The irony: The crypto industry was generally very pro Trump, but now the Clarity Act that would codify and legalize much of what they do can't pass, because of fights over whether government officials (like Trump) should be able to profit from crypto

It says a lot about which academic stories get media coverage that multiple non-academics I know asked me about the Jason Arday story, but no one I know outside of the academy had heard about the University of Minnesota paying $250,000 for rescinding a job offer to Raz Segal due to donor pressure.
Ketan Joshi@ketanjoshi.co · 12h agoMan, I only just caught with this story. What a tragic ending. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/afdfd24...
