The first time I saw this Tara Lipinski commercial during these Olympics I truly *never* would have guessed what her monologue was selling before it gets revealed.
An ad for making bulk purchases of Hillbilly Elegy
It's scary how smart the algorithms are getting. We recently bought a fire pit and now they're showing me ads for bulk buys of J. D. Vance's book.

I'm sorry, I'm still talking about the fact that Larry Summers only stopped emailing with Jeffrey Epstein because *he got arrested*. Like there was truly no line in the sand for Summers.

Arriving at the poetry reading wearing chain mail made of interlocked mini pretzels, a helmet hollowed out of olive ciabatta, and wielding a rosemary and sea salt encrusted baguette like a legendary sword. Telling the people in attendance to address me as “Sir Bread” or they will be dispatched.
I am delighted to share that Nobel laureates Esther Duflo and Abhijit Banerjee will join our Department of Economics @econ.uzh.ch at the University of Zurich on July 1, 2026, as Lemann Foundation Professors of Economics.

Research output after tenure drops off a cliff for business, economics, sociology, and other non-lab fields.
But it remains high post-tenure in lab-based fields such as chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering.
