Quinoa banned from MN state fair crop art competition for not being MN enough, sowing seeds of discontent.

Known for its small size and versatility for lettering, artists will have to mind their p's and q's.

Ohio's public universities are eliminating nearly 90 degree programs as a result of Senate Bill 1 • Ohio Capital Journal Nearly 90 degree programs have been identified to be cut at Ohio’s public universities since Senate Bill 1 was signed into law a year ago.

If you think legislation that targets “low enrollment degrees” only impacts the humanities please look at this list. Degrees in chemistry, math, physics, political science, data analytics, psychology and economics are being eliminated. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/16/o...

Immigration board denies Mahmoud Khalil's appeal The Board of Immigration Appeals has denied Mahmoud Khalil's latest attempt to dismiss his deportation case. This decision brings the Palestinian activist one step closer to possible expulsion.

Most people don’t need the BLS to tell them that energy prices are up, but still…the largest one month gain in the energy index in 21 years. Pushing the entire index up 0.9 percent in one month.

Yvan was in my first Game Theory semester at Macalester. He came with skill, drive, and intuition. Then I got to watch him develop his term paper over the semester as his toolkit expanded.
I look forward to seeing him as a colleague.
Also just, like, a joyful human.

Grants to Support Data for Economic Measurement Projects

To support the launch of research projects on economic measurement, the Economic Measurement Research Institute (EMRI) at NBER, with the support of the National Science Foundation, invites proposals from early-career faculty members and dissertation-writing doctoral students for small data acquisition grants. Economic measurement can include price measurement, national or regional income and product measures, employment and wage statistics, technology indicators, and a range of other economic measurement topics. 

Examples of the types of data purchases that are envisioned include, but are not limited to:

Data sets from payroll service providers that specialize in small employers to measure their employment and wage trends.
Extracts of government administrative data to better capture output and employment for sectors that are not captured with existing official surveys.
Subscriptions to or acquisitions of proprietary data sources to measure quality-adjusted prices for emerging technologies.
Location data sold by aggregators to measure economic activity for small businesses based on traffic patterns.
Grants generally will be between $2,500 and $7,500 and may only be used to cover costs associated with data purchases, including subscriptions to data providers. Grants may not be used to hire research assistants, to cover the salaries of project investigators, or to support the acquisition of data for projects that are not focused on economic measurement and the creation of new or improved economic statistics. The NBER will not cover any indirect costs associated with data purchases or make sub-awards to other institutions. Invoices for data purchases may be paid directly by the NBER, or project investigators can be reimbursed for data purchase expenses.

From the TrueAnon community on Reddit: F35 source code leaked, massive Lockheed Martin data breach Posted by 150c_vapour - 776 votes and 206 comments

Looks like Canada's decision for the Grippen fighter jet over the American F-35 is going to be easier. Nothing worse than having a jet hacked in the middle of flight.
