Hey, that's our board member!
What are the major drawbacks or unintended consequences of parking mandates? This is a good faith question, I just want to understand the issue better!
A Florida bill would create a "counterterrorism unit" to “detect and neutralize” people, groups, businesses, and others whose "actions, views or opinions are a threat or are inimical to the interests of this state and the United States of America.”
Already passed a State senate committee 7-1.

After their service and sacrifices, veterans shouldn’t have their essential health care put at risk, but that's exactly what has happened at the VA under their DOGE/Project 2025 agenda.
Eliminating thousands of medical positions is an attack on veterans.
Screenshot of a 3hr old post from the GW Hatchet: “BREAKING: GW sold its Virginia campus to Amazon Data Services, an Amazon subsidiary that manages the company's data centers, for $427 million on Friday. The deed, obtained by The Hatchet, authorizes ADS to develop the campus into a data or information technology center. STORY TK”
GW‘s student newspaper appears to have broken the story that the institution has sold a satellite campus to Amazon to be turned into a data center, which is just about chef’s kiss for the state of American higher education rn
ALPRs are “incredibly ripe for abuse,” EFF’s @mguariglia.bsky.social told @SFstandard.com. “No matter how many legal or bureaucratic guardrails you put on those searches, officers are going to find a way to use it for their own personal reasons.” sfstandard.com/2026/02/27/...
Indeed!
I hope they make an anime adaptation! A movie is cool and all, but the animation would be sick if it was Trigger, Mappa or Madhouse:)
They just want to see their work read.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?
I haven't seen this reported anywhere: the Tukwila City Council is set to adopt a six month moratorium on any applications for correctional institutions or detention facilities on Monday night.

🔥 REP. @votebo.com MITCHELL: “I just get so sick of over and over the hate… I chose to run for office to help people. I didn’t come here to say who can I poke in the eye today.”

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave
I feel the same. She didn't run on these planks just to betray that trust, did she? God I hope not, but it's looking suss as hell.
I like that answer. Terry Pratchett is an idol for me, just a bit. (Or more) Same category of creative goodness as Mr. Rogers.
