It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

Looking for feedback on an #HPC "batch job wizard", as shown in the video. The core idea is to iteratively build a #Slurm job script, highlighting the relation between the GUI and the Slurm directives. The video shows a prototype QT/Python app on an #HPCDesktop. Could this work for new HPC users?

I do hope everyone realizes that much like virtually all of his executive orders, this one is illegal.

'BEWARE': Trump order demands some defense firms halt paying dividends, buying back stock - Breaking Defense

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:
Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.
He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.
