Seven of the eight Ivy League schools are banned from the DOD program. Only my alma mater, Dartmouth College, remains eligible. I suspect it is because Dartmouth hired a hard core MAGA as its general counsel.
I wish we were one of the banned.

Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Other than high school music, everything I've done in my adult life has been self taught. And I didn't use my note reading & clarinet skills at all in my recording & performance career.

Self-taught people often don't realize it, but psychology says the way they solve problems is fundamentally different from most people
While you might think self-taught learners simply lack formal training, research reveals they've actually developed an entirely different cognitive operating system that makes them approach challenges...

A genuinely alarming piece in the NYT about how the developers, scientists and assorted techbros behind "AI companions"/"synthetic care" do not even know or understand the potential harms of the tech they're developing but they're too greedy to stop themselves from developing it.
