There have been so many EdTech fads in only my own adult life (remember MOOCs?)and they always end up abandoned in disgrace within a few years, doing nothing but enrich early promoters. So much of education is already a solved problem, but we keep trying to shoehorn in something new

People just keep reinventing the sex cult every few decades. The binding ideology is entirely fungible and entirely irrelevant; the sex and control are the point The only major innovation this time is that the people doing the reinventing are actually socially powerful.

"Claim" not to have heard? We don't have a national monoculture anymore. I don't hear everything. And yes, I don't listen to country, but I certainly heard Dasha's country hit two years ago. This shit is random

yes.

A five-panel meme showing a progression of black-and-white portraits labeled "Opus 4.6" through "Opus 5.5". "Opus 4.6" features a detailed pencil sketch of a smiling man with curly hair and glasses. "Opus 4.7" is a slightly simpler sketch, "Opus 4.8" is a clean cartoon line drawing, and "Opus 5" devolves into a crude, messy child-like scribble with big buck teeth. The final panel, "Opus 5.5", displays an exaggerated, hyper-masculine "gigachad" version of the man with a massively chiseled jawline and confident smile.

As I've said repeatedly, all the talk of AOC running for president consistently overlooks the value of having AOC stay in the House long term. *SOMEONE* has to be Speaker under a progressive president! Excessive presidentialism among the public is a major component of our current predicament(s)

This is obviously bad, but I suspect people are undervaluing the extent to which individual short-form video creators are overtaking (and have already overtaken!) the role of news provision for a significant chunk of the population

Because we are so far from the origins of the industrial revolution, almost none of us has any tangible sense of HOW MUCH TIME it took to make fabric and clothing. Like, it was probably the single most time consuming activity people did other than farming!

I've always preferred the framing that nostalgia by definition is longing for a thing that never was, as opposed to memory, which more honestly recalls the real So, I suppose, this is just that premise taken to its logical conclusion

I choose to see all this as a very good thing, because it means that, once we rid ourselves of Trumpism, the precedent will be set. We are getting TTIP-PLUS in a dry run before we have the political will to attempt to join it ourselves
