The anti-semitism and universities’ failure to deal with it is real. Don’t blame the messenger.

Cal alum. Cal Rugby alum. Son of Cal alum. Husband of Cal alum. Just a realist. We underinvest in leadership at Cal and that leads to a culture that generates mediocrity.

Hamas is not a response to occupation; it is a perverted form of occupation itself. Palestinians thus face two battles for liberation.

He provided very flimsy explanations to employees according to Insider. Nothing that should have led to dismissal of a CEO and certainly not while attempting to close a stock sale to generate liquidity for those same employees!

Key thread 🧵
1/ For years, Netanyahu told Israelis that it is possible to have peace with Arab countries without resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This illusion - that Israel can have peace without the Palestinians - dissolved on that Black Saturday on Oct 7. 🧶

“exact copy of ideas one finds in the 1970s-1980s Soviet antizionist propaganda”
Yes, Stalinist propaganda role in this long ignored/underestimated.
“I’m Jewish too & there ain’t nothing more antisemitic than Zionism” is what we finally hear as the reason for tearing down the posters.
One can’t repeat this enough: the hard left is brainwashed to believe a wild set or ideas about Zionism which have nothing to do with real

We don’t have the operating agreement so we don’t know if MSFT and Vinod Khosla would have surrendered any such obligations but it seems highly improbable.

Terror is a doctrine of fighting, used by groups that lack public support. Atrocities are intended to command intention & invite indiscriminate reactions - leading to death on the terrorists' side but radicalizing their public.
Lives are abstractions, to be erased for the cause.

Cal football hasn't had consistent, repeated success in well over a decade.
Just two years of 7+ wins would send Cal fans intergalactic.
I feel like we always find a way to lose in the most Cal way possible when Memorial is the ~most~ packed.

Skid Row has been a constant element of American urban life for as long as we have had cities but of course blame San Francisco.
Just arrived to San Francisco and walking through the Tenderloin to my AirBnB. This is one of the most depressing places I've seen. So many drugged out people standing up while fully bent over with their head to the ground, taking what appears to be fentanyl. Tents everywhere,

In this case interesting Ackman was backing behavioral economics - the single most important (tho not most powerful imho) challenge to longstanding hegemony of rational choice in social sciences.
People in academia already know this, but for those unfamiliar: Bill in this post provides a very transparent account of how billionaires buy influence through donations at elite private universities. Meanwhile, they get out of paying taxes and public education suffers.

The for profit was organized as an LLC. Technically you can eliminate fiduciary obligations in an LLC by agreement, but this is rare and highly unlikely here.

If member managed they owe each other fiduciary duties; if manager managed the manager is a fiduciary. The non profit appears to be in “control” as either manager or majority owner. Did MSFT say here’s $10 billion and, oh btw, don’t worry about acting carefully with it?

Remembering Ernesto Che Guevara, 56 years after his death (9/10/1967).

Many people misunderstand structure of OpenAI. There is more alignment between the for profit and nonprofit entities than suggested by critics. The nonprofit gets all revenue above the profit cap. It’s simply a revenue sharing model.
Much has been said about

's corp structure. Many European companies, Ikea, Bosch, Novo Nordisk Foundation, Bertelsmann Foundation, Carlsberg Foundation etc have similar relationships between for profits and non-profits. Nothing wrong with the best of both worlds. Just
