Wild that Indiana is going to finally win a national football championship in the year that IU’s leaders & the state’s government decided it was no longer a serious research university.
So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...
Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees
Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Just got a text about a plane delay from United that ended with "(Powered by GenAI)"
Those texts feel highly programmatic already. For what reason is GenAI even needed?
Also feels like a dangerous use case? Air travel is 100% a case where you want precision in your messaging.
