US news stories in 2025: we're cancelling all the programs monitoring Incredibly Contagious Butthole Rot in foreign countries, what a waste of money

US news stories in 2026: okay for some reason there are now cases of Incredibly Contagious Butthole Rot popping up in the USA

I feel fundamentally as an academic, you should know the difference between AI and genAI. You cannot be positing that using citation managers such as Zotero is the same thing as submitting work that was written with a chatbot. Zotero can only output references that *you* input

A 17-year-old valedictorian, Leen Hijaz, used her graduation speech to speak for the voiceless: "Millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan. Families torn apart by ICE."

The school administrator cut her mic. Told her: "If you don't stop, you're not graduating." They withheld her diploma for four days.

as a 29 year old i get it but at a certain point you gotta accept what happened and understand your adult life is not gonna look like it does in early 00s movies

[Blast Professing @gaymerherb]

they'll try to convince you you're "crazy" for imagining a better world but the truth is that world doesn't include them and it scares them when we dream about it.
keep dreaming about it, keep fighting for it,
anyone trying to "calm you down" is a coward and you can tell them.

One of the characteristic syndromes of the age is the reduction of experience to the absorption of information. To read about something, or to watch a video about something, is not the same as experiencing that thing. This error produces miserable and stunted people.

The Board of Trustees has seized the opportunity to eliminate faculty governance within the university and replace it with their own authoritarian rule. There's a reason they only made the agenda public the day before this vote--this was an ambush. Even the President was unaware.

[The Auburn Plainsman @TheAUPlainsman]

The Auburn University Board of Trustees (BOT) unanimously voted to dissolve any current university senate, university faculty or faculty governance body. Its replacement will be the Presidential Academic Advisory Council (PAAC) at Auburn University.

two stabbings triggered a federal investigation but the quarter million Georgians who lost health insurance this year didn’t, bc “safety” has always meant the false promise of protection from the scary stranger, not wages you can live on, water you can drink, a doctor you can see

This sort of whining by people who think they’re above small talk does get pretty tedious
