Headline from Harvard Crimson: "Harvard President Garber Tells Faculty He Is Not Considering a $500 Million Deal With Trump."

Text of story: Harvard prez Garber says report of a deal "was apparently leaked to the press by White House officials." NYT ran with it as a story.

Important details from this story:

1) Yet another news-break by student journalists (this time @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social) www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

2) Harvard saying "see you in court," not "let's make a deal."

3) Per Garber, WH/MAGA leaked news of a "deal." NYT then ran with it.

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.

I figured

@gregpak.net did Weingarten ever respond to your questions?

Does it have any material on how genAI is very much a tool of fascists being wielded against education?

Okay, this is a must-read, fantastic, informative & thread, but also I don't think we can discount the possibility that Phillips either thinks "Shia" and "Sharia" are the same thing or knows the difference but is counting on her readers not to & is using that as cover for her racist bullshit.

World chess just placed restrictions on both trans women and trans men The International Chess Federation will stop allowing transgender women to participate in women's tournaments. The group said changing genders has a "significant impact" on a player's status.

All you need to know about transphobes/terfs/gender critical people is that they think trans people have an unfair advantage in chess.

PHOTO ESSAY: Starvation attacks the bodies of these children in Gaza GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — In some tents and shelters in northern Gaza, emaciated children are held in their parents' arms. Their tiny arms and legs dangle limp.

My God. The images in this AP photo essay of starving children in Gaza are going to haunt me forever.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of my fabric art creatures. They're on green fur with a galaxy print fabric in the background. There's a black cosmic moth with a gray face, twinkly red eyes, and a wide smile full of sharp teeth. She's covered with embroidered stars and planets of various sizes and colors. There's a watermelon ghost covered with embroidered pink flowers sitting on a pink wire chair. There's a watermelon ghost bag and a small homunculus sitting on a pink and green striped chair. There's a tooth creature with a wide open mouth and four orange eyes and lavender eyeshadow. There's a black phantom with a gray face and wisps of every color of the rainbow.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word about my Big Cartel shop? A sale or two would be a colossal help.

All of my creations are designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

Rum did this to me. If it were up to me, everyone would hate rum

Also, one more time: thanks for posting about this in the first place. I'd shared it because there are a lot of people in this field in my circles, and I thought they'd very much want to know. It's super useful info.

I am such a 12yo that I laughed audibly

No idea tbh beyond “strategy consultant” and I have responded with some clarifying remarks, let’s say. Appreciate the expert insights from, you know, people w:actual expertise

"But new interviews with nearly two dozen Epstein accusers and multiple Maxwell acquaintances shed fresh light on the extent to which she and others allegedly abetted his sexual abuse of young women and girls."

These are great! 3D humanity and personality just leap to the eye

So then he pushed him? Idk Kenny.

Harvard “is seriously considering resolving its dispute with the White House through the courts rather than a negotiated settlement.”

The university president said “the suggestion that Harvard was open to paying $500 million is ‘false’”

I have a Very Bad Reaction to people who yell at me abt doing something I didn't do&then trot out "evidence" to rebut the thing I didn't do that's not remotely relevant to the very defensible thing I did do.

What is the Bluesky version of subtweeting, vaguebooking, etc? Fogskying? I am fogskying

Nope

& I appreciate your patience bc this is not my favorite thing tbh

They are a "strategy consultant" working w/APA apparently, but their commentary seems to ref patient-side&I am not sure what any of it has to do w/practitioner side, tbh. &they said SimplePractice &TherapyNotes are "commonplace"&HIPAA compliant, which I noted is not the same as BAAs not covering AI
