The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

"There will be no safe spaces on this campus! You will hear things that upset and offend!"

"Finally! It is past time that we as a people should be honest about the genocide in--"

"Please wait here while I call security to have you removed."

I don’t think ChatGPT can teach college courses effectively, but I am confident it could write articles like this just fine.

I’m in a room where a whole ass faculty member said “Chat GPT 5 would be able to write a better NSF proposal than me” and… well…

My inside thoughts got the best of me BC I said loud as fuck “that’s unfortunate, because there’s not a machine on earth that writes better than me.”

LETTER FROM THE EDITORS: IU fires student media director after he refused to censor the IDS Indiana University directed the IDS to stop printing news.

This headline 🤣🤣🤣

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The new Supreme Court term starts today, meaning that -- in a novel twist -- the justices will hear oral arguments in some cases before they issue rulings that actually explain what they are doing.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers ‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply can’t feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

It is so cool that they made a TV adaption of the real stories! (The radio ones).

Anyone/anything from the Barbie-verse? Or just Barbie?

In late grade school I was a tree. Used a refrigerator box, a huge green garbage bag, leaf colored construction paper and a brown sleeve shirt. I don't remember if we spray painted the box or used brown crepe paper.

Well, if it isn't jumped on early, it certainly will end up all integrated with no disentanglement - and I'm guessing those of use who just want to have the lights on at home will be screwed.

Is there a way to have "types" of data centers? If ones that were "LLM, etc... intensive" above a certain percent of their usage were put on a brownout list, would there be a demand for a service offering more traditional data center things?

I'm pondering the benefits of a state law cutting off power to mega-using data centers first before brown-outs can occur for anyone else in times of extreme usage.

The image features two logos: the Wizards of the Coast logo in rainbow gradient colors on the left, and the Trans Lifeline logo in white on the right. Large bold text in the center reads: “Support Trans Lifeline.” Below, smaller text says “Tune in Oct 4” next to the Twitch logo.

@amartinezla.bsky.social I was kind of hoping that pocket rescissions and POTUS unilaterally cutting agencies would have come up in the interview this morning with Rep. Dusty Johnson. Feels more than a little relevant to "trust"...
