i spent a literal decade being told that i was overreacting and that no way no how Roe was going to be overturned.

I'm getting the same reaction when I tell people that Obergefell v. Hodges (same sex marriage case) will be overturned sooner rather than later.

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

In less than a year we've seen the entire US healthcare system get shot in the face, all of scientific research set on fire, the education system mangled, renewable energy destroyed, trans genocide become legal, etc.

*Each* of these things took a few months to destroy and will take decades to fix.

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

I think at some point people have to grapple with the fact that they want all universities and colleges to be hit. They are just starting with the ivies because they can extort them for money and everyone knows they exists. You can’t really extort a CC and they know they’ll get hit anyways, too.

Somehow they’ve never learned bath

Gizmo. In a bathtub. Very wet. And unhappy about it.

Same. It looks like Bluesky is truncating the link which is why it isn’t working. Not sure why it isn’t truncating the copied version

This week, I resigned from my position as Director of IT/Tech at an org I truly believed in. I wanted us to stop using Generative AI and was told no.

This thread will explain my decision and why I believe this is a true crisis. I hope ya see this and if you want to chat, + or -, lets do it 1/

Your chefs were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

But seriously these look delicious.

"You can't take the sky from me" emblazoned on a car made by the company of a dude that literally is taking away the sky (via Starlink).

Also like they didn’t even go into their final science orbit bc of the engine.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Burned Through $21.7 Billion of Taxpayer Cash A report added up all the costs associated with DOGE and found it wasted billions by paying employees not to work, cancelling projects and more.

How is this humanly possible in just a couple of months...

Pay it back, fElon.

Are there any other kind?

Cheyenne to host data center using more electricity than all state homes A massive AI data center proposed near Cheyenne, Wyoming, would use more electricity than all homes in the state combined. Mayor Patrick Collins calls it a

Honestly what is even the point of individual effort on climate anymore? I can conserve all I want but these fuckwads come in and open an AI (that nobody needs) data center that will use more power than the entire state put together.

Exactly

Genuine curiosity does inspire the public. I would not use either of those words to describe his behavior

I am begging journalists to stop platforming him. These objects are SO EXCITING and there are people doing really good science on them and he is not one of them.

Literally can’t hear or read corporation for public broadcasting without finish it with viewers like you

It's a weird day for those of us who were only allowed to watch PBS as kids.

"Funding for this program was made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and by annual financial support from viewers like you" <---I bet you hear the exact cadence of your vintage

Ok so Love Island is basically just a reboot of Paradise Hotel right?

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

Louder! Louder!
