Very happy to discover that audio of the flash fiction reading I co-curated last fall at UPenn’s Kelly Writers House is now online. Here’s the ~4-minute recording of me reading two micros — “Gathering” & “Ghost Story”

Fact check: true
It's high school or undergrad econ, well within the grasp of one with a bachelor's degree in economics from UPenn's Wharton School. Consumers are worse off, producers and the gov't are better off. There's deadweight loss, let's call it a trump. www.economicshelp.org/blog/glossar...

Short and Sweet from UPenn’s @aaup.org chapter on the Trump/Rufo “Higher Ed Compact.”

All of these issues were explored in depth when Trump was registered as a student at UPenn's Warton School of Business. Too bad he put his daily priority on golf instead of attending class. Had he done otherwise, he might understand the core principles of economics. His tariffs proves he doesn't.

what does it take to win a performative male contest? multiple labubu keychains, tampons, and having a passing knowledge of what an OB-GYN does.

The fucking thing has over 25,000 signatures after a fucking day and after two and a half months the one I was boosting demanding respect for Lia Thomas and pushing back against UPenn's trans sports ban is still barely over 100.

The $75-million Student Performing Arts Center is now above ground at 33rd & Woodlands Walk on UPenn's campus (photo is from a few months back). This will feature a 300-seat theater, rehearsal space, and more, bringing many performance arts groups under one roof. Thoughts?

While I was on a dig in Amman in 1987, my dig director, UPenn's Pat McGovern, had to return a car to a rental agency near the airport. The car was a manual transmission and nobody in our crew knew how to drive one except him—and me. So I got the task of following him in this car to the airport.

Economics 101 - the use of tariffs to control trade must also consider the ramifications and expected retaliations. Trump got a degree from UPenn's Wharton School of Economics? Doesn't seem like he took many notes in 101.

"Frankly, I find it shocking, and totally unethical," said Kevin Werbach, a digital-assets expert at Trump's alma mater, the UPenn's Wharton School, who once served on Barack Obama's presidential transition team.
