The funny thing about introverts is once they feel comfortable with you, they can be the funniest, most enjoyable people to be around. It’s like a secret they feel comfortable sharing with you. Except the secret is their personality.

I’m an introvert.

I’m not shy. I am a thinker. I’m an observer. I’m not stuck up. I’m not anti-social. I treasure my solitude. I’m not a fan of small talk. I prefer a few close friends. I am reserved, until I’m not. I appreciate true connection. If we connect, you matter to me.

Asher! 🔥 #brewha

Stop insulting American Jews by telling us how to vote. Our political leaders should run on their policies, rather than resorting to stereotypes and implying dual loyalty. For more on this trope: antisemitism.adl.org/disloyalty/

So tonight I made the mistake of watching The Platform on Netflix. All I could think about was the game theory equilibrium given that it’s a repeated sequential game with random ordering. For an added twist, players also enter and exit (die). Someone needs to write the paper.

Now it all makes sense! Prof. Nathan Balke, 2007 Dedman Family Distinguished Prof and 2x former dept chair, has agreed to serve as Dean ad interim of Dedman College effective June 1, 2024, until a permanent dean has been named.

Congrats, Nathan! And thank you from SMU Dedman College!

I'd tag them all but Twitter seems broken.
