Hampshire College to close after fall semester Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts, says it will permanently close after the fall 2026 semester. The announcement made Tuesday comes after the college has faced years of declining enrollment.

This is beyond tragic. I’m still very proud of the work I did at #HampshireCollege. It was the perfect school for me.

DOGE/Musk preferentially cancelled grants and contracts to recipients in counties that voted for Harris in 2024.

Among cancellations with election data available, 92.9% and 86.1% cancelled grants and contracts went to Harris counties, representing 96.6% and 92.4% of total dollar amounts.

I am still shocked that deliberately manipulative AI did not play a bigger role in the US election. “Make a video of a Haitian man roasting a cat over a backyard fire while onlookers cheer” is about all it takes. The end of evidence is practically upon us.

If it was from a bot, it was an awfully capable one. Either way, very impressed. Good job #Bluesky!

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything I was so completely unaware of my immediate need for.
