I think I got a pity win for my cancer, would have been 2020? Anyway, I appreciate the kind words.

Aw, thanks man! I nominate edjr if he hasn't been. I also second RHR and BostonLager/BiffTannen.

I see that this thread is conveying the I've come to expect here.

Meh, I doubt she'll leave. She has been at MIT less than a year and in that time has been somewhat receptive to improving free speech. I don't feel strongly that she should leave, pending the info in this tweet and if it actually turns into something useful. Also, MIT's "brand" is to be the best technical school in the world. Harvard's is to be the most prestigious. Prestige has taken a much bigger hit over this.

That's funny, because Harvard ranks dead last in FIRE's analysis of free speech at colleges, with the only "abysmal" label. https://rankings.thefire.org/rank Before seeing this tweet, I planned to post the FIRE link anyway. This lack of freedom is the main reason that Gay needed to go. As much as it does my heart good to see Harvard cement it's place as the second best institution in Cambridge, the world is a better place if Harvard is not graduating a bunch of Leftist echo chamber automatons.

I'll take Rose as an alternate. Surprised he wasn't drafted.

Same. I enjoy chatting with @The Real timschochet. Also, @Dozer FBGseems to mostly bring links/data to updates, so I appreciate that as well. I guess I don't like this place being a complete echo chamber. I enjoy challenging my positions by debating the folks on the other side.

$75 sent to @edjrfor this tourney + the $25 I owe WW for that goofball parent/kid tourney we did. Hey Ed, if I can send you Paypal I could send the remaining $450 for the year. I have some money sitting in there so I can send it for no fees.

Cam Davis Also I'm golfing like poo. @patweisers44

Just trying to save you embarrassment in front of your transgender friends.

I noticed that too. Hey @The Real timschochet, here is a useful mnemonic device I use to keep it straight, I probably learned it here. You will hate it, but it works. Ready? Replace "transgender" with "pretend." Thus a "transgender boy" is a "pretend boy" meaning a biological girl. And vice versa. So as TNG pointed out, you wanted to use the "pretend girl" (transgender girl) phrase. HTH.

Wouldn't surprise me. Heading into this season I was caught up in the hype and the chance for the Cards to draft him. But as I watched him over the season, I was increasingly underwhelmed. Looks like just another mediocre USC QB who was boosted by the talent around him. Hard pass.

Pretty ballsy for two current students to write that. That being said... what the heck is a "concentrator" anyway? Can we not say "major" anymore? And who cares what dorm you live in?

Interesting, thanks for the rec. Also, when I looked it up on Amazon, I got a lot of recommendations for Colin Falconer novels. Anyone read any of his books? I may give "Silk Road" a try.

I was hoping to make some progress today. I'm golfing tomorrow afternoon with my son, after going to lunch with him. Then out for the evening. I'll leave a list with somebody who has already picked if I leave before the 1-2 turn.

Update! I drank too much and fell asleep watching TV.

Nice. What did the leper say to the prostitute? Keep the tip.

Staying in. Wife got a Tomahawk steak we're going to share, slow cooking on the pellet grill. One of the great things about being out west is that we can watch the ball drop in NYC at 10pm our time and go to sleep. We already had sexy time this morning, but the wife just walked out after showering wearing a hot sweater/skirt/boots combo, so who knows.

Pillars of the Earth is one of my favorite books of all time; one of the few I've read more than once. We have World Without End and I THINK I read it, but I'm not sure. We also have his Century trilogy which my wife read but I haven't; it's set in the early 1900s I believe. Maybe I'll put World Without End in my queue.

I read those, they were entertaining. I'm finishing up "Gleanings," which is a bunch of short stories set in the Scythe world, some of which give the back story on characters from the trilogy.

Good article, thanks. There have been many such groups being formed at campuses across the country, and they will only grow given what happened with pro-Palestinian harassment. I belong to a similar alumni one for MIT. Still, this is a big step for Harvard, which has been ranked dead last in free speech by FIRE.
