This sucks. Anyone know what it means for the museum, Ashfall, the roadside salvage team, etc?
It's over.
Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

I want to plug the phenomenal Aquí en Chicago exhibition at the Chicago History Museum! It couldn’t have opened at a more challenging time, but the 4+ years of committed community work that led to this show is profoundly apparent.

I sincerely did not believe it was possible for FIFA to be more corrupt or disgraceful, and I'm genuinely impressed that they managed to surprise me.

since we're doing USPS discourse again, a reminder of what Dems should be saying
"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."

Lotions and moisturizers are great if the goal is to put a slimy film on your skin. But they don’t fix the underlying problem that the rH is like negative 20. What I actually want is a giant damp sponge to press against while I sleep…

As I have been lamenting for years, the clear erroneous standard for District Court findings of fact has been rendered null & void by this Court.
Justice Kagan in dissent:
“We are a higher court than the District Court, but we are not a better one when it comes to making such a fact-based decision.”

The USG has a new explanation on why they (now admittedly) intentionally killed 2 shipwrecked men. It does not pass the laws-of-war smell test
Worse for Hegseth, NYT: "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth approved contingency plans for what to do if an initial strike left survivors."

The amazing Rich Stroffolino showed up for all you Linux fans, living with Ubuntu on a Microsoft Surface Go.

Microsoft's Surface Go, a 2-in-1 detachable tablet laptop, was a marvel of power and portability but it doesn't meet the system requirements needed to run Windows 11. But what about the latest Ubuntu release? Rich shares his experience buying a used Surface Go cheap and getting it work with Ubuntu Linux including support for the Surface Go's stylus pen and eraser. Can Linux make an old machine new again?
Starring Sarah Lane and Richard Stroffolino
To read the show notes in a separate page click here!
Highlights
Surface Go (1st Generation)
- Intel Pentium Gold 4415Y
- 8GB RAM
- 128GB SSD
- I would not recommend the base model with 4GB RAM and 64GB eMMC storage
- Price new $399
- Price used at Goodwill: $80

1859: Abolitionist John Brown is the 1st American executed for treason. His crime? Freeing the enslaved
And the 2nd? Aaron Dwight Stevens, 29yo. Served Brown during the attempted slave revolt at Harpers Ferry, VA
A stark reminder that legality is not always a measure of justice, but power.

As if the world weren't harsh enough for young people, I see someone started the 'accommodations for disabilities are rubbish' discourse.
Maybe we could skip this ritual for fecking once. Just get over yourself if you're brooding over a student getting a quiet space or a computer to take an exam.
