If Congress doesn’t fix the GENIUS Act, billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos could launch stablecoins that track your purchases, exploit your data, and squeeze out competitors.
These billionaires will come begging for a taxpayer bailout when it inevitably blows up.

Next week, we’re learning about mis/disinformation in my summer writing course. The Star Wars fan in me is seriously considering assigning Mon Mothma’s speech from Andor for the Canvas discussion.

Working in higher ed right now is stressful, so it’s important to find little things that can provide a good laugh. For instance, while walking to my first class, I overheard a student say on the phone, “Yeah it was a fun party, but then she puked all over my Crocs.”
