What do you think about Purdue's efforts to bring down the cost of higher learning? I don't see enough reporting on how they have been able to keep tuition from rising without affecting their rankings for education.

Didn't look at all the comments, but this is about mamdani being a normal citizen sitting in coach. Not some rich fuck trying to decide how the plebes should be ruled.

Fun fact: there are 82 players on rosters right now that were born AFTER LeBron James made his NBA debut on Oct 29, 2003.

I've been reading CBS's daily latest on the shutdown. The last couple weeks I feel it's really starting to slowly to Republicans. The Weiss effect? I'm back to cnn until I hit a paywall again.

A lot of talk about AI being transformative, and it will be. But so was the Internet and we got the dot.com bubble.

AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubblesβ€”and applied their test.

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

Free speech foundation ranks IU as worst public college Indiana University sank to near the bottom of The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression College Free Speech Rankings this year.

I know #IU football is really fun (for the first time in my adult life) and it's really easy to feel good about IU. I am begging alumni to get involved and help make a difference in what is happening there.

#IU is now the worst-ranked public univesity in the nation for freedom of speech.

Why don't more of these aging stars do similar. How much more can a championship bring Durant in endorsements? Is he betting on himself?

One of the best signs so far and those huddled masses that we're fighting for.

Jewish Studies director replacement β€˜unprecedented,’ students and faculty say Dean Rick Van Kooten later held a nomination process one faculty member called β€œsymbolic.”

Stories like this are why the IDS is important and why Pam Whitless is attacking them.

Purdue student journalists deliver special 'solidarity' newspaper to IU Bloomington campus The special edition blasted across town features columns from IDS and Exponent editors, alongside QR codes to support both student papers.

Great shaming from Purdue to their rival on homecoming weekend.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

We do this with other countries we do foreign military sales with for training. We have this with other countries. They're still using f-15s. This is not uncommon or crazy.

How does a 100% tariff on movies work? Does the distributor pay a tariff equal to distribution rights? I assume if this was the case, revenue sharing becomes more popular. Does Netflix have to pay again for rights?

I want to know how many times a Democrat has been called a communist on Fox news and what percentage of Fox news stories were positive.
