I suspect someone impersonating Trump and playing up the Barron character because it's so on the nose. And given the lunacy of Trump, still plausible.

There is no way he'll acknowledge it regardless, because that would be whatever the equivalent of embarrassment is for him.

So you decide to scream in all caps, a bunch of histrionic and otherwise unsubstantiated incoherence.

Bravo, you are unserious.

Columbia economics professor telling students they *must* use AI for reading assignments, for coding assignments, for lecture supplements.

Why not just let AI run a simulation of a college education and call it a day? You can get a little NFT diploma and show it off to your ChatGPT girlfriend too.

I am all for this type of public education.

Funding basic as well as applied r&d is essential, and it's what the current US admin has bolloxed royally.

I dont know...what are you looking for?

Find better restaurants...

I wouldn't even call it a good round of the board game "Risk"

This will be particularly interesting given the last election cycle where her district voted for her AND Trump. In fact, it will be an interesting test for the strains of populism that has been overtaking the citizenry.

I think it will also be entirely contingent on the economic environment.

French Laundry owner slams proposed affordable housing project near restaurant Concerned business owners worry that financial risk could fall on locals.

I was at UC Davis an entire year before I realized Wayne Thiebaud had been teaching there until 2002 and could periodically be still seen on campus. In 2021, I did this quick #sketch of him in parallel pen and acrylic ink/gouache. #art

Not everything has to be a "need"....sometimes it's just nice and/or cathartic.

I oddly miss the lament cube in Enlightenment.
