W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

NOTUS: Epidemiologist Katherine Keyes is listed in the MAHA report as author of a study on anxiety in adolescents (and) was surprised to hear of the citation.
“The paper cited isn't a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with."

it's like the government doesn't know how interferometers work.
@ligo.org will, as of this budget, in FY2026 operate only one site and that with a reduced level for technology development.
A ~40% reduction to our operation budget.

Pretty cool seeing the inevitable happen. Bootstrapping LLMs, as private for-profit products, off of the public commons inevitably comes at the expense of the commons itself. Not just the noise but in depriving the original sources of traffic, attention, and *communities* that made them possible.
People asking questions on Stack Overflow has declined to levels not seen in 15 years. Vibe coding and AI chat bots have made this once vibrant and essential developer community obsolete.
It’s unsurprising its parent company now wants to rebrand away from Stack Overflow.
RIP. You were a real one.

Stack overflow is almost dead
Today, Stack overflow has almost as few questions asked per month, as when it launched back in 2009. A recap of its slow, then rapid, downfall.

This is good news. And no, poor families do NOT have to have Netflix to access Sesame Street. Netflix will release episodes to PBS the *same day* they drop on Netflix, which is significantly better than the prior deal with HBO, which delayed episodes for 9 MONTHS before porting them over to PBS.
“Sesame Street” has found itself a new home.
Netflix announced that the decades-old public educational television program will premiere its 56th season on the global streaming giant, along with 90 hours of previous episodes.
