This is what every Democratic state needs to do, tell its state university leaders that they will lose all state appropriations if they sign the compact. Take the decision out of feckless college administrators’ hands.

Virginia State Senate Dems just brought down fire and fury regarding the “Compact,” notifying the President and Rector that UVA would lose ALL STATE APPROPRIATIONS if it signs and cedes the University to “federal political control.” Notably, their letter directly restates points made here by @siva.

The “compact” for higher ed is an unserious document written by unserious people from a position of spectacular ignorance. No one should take it seriously. Sadly, my bosses are taking it seriously.

Props to @pundus.art and @scorpiondesign.bsky.social who did a lot of work to get this Gladius remaster in good shape. With this remaster, all of the variants of the Saber family are now up to our quality bar. This makes the Saber family the fourth fully-remastered family of starships complete!

Coming soon to #StarTrekOnline , the Gladius-Class has been remastered to our current visual standard, and as usual, this will be free for any owners of the Gladius Escort Refit and usable on any ship in the Escort (Saber-Class family)!

MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community.

Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

The image features two logos: the Wizards of the Coast logo in rainbow gradient colors on the left, and the Trans Lifeline logo in white on the right. Large bold text in the center reads: “Support Trans Lifeline.” Below, smaller text says “Tune in Oct 4” next to the Twitch logo.

The Hired Steel folks did a supercut of all their episodes and it clocks in at 22 minutes of amazing robot-on-robot-on-tank action. I think this is a great look at how cool #Battletech is as a setting and a vibe. Even if you're not a BT fan, you'll have a ton of fun!

Every story among the 35,000 statistic matters and everlasting shame on the corpos who delivered this hell for "shareholder value" and anticipated (though never realized) AI outsourcing.

Money men are the worst decision makers.

R.I.P. to an absolute acting legend. Dame Patricia Routledge was amazing, funny, elegant but not afraid to poke fun at snobby behaviour. I literally grew up laughing at her portrayal of Hyacinth Bucket in “Keeping Up Appearances”, as she was very much like an Aunt I have.🥲👏 #RIPDamePatriciaRoutledge

So many careers have been interrupted or destroyed, those who can are looking for career opportunities abroad. The public had their chance to speak out, but it's honestly too late. It'll be a long time recovering from the scientific losses already inflicted. More are promised.

Texas Universities are now banning many professors from even acknowledging that transgender people even exist.

A massive censorship battle is snowballing its way through Texas higher ed.

S. Baum writes about it in their latest piece for Erin In The Morning.

Campus officials claim to have no choice but to censor the mere mention of trans people. But that’s not actually the law.
