Low blood sugar is also an underlying cause of mental health misdiagnosis.

Students can soon earn automatic admission to state's universities, hoping to keep more in Illinois High school and community college students in Illinois will soon be able to earn automatic admission to most state public universities based on their GPA — without even having to apply.

Did you do well in high school here in Illinois? You're getting into our public universities automatically.

We're making it easier to go to college and easier to pay for it now.

Electrification isn’t just about plugging more stuff it. We must rewrite the rules of how cities breathe, move, and thrive to fundamentally reimagine how our cities serve people. Behind the #smartcity glow hides crumbling grids and huge equity gaps.

Given the precipitous decline of the industry of academia and the recent layoffs at WPI and the absolute decimation of ClarkU, Worcester, MA is about to go through some things. Baseball isn't going to save it. Absolute mess about to overcome that fabulous community.

Absent-mindedly put the washer on the wrong side of the config and over-torqued. Bad. I have chronic back pain and it really creates a lot of problems. I just didn't want to pay the price required to lean over and look. My spouse is gentle about the frustration, but for me, so hard. #chronicpain

We used to have parties in my neighborhood that rotated in and out the 2 council members who happened to live in the area so there wouldn't be any violation of some public meeting law. Now the President takes public bribes from foreign countries.

No joke trying to figure out how to cancel Hulu.

What a glorious find.

It's so obvious when a story is written by AI. There is a constant sort of vague circular reasoning. It's just boring and like an undergraduate writing to a word count.

Always keep watch. Eventually the aliens will slip up and do something unhuman a little too nonchalantly. Then we'll know. 👽🛸

Yesterday, the lifeform we call "Elly De La Cruz" forgot himself and took flight to catch this baseball. 😮

I have modeled quite a few advanced tech markets, but not the EV one. If I were to embark on that, I'd be super intent on looking for the point where available incentives drop below new (as in new drivers) EV purchases. I'm sure that's done, just thinking out loud.

In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time.

I took the picture, but obviously I did not paint it.

It's just a painting. I am surprised it was labeled, but no more upsetting than your typical female bust one find's in a museum.

Portrait-oriented photo featuring a wooden post with a rusted hanger hook jutting out of it, and standing atop the post, triumphant and at least slightly indignant, is a plump little bluebird. The bluebird is a male, and we see the electric blue of his head, but the predominant part facing us is the coppery-orange and pale white front. He is standing amidst little pink-and-red tree blossoms, but I like to imagine these are instead the extracted organs of his enemies. So let's just pretend this bluebird stands vengefully astride a scattering of viscera -- gobbets of gore taken as a prize from his unnatural and invasive foes. I'm sorry I've really made this a gross photo. It's actually quite nice. Kind of a dreamy vibe to it, what with the wall of yellow forsythia blurring in the background, and here I am adding drippy bits and internal organs. I'm sorry. I'll do better next time. Probably.

Everything is bad but birds are good so time to reinstitute BIRD PROTOCOL where a bird is deployed to offset endless evil vibes, please enjoy, birds are good, okay bye

Harvard Will Not Comply With a List of Trump Administration Demands Federal officials said Harvard must enact “merit-based reform” in hiring and admissions, among other things. Harvard called the demands unlawful.

"“No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” said Alan Garber, Harvard’s president, in a statement to the university"

My grandma wanted to know if we were “on the pot.” Like “the social media.”

Waffles! You have to cut us off. Do it.

Florida looks fun.

The final poster. THE LIFE OF CHUCK drops in June. I love this movie!

This is like being stunned that your dead tree stump is not producing any apples. Honey it just doesn’t do that anymore

It's startling. We may be as wealthy a country--and as individuals--as of yesterday as we will ever be again in our lifetimes.
