It has been asked elsequote if other colleges would and I can say my alma would have at least entertained the question. It was in the handbook that if you suffered a list of specific tragedies, they'd reimburse you if you had to drop out OR your grades would be frozen if you chose to stay.

It's remarkable (in a very good way) to see an elected member of the Democratic Party saying this. For decades, the Party has treated public higher education as a jobs training program, not a site for cultivating democratic habits of mind. I deeply hope that things are changing.

Just a remember of what rape can entail after the fact: permanent psychological damage. Permanent physical damage and disability. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical care, relocation fees, lost work, lost educational opportunity. A marred reputation. Broken trust, lost relationships.

Sexual victimization history is the best known predictor of a college woman’s grades and one of the best predictors of drop out. It’s also the best predictor of whether a woman who started a male-dominated major like STEM will be able to complete it.

Tangentially, the military has made a service-wide push into using personal phones as work devices, meaning Meta is no doubt ingesting sensitive if not classified/secret data. And I’d be curious what this might mean for Signal.

A key component of the Cambridge Analytica outrage was your friends subjecting you to data theft without your consent or knowledge. Facebook is running the same playbook on your text messages. Even if you’re not on Meta properties, they’re ingesting your interactions.
Aten installed Muse on both his iPhone and a Mac mini that he uses to test out various Al agents and tech. It took Meta a single day to begin "helpfully" pitching article ideas based on texts he'd sent to a podcast co-host.
When he asked Muse how it got the information, it said that it read banners from incoming texts. But that's not true, either.
After doing a little digging, Aten says Muse synced 187,000 lines from his Messages database, despite Full Disk Access being Off.Unless Aten is the most popular person on the face of the planet, I sincerely doubt he'd gotten 187,000 lines of text in roughly 24 hours. What happened is that, without permission, Muse went into the app and downloaded the information.
He had not given Muse permission to access Messages, and full disk access was not enabled. It just went ahead and uploaded those texts anyway.
Muse can take "unexpected actions" indeed.

#Tennis legend Althea Gibson died #OTD in 2003. * First Black player to win a Grand Slam title (1956) & #Wimbledon (1957) * Female Athlete of the Year (AP), 1957 & 1958 * 11 Grand Slam wins * First Black woman to compete on the LPGA Tour, 1964 #SportsHistory
A composite black-and-white image features two historic photographs of Althea Neale Gibson (1927–2003), the trailblazing Black athlete who helped shatter racial barriers in professional sports. On the left, an action shot captures Gibson mid-match on a grass tennis court, charging forward with fierce intensity and physical prowess. She wears a classic, pristine white tennis dress with a pleated skirt billowing around her legs, paired with matching white socks and tennis shoes. Her face is focused in deep concentration as she extends her right arm back, gripping her racket tightly while her left arm balances her athletic frame. An out-of-focus crowd fills the stands in the background. On the right, a triumphant celebration portrait shows Gibson holding the iconic Venus Rosewater Dish after her historic victory at Wimbledon. Shrouded in a heavy white collared track jacket or robe, she beams with an enthusiastic, wide-toothed smile, her short, naturally textured hair neatly styled. In her left hand, she holds a massive, intricately detailed circular silver trophy plate facing the camera, while a massive, vibrant bouquet of celebratory flowers stands at her right hip. An older woman in a wide-brimmed hat smiles warmly from just behind her left shoulder amidst a blurring crowd. The overall mood shifts dynamically from intense, powerful athletic determination to proud, historic joy. This poignant layout encapsulates her barrier-breaking journey to becoming the first Black athlete to win a Grand Slam title.
