These folks do good work. Everybody, please buy their stuff! Thank You. 😀
Hey kids, we are a small Irish family business.
We make lovely things by hand.
Could you buy something so we can pay for our Christmas packaging?
Thanks a mill.

Dette er og blir for dumt. Disse pepperkakene er ikke noe husholdningene må ha.
Varene husholdninger må ha blir ikke billigere, tvert om blir de dyrere for å hente inn det butikkene taper på unødvendige varer som pepperkaker.

Kai om tilbud: – Fem kroner?!
Julens priskrig er i gang, frontlinjen er i butikkhyllene. Nå har pepperkakene stupt i pris.

I just ran into a new (and impossible) security verification which I guess is being used to train AI, but what the hell.
For the record, the panda in overalls was NOT the correct answer, and the sheep with dots was ALSO not the correct answer.

Hey y’all! With so much going on in the MCYT community this month, I wanted to remind y’all that I have a Google form where y’all can submit clips for me to post! I can’t keep up with everything on my own, so if there’s something you think deserves to be highlighted, let me know!

Put another way, Thiel has been grooming Vance for this for more than a decade. He's also been developing dozens (maybe hundreds?) of other politicians like Blake Masters.
People need to understand that American fascism probably isn't going to stop with Trump. The structures that made Trump are already there and will continue to exist for the foreseeable future.
This might be a longer struggle, and we need to be prepared for it.

Man drove stolen bus from Donegal to Dublin because other bus was full, court hears

Jeg mener jo at _alle_ voksne mennesker med arbeidsevne bør jobbe en stund i serviceyrker. Fuck hæren, la folk jobbe et år i butikkkassa eller en resepsjon, det gir et mye viktigere perspektiv og erfaring. Men at det MÅ skje ved siden av fulltidstudier, bare for å kunne betale husleie? Neitakk
Mulig kontroversielt, men jeg mener at både studenter og elever skal jobbe litt ved siden av studiene/skolen. Fordi man lærer like mye av å gjøre som av teori, og fordi stadig flere opplever overgangen til arbeidslivet som tøff etter lange studieløp. Arbeid er bra for ferdigheter og selvtillit.
Tror de fleste er enige i at det er absurd at medisinstudenter og de som tar PPU og lignende skal jobbe ved siden av. De skal lære for mye og det de skal lære er for viktig. Men hvorfor mener vi som samfunn at statsvitenskap, materialkjemi eller idéhistorie er så mye mindre viktig?

Just finished office hours and when I tell you every single student started their meeting by saying how excited they are about Zohran. It’s been a while since I’ve seen them so hopeful. One student said “I needed a win.”

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.
Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

It’s hard to hear about everyone. But that’s the challenge we have to take on if we don’t want to be left with a scattered & biased perspective of the world.
If we want to see what on earth is going on, we have to tell *all* the stories. This is possible.
Telling many stories at once is statistics

The limits of our personal experience and the value of statistics 🧵
How many people do you know by name?
One study found that the average American knows 611.
In a world of 8 billion, that’s less than 0.00001%. A 100,000th of a percent.
We can’t see much of the world through our direct experience

Jeg møter to typer mennesker når jeg diskuterer "de unge" med folk på egen alder og eldre:
A)"dette gjorde livet surt for meg, la oss sørge for at ungdommen slipper det"
B) "JEG klarte meg jo til tross for at dette gjorde livet surt, altså er det en VIKTIG og RIKTIG ting for ungdommen å gå gjennom"

Observasjoner av samtidige fra gubbe, 56:
Det skjer noe med folk etter fylte 50. Plutselig går det opp for deg at du aldri kommer til å realisere noen av drømmene dine som du trodde bare var satt på pause. At du ikke kommer til å gjøre noen karriere, og i beste fall er stuck der du er.
