“A Harvard faculty member who requested anonymity so that he could speak openly told me he worried that the elimination of the center could be seen as part of a broader trend of ‘real boosterism’ of AI on campus—one that students feel acutely.” www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

That time a few weeks ago when I was packing for New Zealand and apparently forgot where I was going bc I asked my host/friend if I should pack a clear bag. She had no idea what I was talking about
Screenshot of a WhatsApp message asking, "Are we going anywhere with a clear bag policy?" The reply says "Nope."

From @richardstone.bsky.social a bit of context on the neighborhood that will be most affected by the Blueprint data center in Taylor, TX austinfreepress.org/promises-pro...

Promises, Promises: History of neglect makes Taylor neighborhood skeptical of data center
Some residents of Taylor’s Southside view a proposed data center as just the latest chapter in a history of disinvestment, displacement and unmet promises.

These are all so damn good @wendiaarons.bsky.social "Josh Mandler, who was tasked with chasing a bat out of the garage, even though he has zero wildlife-wrangling experience and was just as freaked out as everyone else."

Who funded every business venture Elon Musk has launched? US taxpayers, involuntarily. What have they gotten from the investment? Nothing whatsoever.

Maybe Big Shot Bob & co. on a wrinkled, fuzzy tee will bring us the luck we need for Game 5. Go Spurs Go🙏🏼🕯️🤞🏼

My Mom loved her bling and her Spurs. This shirt of hers worked its magic when I wore it Monday for Game 3, so I'm bringing it back for Game 4. GSG!💎

Tonight's look is vintage Spurs for Game 2🤞🏼
San Antonio Spurs 1999 NBA Finals Championship tee (the year they beat the NY Knicks in 5 games). The tee has the team logo as well as theme park caricature-esque drawings of team members including David Robinson, Avery Johnson, Steve Kerr, Malik Rose ,and Tim Duncan.

Data center developers are more frequently choosing rural, unincorporated areas like Hood County because it’s an easier path to build, experts say. In Texas, counties typically don’t have the power to block development — unlike city officials who wield zoning authority.

Kassi Solberg has demanded information about a Houston company’s plan to build a behemoth 5,000-acre A.I. data center campus near her rural property in Broadview, Montana. She is trying to stop it, or at least slow it down, until some questions are answered. nyti.ms/49rracH

Took a friend visiting Austin from out of state to the LBJ Library yesterday and we kind of got whiplash being immersed in the narrative of THAT kind of leadership. Bring back presidents who have worked in the helping professions prior to their political careers.
LBJ Library and Museum display of a debate club banquet program from May 23, 1931. The museum artifact label says "Lyndon Johnson was the coach of the debate team at Sam Houston High School in Houston, TX in 1931."
