“And evermore, deep in his small and ancient brest, there stirred a sorrow sharp as winter wind—a hiraeth for the numinous lands of Faerie that slipt into legend many ages agone.”

Never forget that the new rules for what is “professional” has the same DNA as everything.
It’s meant to target lower SES people and people of color who make up the majority of nursing staffs.
It’s meant to punish a profession who stood up to trump and dumb immigration policies.

Nursing is no longer counted as a 'professional degree' by Trump admin
The Department of Education has excluded nursing as a "professional degree" program as it implements various changes to student loans.

We’re all in agreement that conservatives are gonna release a redacted report and the democrats will release an unredacted report and both sides will be like “theirs is a lie!” And then we’ll all get distracted by the theater until the Midterms, right?

It’s wild to me that conservatives dumbed down education so much in this country that chapGPT is capable of answering highschool level questions in America.
Like it’s super stupid to use ChatGPT or google Ai for answers. But it also works too often.

I think it’s time we stopped over validating people who are good at computers.
Yes, some have math degrees. Most are wealthy because of their parents have they have a two year degree in a specific language.
It’s cool but it’s not impressive.

Okay. Look. Predator isn’t for everyone but I went to see this expecting bombastic monster killing (which does happen) but I also got cool lore and a story about chosen family and honor.
It was way more fun than I was expecting.

I haven’t been to the White House in decades. But when I see this my first thought is that “this is not where the Oval Office is, and they are just making a sign they can easily move to wherever he is”
