But this isn’t just about professors; it’s about all of us. This is the most flagrant attack on higher education in my lifetime. Why are politicians reducing public colleges and universities to vehicles of state propaganda? Why are self-proclaimed proponents of free speech turning around and using state repression to enforce speech codes on our campuses? Why can’t we speak openly about our social world in sociology classes? Why are unqualified appointees from the business world dictating to Ph.D.-holding academics how they should teach and which textbooks they must use?

For several days in a row, the White House has posted videos on X of the U.S.’s strikes on Iran spliced with footage taken from video games and action movies, in a dystopic form of propaganda that treats the war like a game or like social media content to be mined.

“America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel.” McGinnis is then seen in a struggle with officers near the doorway with Sheehy stepping in.

Simplification is the game with art. And I wanted to do something with more detail than I normally include. Looks like a real face.

The HUR released documentation showing the use of high-end Ukrainian hardware, such as the “Bohdana” self-propelled howitzer, to maintain fire control over the sector and clear populated areas. These combined efforts allowed the Ukrainian forces to intercept the initiative in defensive battles and secure advantageous positions.

I used Rosanna Pansino’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe and they turned out really good!

Studio Khara accidentally included high-quality footage of the full anime film in its copyright takedown emails sent to those who shared the camrip, such as Chibi Reviews on X (formerly Twitter).

I thought about something interesting. Emoji art, make art using emojis only. You’re allowed to stretch and resize, and color the emojis. cut up emojis to make new emojis and stuff. You could find SVGs of emojis here https://icon-sets.iconify.design/noto/?keyword=noto

I made bread for a few weeks, but the bread never rose properly. It was always rather flat and dense, and while tasting good, never really hit that spot. Today, I pulled the first really fluffy bread out of the oven and it turned out great. Really happy with it.

Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel’s water comes from desalination plants, and now we’ve given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

The price of oil surged higher and showed no signs of halting its rapid climb a week after the U.S. and Israel launched major attacks on Iran that escalated into a war in the Middle East.
