WHAT PROFESSORS CAN SAY Texas A&M is limiting how instructors may discuss gender identity and race in classrooms amid statewide debates over academic freedom.

Let me fix that for you:

Texas A&M is limiting how instructors may discuss gender identity and race in classrooms in an assault on academic freedom unseen in America since the Red Scare.

The lowly discharge petition is really having a moment.

Like this dude is going to name his space program “earthseed” and not at all see the irony.

Tech people are so wrong about the messages of the scifi books they reference I am convinced they just havent actually read them.

The central message of Look to Windward is not, in fact, “do fascism so that you can digitize your consciousness.”

My feeling is that within the world of acquiring government contracts, it might be among the least shady systems? Not a ringing endorsement, but ....

Probably the midichlorians are the worst single explanation for anything ever in the history of sci-fi, so you may be right.

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
