So many of these orgs don't even have to be given orders because they are volunteering

And they're too cowardly to own that, so then they are claiming they are following orders that they did not even get

We've just launched a big update to the #SaveOurSigns project: a revamped website and a public image viewer. So many wonderful people have sent us more than 10,000 images of National Park Service signs that may be under threat. Data download links for each park/site: sites.google.com/umn.edu/save...

Look, we need to remember that just because we can make an emergency website in a few days when it's an emergency, does not mean we SHOULD regularly try to make websites in a few days.

google wants to introduce errors into my spreadsheets and attribute them to me
screenshot of a popup on Google Sheets with two buttons "Learn more" and "Got it"

header reads "Gemini can now do more for you in Sheets" with "for" scribbled out in red, and the word AS above it, so it says "Gemini can now do more AS you in Sheets"

below that:
Gemini can now make requested changes and insert content directly into your files. 

HIGHLIGHTED TEXT: All inserted content will be attributed to you in version history.

For inline features like =Al), Gemini will insert content directly. For the side panel, Gemini will provide a preview first unless it understands your goal is a direct edit, such as making a pivot table or adding conditional formatting.
Gemini in Workspace can make mistakes, including about people, so double-check responses.

The AI-ification of Google has truly made getting help on coding questions into complete a complete shitshow. Useless, wrong, misleading.

The Trump administration offered a select group of universities the opportunity to score priority access for federal funding.

Many of those schools were largely silent, as they considered the conservative terms that could upend university life.
Colleges weigh whether to sign onto Trump plan or forgo federal benefits
A new proposal from the Trump administration would give colleges funding advantages if they adopt conservative priorities.

As @tressiemcphd.bsky.social knows, I almost didn’t write my book because of years of threats against me and my family. I wrote the book and I’m happy about it, but this kind of harassment takes a toll.

This new column by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social makes me think about when I recently had to talk to the police for yet another safety plan, I tried to “lighten” the mood by saying that we all knew this wasn’t my first rodeo. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...
For at least the past 15 years, my colleagues in academia have grappled with angry letters to university officials for doing their jobs. They have weathered campaigns for their firing. They have contended with an internet army obsessed with doxxing them, their parents, their kids. I’ve been contacted by the F.B.I. more than once in my career. Not because I hold any important state secrets or know a biker gang but because one of my colleagues has lived with so much sustained harassment from right-wing “activists” that it has become a matter of federal concern. Watch lists (one of which was constructed by Kirk’s organization) do not distinguish between public intellectuals at wealthy enclaves and hoi polloi who teach popular classes at cash-strapped schools. In either case, an army of trained provocateurs stands ready to destroy their lives to prove their bona fides as conservative activists.

One reason to support @aaup.org in this case is that they are not Harvard the institution, even as they are defending Harvard faculty and student rights. AAUP will not stop if the administration and Harvard leadership come to an agreement that still undercuts those rights.

Has anyone else had issues with MapServer layers not correctly rendering in QGIS print layouts that they were able to resolve? The layer is visible in the print layout, but when I export them as raster some tiles seem to render, others don't.

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.
Right now: As an ICE agent sets up floodlights facing a few protesters outside the Broadview ICE facility, one activist remarks that photos “better not be for your spank bank.”

“Nothing from your genetic lineage would be in my sp…” the agent began to reply, cutting himself off.

(1) So the Secretary of Defense says that the soldiers who fought at Wounded Knee will keep their medals.

In the evening they marched off up Wounded Knee Creek, and then we saw all that they had done there.

LOL teens of the late 90s unite. I remember sitting in an undergrad poli sci class and thinking "Does that sound right? I don't think that sounds right."

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/
