@Baylor 's retreat on that $643K LGBTQ inclusion grant exposes what we all suspected – zero academic freedom if it conflicts with donors & policies. With tuition skyrocketing as you siphon student financial futures, you’re a commercial pariah with no integrity. Money > mission.

Baylor shielded rapists, covered up assaults, and let a basketball player murder his teammate before acting. But a grant to study LGBTQ inclusion? Immediate cancellation. The message is clear: violence is tolerable, belonging isn’t. Don’t pretend this is Christian.

@PeteButtigieg I’ve only ever donated to one politician: you. Your endorsement of Levar Stoney—divisive, ineffective, and rejected by Richmond voters—was a serious mistake. It felt like politics-as-usual, not the Pete I believed in.

I supported you because you rejected the usual political playbook—backing people for power, not principle. Stoney does not represent your values. His tenure alienated Richmond. That endorsement felt insulting. Please acknowledge the mistake and apologize.

Building a ChatGPT-like LLM might be easier than anyone thought. At @Databricks, we tuned a 2-year-old open source model to follow instructions in just 3 hours, and are open sourcing the code. We think this tech will quickly be democratized. databricks.com/blog/2023/03/…

@BlizzardCS The situation affecting console servers is unacceptable. This is the third weekend in a row that servers have been down. The game is unplayable in its current state and should be removed from online stores. #D2R #D2Refund @NintendoAmerica @NVCpodcast
