Excellent op ed from our own Mark Levin on UChicago's deal with Anthropic:
Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote. “I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’” “I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”

“No one has edited The Canterbury Tales with more care,” says Christina von Nolcken, associate professor of English, of Edith Rickert, PhD 1899. Rickert was a novelist, medievalist, and code breaker. She’s now the subject of a new biography by von Nolcken. bit.ly/4b4qSZi
It’s Women’s History Month. Rather than post factoids I’m just gonna post a picture and a name and y’all can google why they’re important. Knowledge for you without a lot of free labor from me. Win win. Today’s prompt is Grace Lee Boggs
It’s a shame more people don’t recognize who he was and or his impact.
Favorite line from this week's Drag Race was Mia Starr explaining her bad performance by saying "I am a product of the Florida educational system. I was a child left behind."
