Is it just me, or is Interfolio suddenly very glitchy? I don't remember having much trouble with it in previous years, but this year I have had a lot of trouble getting it to successfully upload my documents.

There is something to say here about how the growth of digital methods as incentivized the replacement of other other preservation/repatriation strategies with digital alternatives...
I see that @whitehousehistory.bsky.social put out a statement yesterday stating that they were able to complete a “comprehensive digital scanning project” to document the East Wing, and that the historic artifacts have been preserved and stored.

If any video essayists want to do a deep dive on why I am suddenly getting tons of AI-generated "we know where witches are born" and "here is your witch sign" ads on Youtube, that would be great, hahaha.

I never liked olives and was told to try them again when I turned 30. Unfortunately, I still don’t like them 😭
Quite problematic when one works around the Mediterranean.

Olives are mine, too. Came completely out of left field.
Does anyone have any foods they used to despise growing up that you've completely 180'd on and now love?
The ones that stand out for me are Olives. Quiche and recently fresh tomatoes.
I used to friggin hate tomatoes. Now I can slice a fat beef tommy and eat it with a bit of salt and pepper. Lol.

I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.

Agreed—this is yet another poorly-thought-through political stunt, which characterizes a lot of GOP policy these days.

Robert's story is a fantastic job of reporting why Cruz and Cornyn's plan to steal the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Air and Space Museum and bring it to Houston should be DOA
