The Pac-12 is now down to four members beyond this year: Stanford, California, Oregon State and Washington State.

Niger's civil society mobilizes the nation to fight for freedom from foreign interference
NIAMEY – Niger 's ruling junta and civil society groups called on the nation to mobilize in the capital on Thursday to fight for the country's freedom and push back against foreign interference. “We are talking about the immediate departure of all foreign forces,” Mahaman Sanoussi, interim coordinator for the M62 civil society group that’s organizing the protest, told The Associated Press. In a closed door meeting on Wednesday, dozens of people from civil society organizations, professional groups and trade unions spoke with the coup leaders about their vision for the country. But another civil society member at the same gathering who did not want to be named for security reasons told the AP they left feeling concerned. They had a strong impression that the French military was going to be ousted soon and that members of civil society groups would help the junta do it.

Bitcoin Ordinals Team Launches Nonprofit as Inscriptions Top 21 Million
The team behind Ordinals said on Tuesday that it has created a nonprofit organization to support the development of its protocol for "inscribing" NFT-like assets to the Bitcoin blockchain—right as the total topped 21 million inscriptions to date. The new direction for Ordinals’ team comes after Rodarmor said he’d be taking a step back in May, explaining he couldn’t give Ordinals the attention it deserved. On Tuesday, the total number of Ordinals inscriptions topped 21 million, according to a Dune Analytics dashboard. The experimental class of tokens, built on top of Bitcoin using Ordinals, takes inspiration from Ethereum ERC-20 tokens. But lately, there’s been a palpable decline in activity and trading volume related to Ordinals inscriptions, Ordinally told Decrypt.

Ira Sachs wanted to make 'a film of intimacy.' It got him an NC-17 rating
“I really wanted to make a horny film,” Sachs said in a recent interview from Spain, where he was receiving an award. An NC-17 rating precludes anyone under 17 from being admitted, with or without a parent of guardian. It’s also what films are financed, what films are supported by festivals, what films get bought, what films get shown. For Sachs, “Passages” harkens back to an older, mostly European approach to filmmaking. “It’s also a very funny costume party.”Rogowski likewise finds the NC-17 rating absurd.
