pokemon character "Rika" is a woman in a tan shirt and suspenders with long green hair covering half of her face and a serious expression. on the right is Clodsire, a pokemon which is a medium brown colored very large and simplified cartoon salamander. Clodsire is drawn very crudely

I don't know which pokemon game Rika is from, but I really like how her design goes with her monster

The most important part of any graduate program is learning to think critically and independently. LLMs run counter to that purpose.

NSF building on Eisenhower Av. HUD now owns.

Destroying the NSF mural in the foyer. Of the Eisenhower building.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.

The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.
