He only takes that way about women and Black women Patriarchal white supremacists will go to their grave adoring him and defending him because he is the only leader they have ever had who allows them to enjoy the illusion that they are on the right side of history.

If you have personal experience that schoolwork is harder for kids now than it used to be, in terms of researching & writing papers, I'd love to hear it. My anecdotal evidence says research writing is not being taught, assigned, or required at anywhere near the level it was two generations ago.

Correction tape LIFTED OFF a tiny bit of plastic typewriter ribbon off the paper. You found the right term though: Correction TABS! With a fabric ribbon, the typewriter key pressed ink from the ribbon into the paper. It couldn't lift off but it could be covered with the white chalky substance.
Old fashioned correction tabs--correct typing errors on carbon copies without erasing, just re-type.  Typing mistakes disappear like magic in seconds.

When you hear a piano chord, your ear can still hear each note in the chord. But when you see a mixture of colors that together make white light, you can't see the individual colors that make up that light. Why? Read these sections of the book "Eye and Brain" & explain why in one page. 👁️🧠🤯 /END

Some bright kids overwhelm their teachers with lots of beautiful words. If you got through school partly with well-written BS, it's easier to write 5 pages than one. So one-page papers were VERY hard for some folks. It's been (many) decades but I *still* remember the topic of that first paper: /1

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Arlington County's local elected body has just sued to block construction of Trump's planned triumphal arch — arguing that administration officials bypassed a key review process in their push to begin work on the structure.

My mom saved a "book" I wrote in second grade about the solar system. Six sheets of 8 x 10 paper folded in half and stapled, with only a few words on each page. I know it is somewhere in all of these old boxes...

Yes, they have a lot of things way harder than we did. Schoolwork isn't one of them. Dangerous conditions in school (shootings/bombings), they do have that much harder than we did, though. School was my safe space. I can't even imagine not feeling safe in school.

Apparently nowadays a 10 page paper is considered long. A 20-25 page final paper was the standard way back when I was in college. A ten page final paper was a gift!

I remember a class that was VERY strict about page limits, with a lot of 1-page paper assignments on topics that were HARD to condense to one page. If you turned in a page and few extra lines on a second page, all you got back was the first page with this note at the bottom: "seems to end abruptly"

Does anyone remember the address-label sized pieces of paper you could place between the typewriter key & the paper you were typing on, and when you struck the key a white chalk-like substance covered up the wrong letter? I can't even think of the name of that item anymore. Correction paper?

When I went to college it was a mini-crisis for my single mom that every student was required to bring a typewriter. I didn't have one & they weren't cheap. A work-friend of my mother's gave me an old typewriter of his. I wish I had kept it--by now I could sell it to Tom Hanks as an antique.

OMG i remember well how exciting it was when the first correcting typewriters became available. Just hit the special backspace key and the wrong letter was literally lifted off the page! I used one in an office setting years before I could afford one of my own.

Of course Solberg is right & Norway deserves praise for its public policy. It's not a coincidence that countries having trouble with this are the countries that are more diverse. Even magafolk favor government help for the needy when they live in areas where the "undeserving" all look like them.

Let go of the idea that it is about which choice costs less. Desperate power-hungry folks are willing to pay money and LOSE money in exchange for the sadistic opportunity to cause pain to people they believe are beneath them.

«People will accept almost anything if it lets them feel chosen» Best description ever of seductive fringe movements. Love-bombing is ALWAYS a red flag. A relationship with points of disagreement is more likely to be genuine than one where the other person agrees with every single thing you say.

That meme is still valid. But in point of fact they don't need rooms full of human beings for the propaganda input anymore. Why pay humans when a.i. will work around the clock with no breaks and every day with no days off? That's why they are building data centers. #TWTABDC

It comes from... (drumroll, please!) Propaganda. Repetition of lies to an ignorant electorate that has no ability (or desire) to seek truthful answers to anything. And TPTB are building massive data centers to pump it out 24/7/365, to make sure the lie is always the first search result they see.
