Part of his political genius there. He claims victory no matter what, and his millions of cronies set out to show what a winner he is. Meanwhile the left wins victories (like governments recognizing Palestine) and insists they are meaningless defeats.

This is objectively true. Biden chose to let genocide happen, when he could have stopped it. US liberals' contortions just show that they can't see, can't resist the fascism taking over their country.

For decades, American experts have flown around the world teaching local activists how to practice democracy. Now it’s time for activists from authoritarian countries to come to American and show Americans how to fight autocrats.

The insidious lessons of Canada's "residential schools" are being applied to assimilationist education in Tibet today, featuring residential preschools where Chinese language is enforced on Tibetan children aged 4 to 6.

Human rights violators learn from each other.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

#Autism is a diverse group of brain development conditions.

In 2021, about 1 in 127 people worldwide were estimated to be on the autism spectrum.

Signs may appear in early childhood, but many go undiagnosed for years.

Early understanding and support can make all the difference. 👉 bit.ly/4pGvgnP

Nor are we well qualified to do do. Mot of my colleagues can barely handle existing classroom tech, let alone teach a topic that students know better than their profs.

I realize many people don’t quite get that not every single professor in every single university teaches computer science and might actually be trained in and invested in teaching other things, like let’s say, history? Or poetry.
Or sociology.
It is not our job to teach students how to use AI.

If you don’t teach your students how to use AI, you’re doing them a huge disservice because they won’t have jobs in the future.
