It's notable that this comes, over the widespread opposition of their own faculty, after Trump's support has dropped like a rock and a bunch of the administration's other power grabs are losing momentum even on the legal front.

Northwestern joins the growing list of US universities which are caving to Trump by agreeing to illegally ban trans people from facilities.
Banning trans people from bathrooms is illegal in Illinois, as affirmed by law and a court ruling.

What gets me about AI content is that it's so, so UGLY. It's like when those scientists were like, "Well we've averaged out the signals that reach earth and the color of the universe is brown." They made a machine that can only make brown.

This week I learned that if one 80+-year-old jazz musician gets your phone number, they all have it.

My dad, Don Seybold, has died.
Made jazz radio across six decades; jazz presenter & agent; at 60, started teaching jazz history.
So charismatic, he excelled at sales, politics, seduction, storytelling.
He used it to promote other people’s art.
Life tested his ethics many times. He always passed.

I taped Heathers when it premiered on HBO. I was an 8th grader in Catholic school. The one other weirdo in my class and I would recite lines to each other. Watching on probably the largest screen I’ve ever seen it on and it’s the first time I’ve noticed that stereo.

They make more money off sick people than vaccines.
The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.
The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.
They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.
