AI Hater. If AI has one hater, I'm that hater. If AI has no haters, I am dead. I like fashion, bread, and books.

The department’s analysis was also based on previous data that won’t be used to implement the final rule. But it suggests that a range of programs at multiple institutions would be on the chopping block. (The department's analysis uses fields of study rather than exact program titles.) The programs projected to fail, if the federal test were to take effect today instead of this summer, include Ball State University’s bachelor’s degree in dance, Indiana University at Bloomington’s bachelor’s in music, Ivy Tech Community College’s associate degree in library and archives assisting, IU Northwest and Purdue University Northwest’s bachelor’s degrees in English language and literature—general, Purdue Northwest’s bachelor’s in computer software and media applications, the University of Southern Indiana’s master’s degree in mental and social health services and allied professions, and Ivy Tech’s associate in teacher education and professional development–specific levels and methods.

Screenshot of Wikipedia article on the fall of the Roman Empire A synthesis by Harper (2017) gave four decisive turns of events in the transformation from the height of the empire to the early Middle Ages: The Antonine Plague that ended a long period of demographic and economic expansion, weakening but not toppling the empire. The Crisis of the Third Century, in which natural climate change, renewed pandemic disease, and internal and external political instability led to the near-collapse of the imperial system. Its reconstitution included a new basis for the currency, an expanded professional government apparatus, emperors further distanced from their people, and, shortly, the rise of Christianity, a proselytizing, exclusive religion that anticipated the imminent end of the world. The military and political failure of the West, in which mass migration from the Eurasian steppe overcame and dismembered the western part of an internally weakened empire. The eastern empire rebuilt itself again and began the reconquest of the West. In the lands around the Mediterranean the Late Antique Little Ice Age and the Plague of Justinian created one of the worst environmental cataclysms in recorded history. The imperial system crumbled in the next couple of generations and then lost vast territories to the armies of Islam, a new proselytizing, exclusive religion that also looked forward to an imminent end time. The diminished and impoverished Byzantine rump state survived amid perpetual strife between and among the followers of Christianity and Islam.[16]

< JD Vance Active 22h ago But I'm not surprised by Trump's rise, and I think the entire party has only itself to blame. We are, whether we like it or not, the party of lower-income, lower- education white people, and I have been saying for a long time that we need to offer those people SOMETHING (and hell, maybe even expand our appeal to working class black people in the process) or a demagogue would. We are now at that point. Trump is the fruit of the party's collective neglect. 3) | go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn't be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he's America's Hitler. How's that for discouraging?
When we decline to speak ill of the dead, it’s because we have compassion for the living. In this respect, I am sorry for Kirk’s children. I don’t know if Kirk was a good father, but if he was, that does little to mitigate the damage he did to other people’s children. I can only hope for the sake of his kids that they have role models who will teach them that it is wrong to profit off the dehumanization of people because of who they are.
Facebook screenshot of a comment reading you know exactly what I mean. A guy who dresses as a girl and wants to use a girls bathroom, any one who uses more than one pronoun, any one of the hundreds of thousands that think screaming at people to accept them because they are seeking attention and being "queer" is the easiest thing they can come up with...and the list goes on. My partner and I of 30 years have watched those pink haired rainbow flag waving goofballs get people, who had become accepting, all up in arms again.
Tweet from Laura Loomer: I don't ever want to hear @charliekirk11 claim he is pro-Trump ever again. After this weekend, I'd say he has revealed himself as political opportunist and I have had a front row seat to witness the mental gymnastics these last 10 years. Lately, Charlie has decided to behave like a charlatan, claiming to be pro-Trump one day while he stabs Trump in the back the next. TPUSA was only able to thrive thanks to the generosity of President Trump. On the one year anniversary of the assassination attempt on Trump's life, Charlie hosted @ComicDaveSmith at @TPUSA's SAS conference where Dave Smith was able to speak to a bunch of conservative youth at an organization that claims to be Pro-Trump. 3 weeks ago, Dave Smith called for President Trump to be IMPEACHED and REMOVED from office over his decision to blow up Iran's nuclear facilities. Charlie played both sides of the Iran issue on his show as we all saw, because he wants to play to both sides of the aisle. The honorable thing to do is to have a position and actually defend it to the death instead of flip flopping.

The example of the New Deal also underscores the necessity for the American left to build the type of mass base that can authorize significant shifts in the constitutional order. Even before Trump’s current assault, that order had failed as a mechanism for addressing the interlocked crises of our era: economic, ecological, racial. Any real prospect of positive change will require a durable majority – even if it falls short of the supermajorities we saw in the first half of the twentieth century. This is an essential prerequisite for norm-breaking from the left, but on behalf of democracy.
