Not doing any research on them because they were skinfolk is no way to go through life.

Kids deserve a whole lot better than being the subjects of half-assed social experiments.

Sadism isn't education. At least these kids weren't physically injured. Progress.

My first paper went well today. Unlike my classmates, my professor was literally like "I don't have any notes to give you beyond small grammar I'm not too concerned about, you did a good job" and then started telling me specific things he really liked like the amount of detailed examples I gave.

I finished writing the paper, with his approval over the final two paragraphs, by like halfway through class and just kind of sat around making finicky edits to kill time while he helped the other two students who were still working on their papers.

I haven't written a college paper since I was probably about 25, back when I used to make a bit of beer money for sometimes churning them out for student friends despite being a dropout myself, so I'm pretty pleased it only took about an hour out of my day to pop out about 3 pages for my first paper of my own college experience today. Will still have to do a couple more in class this week and still need to proof and edit in the morning before I turn in these body paragraphs but it is was a pretty smooth and easy start.

Explanation:
Is our universe haunted? It might look that way on this dark matter map. The gravity of unseen dark matter is the leading explanation for why galaxies rotate so fast, why galaxies orbit clusters so fast, why gravitational lenses so strongly deflect light, and how visible matter is distributed. The featured image from the American Museum of Natural History's Hayden Planetarium Space Show, Dark Universe, highlights one example of how pervasive dark matter might haunt our universe. In this frame from a detailed computer simulation, complex filaments of dark matter, shown in black, are strewn about the universe like spider webs, while the relatively rare clumps of familiar baryonic matter are colored orange. These simulations are good statistical matches to astronomical observations. In what is perhaps a scarier turn of events, dark matter -- although quite strange and in an unknown form -- is no longer thought to be the strangest source of gravity in the universe. That honor now falls to dark energy, a more uniform source of repulsive gravity that seems to now dominate the expansion of the entire universe.

Explanation:
This Rosetta spacecraft selfie was snapped on October 7th, 2014. At the time the comet-chasing spacecraft was about 472 million kilometers from planet Earth, but only 16 kilometers from the surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Looming beyond the spacecraft near the top of the frame, dust and gas stream away from the comet's curious double-lobed nucleus. Bright sunlight glints off one of Rosetta's 14 meter long solar arrays. In fact, two exposures, one short and one long, were combined to record the dramatic high contrast scene using the CIVA camera system on Rosetta's still-attached Philae lander. Its chosen primary landing site was on the visible hemisphere of the smaller lobe of the nucleus. This was the last image from Philae's camera before the lander separated from Rosetta on November 12. Shortly after separation Philae took another image looking back toward the orbiter and began its descent to the nucleus of the comet.

If there is one good thing about AI proliferation attacking education and the creative industry, it's that we're starting to question what the truly important part of many activities is.

Some vendors could not do business with families using Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Account program after a reported cyberattack, according to state Sen. Shawnna Bolick. The program lets families use public education funds for tuition, tutoring, curricula and supplies.

Whether transactions have fully resumed remains unclear, as does the number of affected vendors and families. The affected operator and attack method remain unidentified, and possible student-data exposure is unresolved.
