Let's not lose sight of the second-order effects of data breaches.

Would you be willing to answer the Census, ACS or CPS (assuming they continue) if you knew your de-anonymized answers could be accessed by a Nazi-saluting oligarch and a 19-year old tech-bro wannabe whose Insta handle is Bigballs?

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

Consider the horrors interrupted. Until you try to pet the belly. Then it’s a different kind of horrors.

Big fan of things like this that make students’ articulation/realization of their skills/experience unavoidable. The faculty role is massive; big props to everyone involved here!

Alright this looks really fascinating and I’m definitely giving it a look when it’s out!

This is wild and also not surprising from where I sit and all the conversations I have with parents who also have no earthly idea what college costs. What would you all want to tell tenth graders about what it costs?

If you think you saw me outside the stadium with George Clooney and a black duffle bag last night, no you didn’t.

“Greatest scandal of any college or university in history” huh? Ever hear of Penn States athletics programs?

Just to clarify:

And they did.

Just absolutely shit news all around.
