CU signs $2M OpenAI deal for ChatGPT access Students and faculty will gain access to ChatGPT Edu starting in March under a three-year deal.

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity

Zohran genuinely loves the people of his city and wants the best for them. It’s astonishing how much we’ve all been starved of that by our leaders.

I can’t imagine the river ever being safe. How awful.

So next fall (as they did on September 25th of this year) when the park board is presented with 18+ phone location data at our rinks, know that it’s not only flawed because kids skate and some of us leave phones at home intentionally. But also because we were going through it this winter.

I didn’t get out on a Minneapolis rink once 😭

Still from right wing influencer dipshit Jake Lang kicking down the "Prosecute ICE" ice sculpture at the state Capitol, framed so you just see him and the ice letters CUTE. Overlaid text makes it say "Pardon me, Valentine, but you're so CUTE... it's a felony!"

Happy Valentine's Day

Despite Increased Profits, Private Prison Companies Want to Cage Even More People CoreCivic and GEO Group’s investors expressed frustration that ICE’s record immigration detention numbers aren’t high enough.

CoreCivic’s revenue from contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) skyrocketed in 2025, but some participants on today’s quarterly earnings call expressed concerns that ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped. — @elizabethweill.bsky.social

Hi attorneys! Want to not be able to get to sleep tonight? Here's Judge Rakoff (probably the single most well-respected judge in SDNY) saying that the use of AI destroys both attorney-client privilege and work-product privilege.

Civil war: bad for America, great for Meta 😊

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.

I thought you were referring to the university

If I was a Republican wanting to nibble away at women voting, I sure wouldn't start with "married women who take their husband's name and don't have passports."

You can ignore the doomers. You're doing great work.

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

The business center happily wheeled out an auxiliary cart for me and helped me load my Subaru.

end qualified immunity and make cops carry personal liability insurance

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias Yes, a few months ago Musharbash said that I support legalized sports betting which isn’t true. I said I do not support legalized sports betting. I wrote a post that is not about sports betting that has a sponsored polymarket embed. Musharbash then did whatever this is. Quote Basel Musharbash @musharbash_b · 19h A few months ago, I wrote that Matthew Yglesias supports legalizing sports betting. He vehemently denied this at the time, and the entire Abundance crowd came after me. Today, Yglesias admitted his blog is sponsored by Polymarket.

I don't support it, rather - it supports me

Veep was understated

ICE still all over Shakopee today.

That's one where I went to the pages of the 5 organizations in that umbrella and I still couldn't find entry points for someone needing help with rent.

My number one advice right now is to call the COPAL navigator's hotline which the groups above are closely aligned with.

Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

Thank you! Bookmarking for later!

LOL, the agency that came up with the missing puppy ad is probably laying super low right now

Another way to phrase this is, “ICE shot someone and got caught lying about it.”

How do we not have a restaurant or boutique called Les villes jumelles??

Look, ICE isn’t leaving, it’s a political stunt that news media is helping spread, we all know this.

But I will take this headline all day long lol

Occupation was brutal, lawless, a massive waste of resources—plus it blew up the US attorneys office, the mechanism by which you hold fraudsters accountable. So you can bet we'll memory hole that MN Republicans cheered it on, so they can quickly return to being fraud warriors.

This is a huge victory. DHS must allow detainees a call to either family or a lawyer within one hour of arriving at Whipple, and then may not transfer them out of Minnesota for 72 hours.

I’m crying. So happy and relieved. We can help our clients before it’s too late. More people can be helped.

This was the attack where they subsequently threw tear gas into a family's car, causing a baby to stop breathing, they blamed the family for it.
