Virginia Tech has announced they're ending not just legacy admission preference, but also early decision. (Early decision applicants get admitted at higher rates at many schools than regular decision applicants, and they're an easier path for families wealthy enough not to need to compare financial aid offers.) They''ll continue to offer nonbinding early action: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2023/08/01/virginia-tech-ends-legacy-admissions-and-early-decision

@sarajw This blows my mind. Imagine making infrastructure so car dependent that you make walking illegal.

It's surreal: Infrared light reveals hidden portrait beneath 1943 René Magritte painting. Research is part of broader collaborative project to study Magritte's materials and methods. https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/08/infrared-light-reveals-hidden-portrait-beneath-1943-rene-magritte-painting/

I thought you might need to see this right now.

Emerging from the Indiana Tropical Rain Forest, the young couple enter the derelict building, seeking shelter from the incessant rains. It was hot, but they built a fire anyway, hoping to dry off. No-one would ever read those books anyway.
The young man stared into the fire, seemingly lost in thought. Presently, he spoke.
"We got rid of all of *those* people, just like Jesus wanted, but still God is punishing us with this rain. What more can we do to make Him happy?"
The young woman said nothing. Females weren't allowed to speak.

It is better to be slapped with the truth, than kissed with a lie.

A world where superstition is real, a world where magic is natural, a world where ghosts and demons exist, a world where alternative medicine works better than real medicine-
that world is a LESS interesting world.
The real world has rules that impose constraints on what is possible, so when something amazing happens, it happens in spite of those constraints.
If anything was possible, nothing would be awesome, and that would make the world very boring.
An ordinary garden is wondrous; imagining that mystical fairies live in it would be gilding the lily.

The train pulls up and all the people get off:

NO BAIL NO BAIL NO BAIL!

IN was the 1st state in the nation to pass an extreme abortion ban stripping a woman's fundamental right to chart her own healthcare course.

Reversing a 50-year precedent created confusion, fear, and uncertainty.

Hoosier women deserve better.

As governor, I will fight for you. ⭐️

So with evidence mounting that AI will just make things up rather than admit it doesn't know, I think it's safe to use male pronouns.

If Homer Simpson were a Democratic congressman from Springfield, Ohio, he'd be
