Yes, Northwestern and @medillschool.bsky.social, go hide in shame. You realize that no one will want to give you money to turn around and give it to Donald Trump. My alma mater is dead to me.

Today, I give you this piece from 2016, which argues that President Chester A. Arthur deserves a better historical reputation.

Satellites spot gathering of gigantic tusked animals on remote Arctic island. It has never been seen before | Discover Wildlife
The crowd of animals was discovered as part of the Walrus from Space project, which is using satellite imagery to explore what might happen to these huge marine mammals as the climate changes.

Deeply absurd. This Google PDF published on a blog (arxiv, not peer reviewed) claims an LLM is "PhD level" but in most cases the MAJORITY of reference URLs were invalid or inaccessible.

We were recently made aware of disturbing and offensive artwork in the new game Ace of Spades by Devir. We have contacted Devir regarding this matter.
Fellow hobbyists: we must strive to be better humans. We can’t simply “look the other way” when an issue doesn’t affect us directly.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
