Greetings from Denver, CO, where I am still recovering from my sister’s wedding this past weekend. A future post is forthcoming about all the details of how I made and flew the wedding cake(s) to Denver from NYC, but for now, please enjoy this visual of the cutting cake, which was the smaller cake they used for photos, etc.: Now that I’m catching a moment to breathe, today I give you recipes for two different chicken stocks that will keep your bones warm from now through next spring, in honor of my favorite season (soup) and eating holiday (Thanksgiving).

Welcome back to the Hoop Vision Weekly! It was a long week of people arguing about how good or bad Carleton is relative to NCAA teams in our YouTube comment section. The video — now our second most-viewed on the channel — is quickly approaching the Baylor no-middle breakdown for the top spot. But today’s newsletter is again NBA playoffs themed. Last week, we focused on the Raptors and Celtics. Now we switch over to the Western Conference.

Here’s a couple updates for the really hardcore music data nerds. If you didn’t know, we post all our reviews on the official White Crate website. Not only can you go back in time and see all our old reviews but also! Every post now features “Related” content at the bottom so you can easily see if we’ve reviewed the artist before or any associated acts and releases. Clicking the tag on a post will surface all the other music in that genre, so now it’s a lot easier to find all of the indie pop, psychedelic, or beats from the Bay.

Once again, I come to you with sadness as events in Israel and The Palestinian Territories feel uncertain and heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all the humans suffering, the Israeli and the Palestinian civilians who have, are currently, and will continue to experience unimaginable harm. It also goes without saying that this is another wound on the very fragile sense of security that we and our children all maintain, but here we are again.

I appreciate Dorian Abbot inviting the MIT Free Speech Alliance, of which I serve as Executive Director, to contribute a writeup of our September conference, given that our organization’s founding owes itself directly to Professor Abbot’s disinvitation from delivering a prestigious MIT lecture in 2021. I was on the staff of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression at the time, without the slightest inkling as I watched that drama unfold that it had implications for my own career trajectory.

The World As I See It By Ty Ross The World As I See It is a newsletter that reflects on how the past and present not only affect our perspective, and perception – but emotional and mental health. How I reconcile and relate the news of the day with real life experiences. ncG1vNJzZmirpZfAta3CpGWcp51kjbW0xLCmq6SUlsCqv8SeoK0%3D

It’s a known fact that to achieve anything significant in life, you have to be ambitious. However, what people often dont talk about is what kind of ambitious. I’ve found it useful to categorize ambition into two types: General and Specific I want to be great is an example of general ambition. It doesn’t mention great at what. Just great. What does great mean then? If you uncover this desire further, it is more likely that it is related to wealth, fame or power.
