The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests
—not be a tool of the federal govt.

Virginia Senate leaders express “unequivocal opposition” to Compact
The letter calls upon the University to immediately cease consideration of the Compact, and if not, the state will work to negatively impact the University’s funding.

The Trump administration recently dropped its
National Security Strategy
and, like all things Trump,
it’s equal parts nonsense and vitriol.
It signals a self-defeating retreat from any sort of global leadership
and the regime’s open promotion of white nationalism at home and abroad.
The document is extremely light on the “strategy” part,
but is chock full of naked racism and Great Replacement rhetoric.
If you fed a low-rent knockoff version o…

We're the baddies now. Our new Security Strategy shows it.
It's a gift to the Kremlin and a middle finger to our erstwhile allies.

Playing games on Linux has never been easier, yet sometimes things are just baffling.
For instance: installing Wasteland2 DC from GOG with Lutris using the native Linux version completed fine, but the game refused to start. Lutris logs showed it exited without any error, with code 0. Usually a library, or 2 ... or 10 is missing. But this time there was no clue as to what went wrong as `ldd` showed all of them in place.
Until I found this log:

Patterns in the Transition From Founder-Leadership to Community Governance of Open Source
Open digital public infrastructure needs community management to ensure accountability, sustainability, and robustness. Yet open-source projects often rely on centralized decision-making, and the determinants of successful community management remain unclear. We analyze 637 GitHub repositories to trace transitions from founder-led to shared governance. Specifically, we document trajectories to community governance by extracting institutional roles, actions, and deontic cues from version-control…

On Thursday, Donald Trump issued a new “domestic terrorism” memorandum
targeting voices and views he dislikes
under the guise of addressing political violence.
That move came hours before news broke that
his hand-picked and recently installed federal prosecutor in the D.C. suburbs of Virginia
sought and obtained an indictment against James Comey,
the former FBI director who Trump has declared to be one of his enemies.
What we are seeing now is extre…

Trump the tyrant is on full display — but his acting out highlights how weak he is
Trump got his Comey indictment Thursday and issued a memo directing "domestic terrorism" investigations. And yet, both provided more evidence that Trump is losing.

A White House official told CNN that the event is intended as a “show of force of what the new military now looks like” during Donald Trump’s second presidency.
“It’s about getting the horses into the stable and whipping them into shape,” the military official familiar with the planning told CNN.
“And the guys with the stars on their shoulders make for a better audience from an optics standpoint.
This is a showcase for Hegseth to tell them: get on board, or potentially ha…
