Some kids made adoption signs to hang up around the shelter. Most of them were cute and sweet but I greatly enjoy this straight up threat.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.

As legal battles are fought over an executive order restricting transgender care for patients younger than 19, some clinics continue to provide the care, while others are backing off.

Hospitals that can afford Super Bowl ads shouldn’t be sending their patients to collections
So what do my HCW friends think about NYU Langone spending millions of dollars in the Super Bowl for an ad instead of say paying more to their workers or buy new equipment?
Good use of resources? 🤔

“Why is Elon’s coup not on the front page of the New York Times???”
idk, probably because the NYT is a puzzle game app that happens to also release articles about how trans people aren’t real but are also somehow a menace. It’s like asking why there isn’t a sonnet printed on your toilet paper

there are so many of these but the top two that get me looks are bacon and raw tomatoes
What’s a food that you are absolutely in the minority about disliking. I think my worst one is probably summer rolls. Oh and olives. Unless they’re blue cheese stuffed and in a dirty martini.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?

You may remember MLB insisting for decades that minor league ball is not a profitable endeavor so much as a benevolent preservation of small-town America. So why is this private equity group buying up minor league teams at a breakneck pace? Well, www.mecep.org/blog/8-reaso...

The encampments are gone and with them the TV crews but some folks have spent the months since working overtime to criminalize every single thing about them and any possible association with them. The behind the scenes retribution and score settling would shock you.
Columbia University staff are being suspended and terminated for participating in last Spring's Gaza Solidarity Encampment, even if they were off the clock at the time. Similar cases are being seen across the country.
