It’s amazing how much of our society is controlled by weird guys in a constant state of existential panic over their deeply held belief that Romans, yes those Romans, didn’t fuck enough.
NEW VIDEO! Investigating Elon Musk's very weird claims (based off of no evidence) about the Fall of Rome and birth rates led me down a very strange rabbit hole that shows how his catastrophic view of history informs the decisions he makes

Please stop doing this, it discriminates against students who need laptops. I don’t care if, on average, people learn better writing by hand. The goal of education is to ensure all students learn the best way they, as individuals, can. Taking away laptops is no different than taking away eyeglasses.
It's time to remove laptops from classrooms.
24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images.

Stiles is excellent IMHO, esp getting kicked out of the legislature for speaking the truth yesterday. But the Liberals are just AWOL & useless. Crombie could go scorched earth on her way out but nothing. Just total duds. Explains how they picked 2 Ford-lite leaders in a row. Will they do a 3rd?
“What’s disturbing about the scandal though, is how blatant it is. Political appointees are handing out hundreds of millions of dollars from a public slush fund to organizations that are either close to the government or that hire the right political insiders.”

It suggests Ford has established a system where public money is being handed out not based on need or merit but on who you know or who you pay

Pretty sure the swastika has not been “potentially” divisive since 1920.
Just a reminder that I'm happy to speak to any journalist, or to recommend other scholars to do so, about why prejudice and "potentially divisive symbols" like swastikas (!) are so harmful to morale and cohesion in militaries
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

When you ask a pedophile to explain the Butterfly Effect.
A teenager in Florida with a homeless parent wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men, setting off a chain of events that would have a dramatic impact on her life and help upend the political career of Representative Matt Gaetz. nyti.ms/49PSkL9

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Starting to consider the possibility that AppleTV produced an entirely different Slow Horses and are streaming it exclusively to me, because I seem to be the only person on Earth who thinks this show is terrible.
