you could make a lot of this mania vanish by making college free. the worst parents think they're working a new market inefficiency by making their kid out-hustle the "lazy" kids. but even chill parents are holding a psychological lotto ticket that their kid puts up numbers that end in scholarships

when Republicans are on the wrong side of a 60-40 issue they double down over and over and over, it becomes the center of political debate, and more often than not the numbers move. when Democrats are in that position they immediately give up

It’s very important to know you can just tell them their questions are dumb. It’s what Trump does! He’s been very successful at it! The media decided to stop asking actual important things to him because of it!

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

it remains extremely fucked up and under-commented-upon that laws targeting trans *children* specifically are further right and more extremist than ones where children are only collateral damage we should not agree that "we'll hurt the children more" is a moderate compromise

adults have great power over children, including power to speak for them and over them, and they use that power to silence children, pass policies that harm children, and then say they're working for children.

There is room in feminism to hear the perspectives of both women and men. You can't form coherent opinions about how women's experiences differ from men's if your idea of men's experiences has no basis in actually listening to men.

Aside from an apparently fixed period of time where language acquisition is supercharged, childhood learning is full of variation and fits and starts and very few losses are truly irrecoverable if you don't make kids feel like hopeless losers for being 'behind'.

The whole point of politics is to stand for something, make an argument, and win people over. If you’re already giving up half of that by meeting them where they are and conceding on your values, what the fuck are you even doing? Politics is fluid and people change their minds all the time.

I view kids reading webtoons rather than War and Peace in their free time as a sign they are overworked and exhausted at school. If you want kids to engage in more "intellectual" activities in their free time, they need more humane working conditions to have some energy left over to do so.

By that standard, Jenny Racicot is a rapist for having sex with Graham Platner when he was drunk. Personally I don't think she's a rapist, I think Platner is, but you do you I guess…

Twisted Sister says "I remember some years back there was a study that asked men "have you ever raped?" and most said no. But when they were asked reworded questions (ie have you ever had sex with someone when they were intoxicated) they said yes."

I do not understand the "fairness in sports" thing, in part because it isn't a thing, but also "fair to who" is always the question. People who are taller have an advantage in basketball. Does that mean we ban tall people? Why would THAT be fair?

For much of human history, the consequences of sex are high, even (especially?) within marriage. For folks who can get pregnant, EXTREMELY high. Sex makes people happy. We should be enabling that. Full stop.

I’m saying this as someone who’s in a 90% teaching position. Teaching vs. research is a false choice. Robust public funding of higher ed that existed without controversy until Reagan is the answer. The answer to “solving” whatever “problems” exist in higher ed is literally “throw money at it.”

IDK if this is what this person means, but it could be an interesting concept to have a social media platform that is only open for a few hours a day. Like how Wordle went viral by restricting players to one game a day, meaning the rest of the day was spent anticipating and talking about it.

So folks understand the problems with the New York Times didn’t just start under Trump. The Times was the top promoter of invading Iraq (far more influential than Fox News) and it forwarded smears of the Clintons and Al Gore. The Times even did PR for Adolf Hitler before WWII. The problem isn’t new.

Your kid needs to know how to access medical care and too many of you are yoloing it. You need to actively teach them how to make an appt, how to call in a refill, how to find urgent care, how insurance works, etc, and you need to do it BEFORE they turn 16.
