In a stunning move, the school won in court today
In local news, the local high school is now suing its governing body after that group upheld suspensions of 30+ players who left sidelines during a fight in last week’s playoff game. Once that lawsuit gets rejected one has to think they will forfeit.

I think it is a great movie. Arnold at his best, some great dystopian themes like Total Recall, and indeed the deep fake stuff is eerie
I put on the old Running Man movie with Arnold. I knew it was bad. I forgot exactly HOW bad.
Also…it has Jesse Ventura with hair. I didn’t recognize him at first.
The deep fake stuff is eery though.

The new “state run” accreditation group from several Southern states just got a boost
The Secretary of Education just appointed five new members to the powerful National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI)--the organization that approves accreditors. Expect NACIQI to play a major role over the next several years.
