We are unveiling "Blurred Realities," our latest exhibition from the CoLab Studio in our main gallery. "Blurred Realities" invites you to examine the dilemmas tied to dis/mis/information, artificial intelligence, and shifting perceptions of truth. Come and see, open through July 18, 2026!

An MSU student employee wearing a black MSU Museum t-shirt holds a laptop as she shows a visitor how to work an interactive exhibit in "Blurred Realities." In front of them, multiple screens hang around a bed with grey covers and pillow.Two MSU Museum visitors in winter coats look into small scopes built into red frames on the wall.An MSU Museum visitor stands next to a bed with green covers, examining colorful prints made by Artificial Intelligence. The wall behind the prints is deep purple. Underneath the bed are crumped up clothes, a skateboard, and an orange rug.Two MSU student visitors lean close to examine a small tank of flowing water on a pedestal as part of an exhibit. Behind them on the wall, an image appearing to be a sunset but is actually from the small tank that they are examining.

The @acls1919.bsky.social, AHA, & @modernlanguage.bsky.social filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the unlawful dismantling of the NEH: "Congress believed NEH to be essential to the functioning of our democracy, & the public interest would be served by honoring that determination."

Another reason to 1) buy paper copies of books from your local bookseller and 2) check out e-books from your local library instead of buying them from Amazon. lithub.com/next-week-am...

Next week, Amazon is stripping away your ability to download your ebooks.

Starting next Wednesday, February 26th, Amazon isn’t going to let users download the ebooks they’ve purchased, forcing users to keep everything within the corporation’s proprietary ecosystem.…

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

WIRED is tracking numerous reports of Musk-related shenanigans across the federal govt. We're looking for fed employees open to discussing the activity they're seeing or to help confirm other reports. Anonymity offered. Please use @signal.org (contact dell.3030). Do not use work networks/devices.

The National Transportation Safety Board telling media they can only receive updates via the government-aligned website of the oligarch who is running the administration. The government helping to make X relevant is one of a myriad of ways Musk's public role boosts his private businesses.

NTSB safety updates only posted on X

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs. Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

SUBJECT: Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs 'The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar. In Fiscal Year 2024. of the nearly $10 trillion that the Federal Government spent, more than $3 trillion was Federal financial assistance, such as grants and loans. Career and political appointees in the Executive Branch have a duty to align Federal spending and action with the will of the American people as expressed through Presidential priorities. Financial assistance should be dedicated to advancing Administration priorities, focusing taxpayer dollars to advance a stronger and safer America, eliminating the financial burden of inflation for citizens, unleashing American energy and manufacturing, ending wokeness" and the weaponization of government, promoting efficiency in government, and Making America Healthy Again. The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve. This memorandum requires Federal agencies to identify and review all Federal financial assistance programs and supporting activities consistent with the President's policies and requirements. For example, during the initial days of his Administration, President Donald J Trump issued a series of executive orders to protect the American people and safeguard valuable taxpayer resources, including Protecting the American People Against Invasion (Jan. 20, 2025). Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid (Jan 20, 2025), Putting America First in International Environmental Agreements (Jan. 20, 2025). Unleashing American Energy (Jan. 20. 2025). Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing (Jan. 20.

The Los Angeles wildfires are at risk of contaminating the city's water supply, with ash, pathogens, toxic chemicals, flame retardants, and even melted pipes able to enter reservoirs and aqueducts. Several communities have advised residents not to drink tap water.

I am so sad to hear that Inspiration Point shelter, which was built by volunteers, has burnt down. My dissertation examined the history and archaeology of Mount Lowe in the San Gabriels. Nearly the entire neighborhood and landscape is gone. A number of our friends have lost homes. #eatonfire
