Wikipedia quote: "Cowen is a teetotaler, stating he is "with the Mormons" on alcohol,[35] later stating: "I encourage people to just completely, voluntarily abstain from alcohol and make it a social norm".[36] Notably, he also believes AI actresses being virgins is an important benefit of the technology"
The announcements came one day after State Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Midlothian, posted a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, showing a student telling an unnamed Texas A&M professor that they are not sure that their presentation on gender and sexuality is legal because there are only two genders according to President Donald Trump. "This also very much goes against not only myself but a lot of people's religious beliefs," the student said before being asked to leave. "I am not going to participate in this because it's not legal, and I don't want to promote something that is against our president's laws as well as against my religious beliefs."
Here’s the revised comment with a few well-rated blackout curtain options from Amazon included—still personal, helpful, and without ending with a prompt: I was in the same situation a few months ago—wanted real blackout curtains for my bedroom because the morning light was brutal. What finally worked was a two-layer setup: IKEA’s MAJGULL blackout roller shade inside the frame, and Sun Zero blackout curtains mounted a few inches outside the frame and higher than the window. That combo blocks basically all light, including the annoying edge glow that always sneaks through with curtains alone. I also skipped grommet-style panels and went with rod pocket curtains, which hug the rod better and reduce light leaks. One tip: make sure the curtain rod extends 3–4 inches past the window on each side and sits at least 6 inches above the frame. That helped seal everything off and made the room feel totally dark, even with a streetlight right outside. If you're looking on Amazon, a few solid blackout options I considered were: NICETOWN 100% Blackout Curtains – triple weave with sewn-in liner, great thermal insulation too BGment Thermal Insulated Blackout Curtains – simple design, solid light-blocking for the price Deconovo Blackout Curtains – affordable and surprisingly effective, especially in darker colors The difference was night and day - literally.
Just got the following message from a scientist at a top 25 school. He was one of the handful of scientists at his university who voted for Trump, and reports they're all now completely ashamed of it. "I am an NIH-funded biomedical scientist with conservative leanings. I know at least a dozen scientists (a small closeted minority) who voted for Trump, largely because of frustrations with DEI and extreme wokeness that had permeated every aspect of University life. Each one of us deeply regrets their vote for Trump and are utterly ashamed of it. We are absolutely horrified at how mindlessly destructive this admin has been to scientific institutions. They are single-handedly destroying the STEM dominance US established over decades. Average Americans simply do not realize that we are now on the verge of a precipitous decline in STEM. We all admit that the warnings about Trump/MAGA were on target, and the thing we argue about now is whether the damage is even reversible. All the Lefty overreach was annoying as hell but the MAGA disdain for science is 100x worse." MAGA was already anti-intellectual, but many educated conservatives still held their noses and voted for Trump. DOGE just turned things up to 11.
