apropos of nothing except my addiction to music league, I'm taking suggestions of songs mentioning drinking beer at breakfast, since I thought of three (sunday morning coming down by kris kristofferson, beer for breakfast by the 'mats, and the beer by kimya dawson). seems like a rich vein

asking for a bespoke, individualized beverage is contrary to republican civic virtues. let’s not forget that it was a king who first urged us to β€œhave it your way”

I got the timeline reversed on my grandma’s thing but she still went back while she had three kids in the house and had a career!

Teachers-turned-something-else (attorney, truck salesman). My step grandfather was a civilian worker on an army base after serving in the navy in WWII and the Korean War.

My grandma dropped out of college while she was married, had three kids, divorced, went back to college, and graduated summa!

New Fed paper out on the history of central bank independenceβ€”how it came to be, what it actually means legally, and what presidents, Fed chairs, and Congress really said about it over the decades.

Fair warning: It's a deep dive into historical archives, which means ... it's dense!

These are β€œlow enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

This sounds nice, but the more I think about it the more I think it ignores trade offs and public trust at a fundamental level. It implies that passing policy that we think is not beneficial (but not harmful) 1) doesn’t affect the appetite for/budget of political capital for other, better policies.
