Jay Thurber ShowHive mind: Do I know anyone from the #CarnegieMellon class of 1996 who's coming to Pittsburgh for their reunion next month?
Huh. Oct. 19, 1950. I had no idea Ike had ever spoken at Carnegie Tech in #Pittsburgh. The speech was carried live on Mutual Radio.
"Although this suggestion is repeatedly made, none has yet explained how war prevents war ... war begets conditions that beget further war," Ike said.
NEW YEAR'S EVE BLAST!
At 9 p.m. Dec. 31, I'll be taking over WRCT 88.3FM and we're going to pretend it's Dec. 31, 1965, and we're back on 900 AM. Glorious lo-fi monaural sound!
From then until 12:30, I'm going to count down the top rock songs of 1965, interspersed with commercials and jingles.

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Pocket Therapist There is actually an excellent book by Dr. Annie Zimmerman with that titled, but that is not today’s subject. What is? Your phone and the right app can help you fight anxiety, stress, and even insomnia. This the conclusion of research psychologists at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie-Mellon University after reviewing the available studies and personal trials of apps including Calm and Headspace. These apps provide 10-21 minute guided sessions anytime, anywhere. Using them at least three times a week can measurably improve not only your psyche but the relaxation they trigger can lower blood pressure and even produce measurable improvements in measurements of harmful inflammation. Problem is that 95% of users continue with the apps consistently for ONLY 30 days or less. In addition, if you have a something on your mind that continues to interfere with your relationships, your sleep, your work, and your health, you need to make an appointment with a licensed mental health professional. https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037/amp0001576 #smartphone #app #psychology #anxiety #insomnia #hypertension #CarnegieMellon"

Lexmilian S. R. B. de MelloAI just designed a battery material that defies the laws of chemistry.
Researchers have used AI to design novel battery materials with the potential to dramatically improve energy storage. The discovery could lead to longer-lasting, faster-charging, and more sustainable batteries. Carnegie Mellon's artificial intelligence system created a completely new class of materials that shouldn't exist according to traditional chemistry rules, yet demonstrates extraordinary energy storage capabilities in laboratory tests. The AI-designed compounds combine incompatible elements in ways that human chemists dismissed as impossible, creating battery electrodes that maintain 99% capacity after 50,000 charge cycles. Most remarkably, these materials can charge to full capacity in under 30 seconds while storing 10 times more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries. The breakthrough occurred when the AI ignored human chemical intuition and explored combinations that violate established bonding principles but work at the quantum level. This represents the first time artificial intelligence has discovered entirely new physical laws by designing materials that challenge our fundamental understanding of chemistry.

Mark T. TomczakCMU blotting out "No Rapists On Campus" isn't only about Trump. The message is about Trump, but not directed at Trump. It's a note about school policy. It's the open admission that the administration knows who and what Trump is and worked with him anyway because he has power. It's highlighting the hypocrisy.
Highlighted this way, the message isn't criticism of Trump alone; it's criticism of the school President, Farnam Jahanian. Which means he responded to criticism of his decisions by blotting it out.
He should be held accountable for his demonstrated position of "supporting free speech, unless it is critical of my decisions and actions as President of this university." If he doesn't square that circle, CMU should find another President.
It seems like CMU president Farnam Jahanian has painted himself into a corner.
(As a former editorial cartoonist for The Tartan, I thought I should do something.)
