I don’t own individual stocks, and I won’t own them as governor. The only thing I am invested in is lowering costs for Ohioans. Vivek Ramaswamy has over $5 million invested in the data center industry and millions more in many other industries that Ohio’s governor would be in charge of regulating.

People in blue states loves to shit on places like Ohio. But Ohio gave you Rep. Joyce Beatty. I am so proud to be represented by her in Congress.

I've spent years arguing against so-called Generational Theory (which ain't a theory, btw), but perhaps now I'll just ask, when you say boomer, you talking about Dolly, Tim, or that other one born in 1946? Explain to me again how they're all the same because they were born the same year.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

So the official Republican stance is that domestic violence and child abuse are family matters and that everyone outside the family should just turn a blind eye and let a man pump himself full of T and beat his wife and child. Got it. The bear. Every time.

Mail-in voting is under attack. Here's what you can do
The USPS is proposing a rule that would require states to share information about voters who request mail-in or absentee ballots for federal elections.

This morning my 93-yr-old mom had a catastrophic stroke. After 20 yrs vanquishing many serious illnesses and injuries, this is it. She won’t recover, but we’re waiting for my sister to fly in. While we’re in limbo I haven’t told friends yet, but it helps saying it to anonymous strangers here.

UC Berkeley Law creates new AI policy that bans AI for "conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit" or exams because "thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education)." That's what I'm talking about.
Rule:
The use of AI is prohibited for aid in conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising,
translating, or editing any work submitted for credit. AI use is prohibited for any use for
any purpose in any exam situation. Students may not upload course
materials—including assignments, readings, slides, class recordings, or other class
content—into generative AI systems. AI can be used for research on papers ONLY for the
limited purpose of identifying sources, such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources.
Students are responsible for the accuracy of their research and all other aspects of their
submitted work. Citations to sources that do not exist will raise a presumption of
prohibited AI use

Today is both really sad and really marvelous. It is exactly 11,000 Days since the last mass shooting in a UK School. Handguns were banned as had Assault Rifles a decade earlier. With a popultaion 1/5th that of the US. Annually the UK has 800 murders of which 40 are with guns.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Finally some clarity! So as long as I don't have my students change Churchill into a beaver, I needn't worry about Ohio's new law on what we can teach, right? Right? I'm assuming we can still teach about Liz Truss and the Head of Lettuce, though, since that is NOT the definition of woke.
