The only time I formally got in trouble for a tweet in 10 years at ABC/ESPN/Disney for something about Michael Avenatti (I think they worried that he was actually crazy enough to sue me) but I had a lot of bangers so I forget which one.

Read my long-form writing at https://t.co/8hgA4nNS2A.@NateSilver538 2 things: 1) on infra side, they quietly staffed up and contracted out a lot. I don’t have hard numbers but rumor mill is total number of bodies doing eng work is higher now than before 2) biggest cuts were in sales and trust and safety. ad sales are still in toilet
And of course, along the way, the original motivation for these protests will be lost entirely, as partisans and culture warriors co-opt these campus protests and turn them into a vehicle for their own personal agenda, or worse, the malicious agenda of a hostile outside actor.
So when the same people who were recently working to force universities to allow white supremacists to speak on campuses where they weren’t wanted are now claiming to care about antisemitism, it’s probably worth thinking twice about how sincere they really are.
Just like we’ve seen the emergence of so-called war/conflict influencers, we are once again seeing the rise of the campus speech war influencer, and once you let those people take over, they’ll steer things towards the extremes because that’s where the attention they seek is.
The stories you hear in the media will be the most extreme examples that can be found, and nearly all of them will be fundamentally misrepresented based on the biases of the person telling the story. This will fuel a cycle of escalation that few people on either side want.
@NateSilver538 Surprised there are no Mormon tie-in suggestions: Deacons, Elders, Brothers, Missionaries, etc. None of those are great (Deacons isn't terrible, but sounds very college-y), but I'm still surprised nothing has been pitched.

May I also suggest a private liberal arts school that has good financial aid and a strong reputation but not SO huge a reputation that people auto-click on any news about a campus controversy

@sidsomanii @NateSilver538 The University of Chicago seems like it's on a roll.
You should discount somewhat the probabilities that things you would like to be true, are true, and increase somewhat the probabilities that things you would not like to be true, are true.
I stand by my liberal arts college education (though it wasn’t an Ivy)

@NateSilver538 This underrated how much competitive employment wants the Ivys to have status because hiring is hard and undervalued. Anything that lets you triage plausible applicants is greatly valued, even if it excludes good prospects.
