it is the oldest ideological trick in the book, one played by bosses and books alike, to take a realist investigation of real estate, race, and class mobility and neuter it into smut and THAT rather than “faithfulness” is the problem we experts have

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.

Discworld QOTD, from Men at Arms
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars.

Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.

the existence of AI is making actual real student writing resemble AI more and more. in my dark hours I think that equally, probably part of the point of this AI craze is to train human minds to be more like AI: more predictable, simpler, passively accepting bullshit, more easily appeased

Wow that’s a pretty dirty move from Canada Post. Rather than negotiate with the workers, it’s violating the Canada Labour Code and laying people off during the strike. The strike going on longer is going to be at their feet. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
