For the record, this comes from the same online wellness culture moral panic that all of RFKJr’s policies come from too. It’ll be seed oils next.

I’m not saying ultra processed foods are healthy. I’m just saying when I see language like “addictive” tossed around, I know where they get their info.
San Francisco is suing ultraprocessed food companies.

The city attorney is filing the first government lawsuit in the US against manufacturers of ultraprocessed food.

He argues that cities are burdened with the cost of treating diseases that ultraprocessed food brings on.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

A twist nobody saw coming! (Spoiler alert: everyone saw this coming. There was simply no way this wasn't going to end with OU's dumpster fire admin bending the knee to TPUSA & Oklahoma's insane government.)
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

they're promoting Golding just so Kiffin won't have the opportunity to poach any of his current coaches lolol. Kiffin pissing off literally everybody on his way out the door is on-the-nose.
Ole Miss to retain key offensive staffer under Pete Golding, per report
Pete Golding will reportedly hold on to a key offensive coach as he looks to build his initial staff as Ole Miss head coach.

The best part of Lane Kiffin going to LSU is we get to witness the absolutely epic way he manages to get fired.

The combination of LSU and Kiffin is going to create a spectacular scene when it comes to a head🔥🔥🔥

Remembering all the t shirt Texas fans & loudmouth commentators online who were incandescently angry that we hired Sark over Kiffin, and now we have arguably the most loyal coach in all of D1 while Kiffin screws over *yet another* legacy program.

an incredibly interesting piece about why rabies is surging in India. spoiler alert: because humans nearly completely eliminated one of the locally native species that helps keep it in check.
Humans killed millions of vultures. Now people are paying the price.
The near-extinction of vultures in India has had severe consequences.

Like, I know that there's probably not a lot to be said about the flagship public university in Mississippi, but LSU's admin is currently a goddamn dumpster fire, and I think that any man who'd willingly run towards it instead of staying at a sure-thing that *you built yourself* is out of his mind.
You’d have a hard time convincing me that LSU is currently a better job than Ole Miss.
He can accomplish everything at Ole Miss that he could at LSU - with less pressure.

that sounds kind of delicious, tho? I'm very big on savory oatmeal preps, something way too many people have no idea exist. like, oatmeal with bacon, avocado, & a smoked cheddar is just *divine*
"Girl, you're thicker than a bowl of oatmeal" takes on new meaning when you eat it with peanut butter and chia seeds

uuuuugh, Walmart has a digital Xbox download of Elden Ring on sale for $15, and I'm trying hard to talk myself out of buying it because I already own it on Steam. I'm *so bad* about buying games I like for multiple platforms.

jfc, this entire thread. I am speechless, other than to note that this would've never happened when I was in college 25 years ago.
At this point, our intro comp/first-year English course has been so heavily revised, it no longer includes a novel, or "extended reading" of any kind, no "specialized" or "historical" reading, mostly in-class assignments, no research essay...and we are still seeing a 40-50% rate of AI misconduct.

This is a really good thread and, tbh, sounds a lot like my dealing with interns the last couple years.

I think LLMs are a super useful and good tool *for experts* but I can't see how at this point it's even remotely a question about giving them to non-experts or normies in the main.
This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

lololol ... Texas will always have the upper hand in this game because there will never be a time when we're not living rent-free in their heads, 24/7/365. also, their SEC schedule this year was a cakewalk compared to ours, so us keeping them out of the SEC championship game is just *chef's kiss*

I've said from the very start that the Trump 2.0 cabinet secretary most likely to wind up going to prison is Pete Hegseth, and I'm sticking by that prediction. I mean, for god's sake, even Ed Whelan and fuckin John Yoo are saying the Caribbean strikes are illegal!

Ed Whelan was Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for OLC from 2001-2004, so when he suggests that laws of war have been violated by the executive branch, that’s… something
Does Pete Hegseth have a "golden shield" against prosecution in the form of a DOJ OLC opinion? Ed Whelan thinks not.
