Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Sailing is hard work when you barely know what you're doing...
I am sore as hell, but got to spend the afternoon teaching my dad what little sailing knowledge I've picked up

I should have just bought a replacement pump motor for my ResMed 10 from Australia and fixed it myself

They finally shipped my replacement CPAP... and sent me a new copy of the one I have been using since mine died and Hate -_-

And also programmed it wrong

And also I have to use it at least 4 hours a day or insurance will make me pay for it

Vampires would experience time differently than a mortal, years passing in the blink of an eye.

For a vampire, time is infinite and free. It is worthless.

So why don't they ever show vampires using linux?

BIG BOAT STUCK

Dreadnought Holiday @dreadships.bsky.social · 3d

Interesting events on the Norwegian/Swedish border, where the Hagland Captain is still stuck next to the Svinesund Bridge having failed to successfully identify the wet bit that runs underneath it.

Photo of the unfortunate vessel, suspiciously close to the shore and even more suspiciously not moving...

having spent a summer trying to use WinME for a field-work job, I can confirm that Win11 is similarly dogshit

The replies to this are super interesting because they can all basically be filed under three categories:

- "I don't finish something I don't like, so here's something that isn't that bad but wasn't my favourite."
- "I am a sicko who beat Bart VS The Space Mutants 50 times."
- "BioShock: Infinite."
