@capmetroatx.bsky.social how does getting rid of the bus fareboxes work with the UT passes
It's a bit odd to go see Band of Skulls in 2026 but here we are

This is DOE-side, but I attribute a good chunk of Fermilab's loss of direction to chasing after this stuff instead of its core mission
Sorry to be That Guy but this process has absolutely been a bipartisan one, politicians have been on board for years with shoveling tons of money at "AI" and "quantum" by taking it from general research
The National Initiatives have finally eaten everything, congratulations
The Pitch already tried that
A tribute to the roots of ATX. π€

I would like to have a new HTTP status code in the 4xx series, "Dumb Request: the client request is technically valid, but the server is not going to do anything about it"
modern physics class today: COSMOLOGY SURPRISE
The University of Texas Systemβs Board of Regents unanimously approved a rule requiring its universities to ensure students can graduate without studying βunnecessary controversial subjects,β despite warnings it could leave them less prepared for the real world.
To be fair he is apparently underperforming his EPL xG quite a lot

The median college physics student doesn't accept the Schroedinger equation following careful consideration of the evidence, they accept it because a) why would faculty lie to them b) it's on the exam
The thing that always gets me about "there should be no indoctrination in classrooms!" claims is that STEM education is far more indoctrinatory than the humanities
AAUP President Todd Wolfson issued the following statement in response to Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt's Executive Order issued today immediately eliminating academic tenure at the stateβs public regional universities and community colleges.
Curling: an exquisite game of strategy, physics, and control. In each end teams take turns sending stones across the ice, at the conclusion of which both teams have scored 0
Yet another example of predators hiding in academia.
