret that all of these attempts to resolve the situation were rejected by the students involved. As a result, NYPD officers are now on campus and the process of clearing the encampment is underway.
Protests have a storied history at Columbia and are an essential component of free speech in America and on our campus. We work hard to balance the rights of students to express political views with the need to protect other students from rhetoric that amouits to harassment and discrimination. We updated our protest policy to allow demonstrations on very short notice and in prime locations in the middle of campus while still allowing students to get to class, and fabs and libraries to operate. The current encampment violates all of the new policies, severely disrupts campus life, and creates a harassing and intimidating environment for many of our students
Columbia is committed to academic freedom and to the opportunity for students and faculty to engage in political expression—within established rules and with respect for the safety of all. The policies we have in place around demonstrations are in place to support both the right to expression and the safety and functioning of our university.
Prior to taking this action. I complied with the requirements of Section 444 of the University Statutes.
This is a challenging moment and these are steps that I deeply regret having to take. I encourage us all to show compassion and remember the values of empathy and respect that draw us together as a Columbia comnminity.
Sincerely,
Minouche Shafik
President, Columbia University in the City of New York
