Universities
Almost half of them may be gone within a decade.
Good riddance. This was a bubble waiting to be popped, and the pandemic was the pin.
George Floyd
Peter Thiel
A long but interesting article on how he’s attempting to transform society in an actual useful direction.
Climate Versus Covid Models
Cloudy with a chance of politics.
More than a chance.
Sarah Parcak
I follow her on Twitter, for her occasional bitching about colonialism in space, but this is beyond the pale. It is incitement to destruction.
California Democrats

Opening Schools
The CDC recommendations are insane.
Just get rid of the CDC, and replace it with an organization actually trying to control disease.
Journalists
…are not heroes.

Higher Ed
Some good ideas about how to reform colleges and universities going forward. It’s a shame that it took all this economic destruction to make it happen, but it will be a good outcome.
