The requirement will be embedded into every undergraduate program at Purdue, but it won't be done in a "one-size-fits-all" manner. Instead, the Board is delegating authority to the provost, who will work with the deans of all the academic colleges to develop discipline-specific criteria and proficiency standards for the new campus-wide requirement. Chiang said students will have to demonstrate a working competence through projects that are tailored to the goals of individual programs. The intent is to not require students to take more credit hours, but to integrate the new AI expectation into existing academic requirements.

The auction is live! This is your chance to shop for unique holiday gifts *and* donate to charity.

I had a lot of fun painting these, and I hope you have even more fun looking through all the fantastic entries. Happy bidding!
Postcard sized painting, featuring a white horse skull with brown ears wearing a solid off-white cloak. Gold fills the opening of the cloak, flowing from the skull down to the bottom edge. The background is solid black, with three matching gold circles stacked vertically in the top left corner. A watercolor painting of a horse skull in a white cloak that's being blown in the wind.

what's your sign
An opossum sits on a white tablecloth with a woman standing behind it, holding up a purple sign with the word "SAD" written in marker, adorned with a few raindrops that I assume to be tears. The opossum appears to be dissociating.

Cold as hell but still a great turnout in OKC! #handsoff
Photograph of a crowd from behind (most people facing away from the camera) assembled on the lawn in front of the OKC city hall, listening to speakers on the steps of the building. Everyone is dressed in cold weather clothing, many of whom are holding signs (far enough from the camera that they aren't easily read.) The sky is full of grey clouds and the trees are flush with young leaves. A photograph of the same crowd from farther away showing that the lawn is full of people out to the sidewalks, two people are crossing the road in the foreground. The sky is grey and trees above the protestors cover view of the city hall and most surrounding buildings

Surely the government using IRS filings to sell people to the slave prison won't hurt already diminishing tax revenue, right guys?....right?

LUIGI MANGIONE MAKES FIRST PUBLIC STATEMENT, LAUNCHES WEBSITE Mangione's legal team confirms exclusively to Rolling Stone that his statement and new website are real By LORENA O'NEIL FEBRUARY 14, 2025 (photograph of a stoic Mangione in an orange jumpsuit being led by officers) Luigi Mangione in NYC on Dec. 19, 2024, after being extradited from Pennsylvania. XNY/STAR MAX/GC IMAGES On Friday, Luigi Mangione spoke out for the first time since his arrest, releasing a statement on a new website (www.luigimangioneinfo.com) launched by his legal defense team. "I am overwhelmed by - and grateful for everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support," writes Mangione. "Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial, and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC from across the country, and around the globe. While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive. Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future." A spokesperson for Mangione's legal team exclusively confirmed to Rolling Stone that the website is real, but declined to comment any further. In addition to Mangione's statement, a message from his attorneys is on the homepage. "Due to the extraordinary volume of inquiries and outpouring of support, this site was created and is maintained by Luigi Mangione's New York legal defense team to provide answers to frequently asked questions, accurate information about his cases, and dispel misinformation," reads the message. "The intent is to share factual information regarding the unprecedented, multiple prosecutions against him." Mangione is the lead suspect for the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The 26-year-old is currently being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. He pleaded not guilty to state murder and terror charges in December and is facing federal charges for second-degree murder as well as weapons charges. The website has various sections including case updates, statements made by lead defense attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo, FAQs, contributions, and a contact form. The contribution section links to a Give Send Go crowdfunding website that his supporters created to help pay for his legal expenses. Donations surpassed $400,000 on Friday night. "Luigi is aware of the fund and very much appreciates the outpouring of support," Agnifilo said in a statement earlier this week. "My client plans on utilizing it to fight all three of the unprecedented cases against him." Mangione's supporters have sent him numerous letters, photos, and books. "He is very appreciative, but kindly asks that people temporarily refrain from sending more books," the legal team writes in the FAQs. (ADVERTISEMENT) At any given time, Mangione is only permitted to possess five books, a photo album, and 25 pictures, although wardens can adjust these limits at their discretion. In addition to asking for a hold on books, Mangione requested that people send no more than five photos at a time. The legal team reminds senders that every photo is screened and reviewed by law enforcement. Mangione's next court date is in one week, on Feb. 21 in Manhattan. It was originally scheduled for the morning but has shifted to the afternoon. This article was updated at 11:07 p.m. ET to include additional information from the website launched by Luigi Mangione's legal defense team.

thinking about... her
A drawing by Underdone Comics, titled "Blanket Octopus Courtship" A comparatively very small male octopus says "My queen! At last I set my tiny eyes on your immense beauty. Please take this arm... it's full of life-giving seed. Let it be a testament of my undying love for you." The large red female octopus with two billowing "blanket" tentacles below her replies "Okay, thanks. I'll put it with the others - now go off and die." Background is a light blue to dark blue gradient, edged with bubbles

Boudins! (I'm hungry)
A graphic from the book "A Pictorial Guide to Metamorphic Rocks in the Field" by Kurt Hollocher A. shows a drawing of rock boudins- squashed, elongated ovals with flat edges, and uses arrows to point out the extension direction (left to right )and boudin separation (between each of the "links") B. shows a cartoony drawing of a pink sausage, labeled "Rock boudin namesake" C. "unbroken competent rock layer between more ductile adjacent layers" showing an elongated, shaded rectangle with two thin lines running along the top and bottom D. "Brittle fracture of competent layers" showing the shaded rectangle broken into smaller segments, with the two thin lines unbroken and dipping into the spaces between each rectangle, visually similar to a string of sausage links
