I'm just imagining all the one star reviews on the prior model: "Can't even fit my standard GameCube controller!"

TIL about Faculty First Responders, a group that offers "peer-to-peer counseling and advice to academic workers experiencing media attacks, campaigns of harassment, doxing, or other threats to their academic freedom and free speech."

Thanks @hormiga.bsky.social !

MNT Research GmbH MNT Research makes open source hardware laptops, mobile devices and keyboards that are modular and repairable. Designed and assembled in Berlin, EU.

It's going to be absolutely critical that we be able to hack on and trust the hardware we use. I think the hardware from MNT is the best bet we have for a computing future we still have a say in mnt.re

I hope the MNT Reform Next is going to make MNT's stuff more accessible to more people

If you're wondering what I've been working on.

I'm just gonna stubbornly put my skillz towards helping people until something fucking sticks lmao

Pobreza, calor, hambre. Pero vamos a prohibir los telefonos en las escuelas.

Discuten legado de "Mano Dura contra el Crimen" 20 años después La efectividad o no de esta estrategia gubernamental se evaluará en un foro con funcionarios y ex funcionarios, en el teatro Ramón Frade en el recinto de Cayey de la UPR.

Like many other things, first tried in Puerto Rico: www.primerahora.com/noticias/pol...

We got a rice maker as a wedding gift, and I never learned to make pegao either.

My mother in law made, my sister in law, and cooks in our church group all make 6 pounds of rice in a giant caldero with perfect golden crispy pegao. I could never.

I wonder how long before they start denaturalizing us Puerto Ricans?

They Asked Me To Cut My 6-Year-Old Son's Hair. I Taught Them About Native Cultural Erasure.

In February, my 6-year-old Waccamaw Siouan son was told that he must cut his long hair to continue attending a public charter school in North Carolina — and our world stopped.

A white skateboard and a black white and brown striped longboard in a car trunk.

Happy go skateboarding day to all who celebrate!

I've been skating for 50 years. I've never been good at it, but I can still do a 360°, and learned to Coleman slide a couple.of years ago.

Skatebarding keeps me young.

Cupey, de vez en mil pasa el amolador. Ya nunca veo verdurero. No recuerdo donas por aca.

The cuts to training and education will do incalculable damage to biomedical research and health.

Does it have LEDs?

¿Y el belén, pa' cuando?

A bold graphic with the headline ‘75 Years of Incredible Discovery. Now Under Attack.’ displays four visuals representing threats to the National Science Foundation (NSF). A pie chart shows a proposed 56% budget cut, a ‘CANCELLED’ stamp is over a document to represent over 1,000 grants terminated, chained lab equipment symbolizes freezes on new and existing funding, and a person packing a box reflects the abolishment of 37 internal divisions.

75 years of scientific discovery—now on the chopping block.

Trump’s 2025 budget proposes a 56% cut to the NSF. Over 1,000 grants terminated. 37 divisions abolished. Funding frozen.

This isn’t just reckless—it’s a war on knowledge, a war on progress.

Attacks on Higher Ed and the New Illiberal Electorate The right-wing destruction of American higher education institutions is a strategic move. Liberals need to answer with a strategy of their own.

The right-wing attacks on education--the grad student arrests, defunding battles, long-term reputation attacks--are a strategy, and so I've been thinking about what the big-picture counter-strategy is.

And then I wrote an article about it.

Meeting the Moment Together We are returning from the AERA Annual Meeting in Denver reinvigorated and with a deep appreciation for all that scholars and higher education leaders are holding in this moment. Rapid shifts in fed...

FYI “Spencer Foundation, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, William T. Grant Foundation and Kapor Foundation are providing quick turnaround grants of up to $25k for education scholars impacted by the abrupt NSF grant cancellations.” www.spencer.org/news/meeting...

You know what I wish the more human-centered tech conferences would do right now?

Open up special tickets and speaking slots for scientists whose work is getting axed and whose fields are being obliterated right now.

I oversaw rigorous review of NSF-funded research on misinformation: Now the Trump administration is cancelling it Politicians, not scientists, are the ones engaged in censorship

Thanks to @donmoyn.bsky.social for the platform to share my NSF experience & some thoughts on the recent cuts to misinformation research. Publicly funded research & accurate information is vital to our democracy. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/i-oversaw-...

My grandfather, an old doctor, complained his patients expected him to always prescribe some pill, even though he thought they should just rest.

Patients here just go to the drug store and buy loose antibiotics, no doctor visit. "I have a sore throat, give me 5 pen vks".

My story breaking this news exclusively was 7K+ words and had almost all of this in it, and more:

Mountain Town Radio

I was listening to mountaintown.fm this morning and they played Viva Puerto Rico Libre by Ghetto Brothers. I don't think I ever heard them before. The album first released in 1978.
