Listen, they're coming for liberal arts education but why stop there? Math could be next
FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you
LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times
F: Not a 600% cut
L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now

Can someone school me on why Bandcamp doesn't let you make playlists of songs you don't own yet? Is it because they think it might discourage sales? Or maybe they like having a stripped-down interface?

I just finished @lizpelly.bsky.social 's "Mood Machine" and I love how it ends with public libraries, open source CMS, and digital preservation as promising elements in the future of music sharing. Some of my favorite things!

I decided to give the National Design Studio its own page, so I could better track all the 1-page websites they've created dogetrack.info/agencies/nds/
National Design Studio
In August, EO 14338 created the National Design Studio, with DOGE member Joe Gebbia subsequently named Chief Design Officer. Is this really something new or just the old DOGE playbook under a new name...

Elliott Kalan has on occasion described Star Wars as a movie about a boy who gives a robot a bath, and it's through that lens that I come up with these.
