Pavel@spavel.bsky.social · 2w agokinda miss my favorite pastime: going through the entirety of testudo, my school’s course registration system, and seeing literally every single department’s course offerings. the thrill of seeing an Interesting Class and Taking it
Pretty concerning that this is increasingly becoming a tactic of the elite class to go after journalistic outlets by trying to sue them to death

the radio / sound exhibit at cooper hewitt is sublime. more than the objects themselves, the labeling and arrangement of those objects was so beautiful! and those blue tables… also, got to see some of my inspiration for my digital decay thesis for grad school in person!
finding out that Nan Goldin was born in Silver Spring, Maryland has somewhat rocked my world……

going to be using “made up words from consulting firms” a lot
Nick Sousanis@nsousanis.bsky.social · 5mo agoall of this. when my uni announced our 4 pillars I just about choked: ai, careers, curriculum of the future (?!), & student success - nothing about learning, growth. Nothing about our community. Just made up words from consulting firms. We're throwing away what we could be to check off ticks...
wish i had this during the comic building assignment of HCI in grad school
Kieron Gillen@kierongillen.bsky.social · 5mo agoJoe Quesada has been doing absolute nuts and bolts comic storytelling in his newsletter for a few months now, and they're really absolutely great stuff. You've likely heard me say Size Is Meaning, but he hits the ideas a lot harder and wider in this one.

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.
![Screenshot of Notes app note with excerpted transcript of deposition: "Lawyer: Do you have an understanding as you sit here today of what DEI means?
DOGE boy: Yeah.
Lawyer: So what's your understanding of what it means?
DOGE boy: It is exactly what was written in the EO [Executive Order]…
Lawyer: I’m asking very specifically about your present understanding of DEI. Do you have a present understanding of DEI?
DOGE boy: Yeah.
Lawyer: Okay. Can you explain what that present understanding is?
DOGE boy: Um, well, it is just easier for me to be referencing back to the EO.
Lawyer: Are you refusing to answer the question?
DOGE boy: I'm not refusing to answer the question. I just feel that referencing back to the verbatim executive order was the best way for us to capture all of the DEI language….
Lawyer: This is a deposition. I'm asking you questions. You're under oath and you're required to answer them. So what is your understanding of what DEI means?
DOGE boy: Well I think I would say again that I would go back to the EO to make sure I'm capturing enough. I don't feel comfortable saying a high level overview because it is such a big bucket, and there's just a lot of pieces of the puzzle there.
Lawyer: What's a part of the bucket?
DOGE boy: Um, gender fluidity. Um, sort of promoting like promoting subsets of LGBTQ plus that might alienate another part of a community. Um, again, it was just easier for us to reference back into the EO."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vv5kbnbll4xx6jhrfu3lp7lg/bafkreic2sesy5km3fnmfbjk3sge4n4rjqhvi2jnl5xcxx34e76x6jp6w6q)
Lisa Marie Rhody@lmrhody.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...
The idea is like grass. It craves light, likes crowds, thrives on crossbreeding, grows better for being stepped on.
