I had a coworker say this to me also in 2016. I just looked at him and blinked. Then I asked him how many really wealthy people he knew who were satisfied with the wealth they had.

Insert obligatory "I miss Liberty Lunch" reply here (b/c I very much do!). Also Austin in the 90s generally (and late 80s if I'm being honest). Also the Big Boys played at my high school ❤️. We didn't know how good we had it.

Sparks rules. I'm a late convert, thanks to the "Sparks Brothers" documentary and a 2022 show at Disney Hall in LA. I got emotional seeing how much they love what they do

Serious question, tho--why do we believe that the (eventually) released files will be complete and untampered? How can that be assured in any way?

As a college student, I ran into Mr. Reeve in Williamstown in 1986, just in a regular way, doing normal stuff around town during the summer. He was still Super, even doing ordinary things, even without the flying effects. A very Super presence (but also very Clark Kent).

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

Wow. Just wow.

From Ellis Island to Alcatraz, oof. Once a hopeful beacon of freedom, now a symbol of fear. We were friendly giants on the world stage, now cowards who hide behind walls. Maybe we can still restore our promise, but it's not looking good.

Proud of my alma mater for standing up for academic freedom. It likely won't be without consequences but you have to stand for something, even (and especially) in difficult times.
