It argues for betting against misreads when you see them. Look for crazy favorites and speculate a bit on upsets. Betting on Truman on Kalshi in ‘48 would’ve scored big!
Trying out the new St George Ferry line from Bay Ridge at the Owl’s Head Pier over to Staten Island, World Financial Center, and Midtown West. Expecting great views of the Starue of Liberty and lower Manhattan. With the 10-pack it’s $2.90 a ride.
Wear your helmets folks. And avoid busy streets with bike lanes right next to the sidewalk like on Smith St in Carroll Gardens. #bikesafety #helmets #grateful 🙏🚴♂️🧠

At the DMV. Waiting for LR035 to come in like it’s bingo night.
So I just invented a new map projection that shows just HOW BIG THE US IS FOR REAL. Let me know when I win a Nobel Prize for this.
Wrapping it up with pastries from the comfort of our couch. #nycmarathon
Caught the Professional Men in the #nycmarathon crossing 23rd St on 4th Ave in Brooklyn, New York.
I just watched Spy Kids 3: Game Over with my son. This movie has everything. Ricardo Montalban as cyberaugmented Grandpa, Sly Stallone as the Toymaker and the three anthropomorphized voices in his head, Salma Hayek in pigtails, George Clooney as President, and a cameo from Frodo as “The Guy”.
Back from Chicago for a quick and successful trip. The future of Higher Ed is complex, but there is genuine optimism, especially among those leaning in to expanding access leveraging emerging tools responsibly. Be on the lookout for more of this w Trending in Higher Ed launching soon this Fall!

Back from an amazing #SXSWEDU this week. The future can seem scary unless you let it hold your hand.
Really enjoyed talking to Dr. Kenneth Carter from Emory's new Center for Public Scholarship and Engagement. It's been amazing to see the center grow from an idea to an active program bridging academic scholarship and public engagement. Full episode: trendingineducation.com/2025/02/enga...
