So there is the f**ked up rule(ing) they made at some point that lets CPB violate some rights within 100 miles of a border, but Charlotte is 170ish miles from the ocean, and very far away from Canada... so what is CPB even doing there, out side of checking customs on parcels at the air port?

A bad thing is unfolding at NIH this week: It looks like the Trump administration is trying to replace key civil servant scientific leaders, the Institute Directors, with political hires. These directors control the NIH budget, tens of billions.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?
COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M adopts policy requiring professors to get OK from school president to discuss certain race and gender issues.

The reason the headline is "doom!" is because when you see what's already been done, you see that we can do more,
which means things can get better,
which means rich people's "it's over, no stopping this, might as well let us do what we want" manipulation might stop working. Can't have that.

Zoomers think life was better in previous decades? Try writing your papers in SCRIPT on a monochrome 3270 terminal
Oh, this one I do remember. I was able to do some cool stuff including figuring out how to make the mainframe compile to a postscript file which I could then download to a PC and then transfer to a Mac and print on the LaserWriter

also, there are plenty of text to speech tools that just record and don't analyze and they've existed for nearly my entire life. we've got to stop allowing people to conflate direct, non-generative tools with genAI when they have a financial incentive to do so

All Hegseth’s “warfighter” and “readiness” talk is so clueless and belied by the fact that the most important guy in the Pentagon is an out-of-shape 57-year-old GS-12 who hasn’t left his desk in 29 years who runs the spreadsheet that tracks the maintenance status of the air refueling tankers.
