It’s a building block. I was in 3rd grade when I did the times table. I knew. I thing about the fundamentals of mathematics. But it would be impossible for me to learn without the foundations of computation

The social problem is that these poorly performing schools do not educate children with high potential and ability. And the solution is to dismantle them and for parents to avoid them

She doesn’t have to. It’s important for us to see what happened. And it’s valuable that NHJ was honest about every failure she made at each step, because it informs us better.

The problem with the schools is not money. The problem with the schools is that the education is poor and the environment is disruptive and the education of students who want to learn is not prioritized.

Obviously I would never feel sorry for republicans, but they had a good thing going where they convinced every single immigrant group that , somehow, they were racist at immigrants and their families that somehow didn’t include them. And idiots like Bo French went mask off, breaking the illusion!

I can’t see air travel as worse than it was during my lifetime because the prices are essentially flat in nominal dollars. I’m paying the same amount now as I did in 1998, plus I get an entertainment system and WiFi in my seat

I love these pictures. By the time my family left their home countries, wearing their traditional clothing had fallen out of fashion in favor of western styles.

9% marginal income tax for income above $1m or so. Works because you will get killed on property taxes exceeding the additional income tax if you move to a huge house in NH Basically this just put MA in line with CT-NY-NJ. But it’s a bummer for the high earners who were getting a great deal in MA

Learned recently there's a whole subculture of halal BBQ joints in texas, originally because Texas's quite-large Muslim population couldn't eat at ones that also prepared pork, but now it's a whole thriving culinary niche. Real "glorious American melting pot" stuff

My life has not been wasted in meetings and “organizing” over a few grocery store goods. I think that’s a sign of personal success in life.

The issue is you guys think “organizing” and going to meetings is an inherent good in and of itself, regardless of how worthwhile it is and whether it’s a good use of your time. Getting a few goods banned from the PSFC is a waste of one’s life theonion.com/ten-years-of...

Thinking of buying a workout/fitness monitoring strap because I am tired of not being able to wear different watches anymore. We are all slaves to the Apple Watch, like we are in the USSR and have been issued “workers’ watch number 7”

There’s a kind of guy who loves the idea that ordinary conservatives actually care about “fighting billionaires” and I think it’s laughable. They keep voting to make your life worse because their politics are that they don’t like you, not because they’re under the spell of a trickster political god.

I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here. Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.

Degenerate gamblers is putting it kindly. The only goal in the antebellum south was to be a planter. Every enterprise, all learning and skills, were acquired in the effort to become a planter. Despite this, they were all terrible at running plantations with no-cost labor. Nigh universally in debt.

If many people hold a left-wing opinion they are a mob and should be ignored; if few people hold a left wing opinion they are fringe and should be ignored. The substance or correctness of the opinion is irrelevant. This is the reactionary centrist credo bsky.app/profile/eliv...

Nate not realizing that our "unincorporated territories in the Caribbean" were acquired from Denmark in the first place in exchange for... relinquishing all claims to Greenland. Peak punditry right there. 10/10, don't ever change.

This is kind of freeing in a way, knowing that there’s no going back to normal. We can build something new, but it will require crushing republicans at every turn, not “working together”

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

I love tech and tech gadgets! But it’s bad enough that I will basically never wear a nice watch again because I only wear my Apple Watch now, outside of special occasions. I’m not going to give up having a nice pair of glasses just so I can buy a Meta product
