These companies keep forgetting they need people with money to buy their services.

You’re going to want to look at the Sabres IG. The Bills O line made an appearance.

All vibes. No substance.

We need more historians because history is one of the most powerful forms of knowledge. Just ask any autocrat why they want to control it! #TalkAboutHumanities

Inject this into my veins.

You should commit! You won’t regret it.

Hooray!

Trump administration withdraws appeal, securing historic victory for libraries and IMLS On April 6, 2026, a federal court granted the Trump Administration’s request to withdraw its appeal of a federal judge’s earlier ruling that struck down the Administration’s dismantling of the Institu...

This is great news for IMLS and the libraries & museums that it funds through their grant programs: www.ala.org/news/2026/04...

This juxtaposed with the joy and wonder of Artemis II makes my brain hurt.

Thank you! (And, um, a little embarrassing on my part.)

Someone needs to write a book about AP’s role in the collapse of the humanities at the college level. And that’s before you get to this new ridiculousness.

Anthropic sending people copyright takedown notices to forbid using their code, and irony is rolling in its grave.

Stayed at Hope Springs Resort near Palm Springs this weekend and they had this F. Scott Fitzgerald quote up on the wall and man it got me:

It’s so good.

Which means they were saplings only 50 years after the Norman Conquest in 1066.

Mind. Blown. 🤯
