more gender makes world more gooder.

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy

math is not dead, but first-past-the-post credit in math might be, and that means a lot of individuals' motives to fuck with math might be but that's deeply distinct from math being dead!

Whatever you can think about Anthropic, I don’t think OpenAI or Elon Musk is taking this *more* seriously than them. They’re the ceiling. And they aren’t able to stop it! Not good.

TBH I think it's fortunate, because vetoing a chapter's overwhelming endorsement vote is organization-breaking in the absence of essentially criminal misconduct by the candidate.

Dawg we are talking about 1966, no American white working man was suddenly getting left high and dry by deindustrialization or austerity or recession The only “radical shift in the material conditions” was “you have to let black people into your school/office/shop/apartment block now”

I'm pretty sure this would be incredibly popular amongst my moots.

Brutal news for Sapphics Down Under.

Republicans, they're not like us.

Politics hits different when you're an "issue" instead of a citizen

If they didn't want to be called Pedos, why do they keep Gym Jordan around?

Lady, You shouldn't. It makes boycotting easier.

Personal Phone. Work Phone (day job). Work Phone (handler). "Work" Phone (phone I use to cheat on my wife who is an SVR illegal). "Personal" Phone (watch tiktoks I don't find funny to throw MSS off). Random burner flip phone I only order pizza off of to throw off whoever loots my corpse.

The trick here is that farmers aren't regular voters. Most farmers are professionals like her who know on which side their bread is buttered. They're wealthy landowners with perpetual cash flow issues. Even if Trump threatens the latter, Dems threaten the former, & the former is their identity.

did you guys think this would make him seem less cool somehow or what

like a lot of the rallying around swing state dems’ shortcomings starts to resemble the mistakes of bernie’s most diehard supporters of responding to any criticism with “bend the knee immediately or you’re the enemy”, and it’s not an effective strategy in either case

the thing is, i also don’t think you actually achieve maximum support via maximum-juche, maximum-hostility to criticism either, you tell a different message depending on where you are, who you are, and who you are talking to

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

The “something” in question was the workers themselves deciding by 1966 that they no longer wanted New Dealer welfare capitalism if it meant black Americans would benefit from it while anti-war protesters were free to burn the flag

Sure Prohibition was handled poorly, but that doesn't mean that the issues with drinking at the time didn't exist. And right now our handling of online gambling is the equivalent of delivering alcohol directly to a problem drinker's home and not charging them a delivery fee.

my only concern with re-restricting gambling is that it wouldn't go far enough on its own, it's an appendage of the same scam octopus as social media slop and MLMs and wellness products that run a spectrum from snake oil to literally just Drugs we need, like, Super Temperance against general vice

It's Quincy. If they were responsible, they wouldn't be Russia's favorite think tank.

Fun fact, the film adaptation of Oklahoma was shot in rural Arizona for several "grassy plains" shots, because in actual Oklahoma all those shots would have had oil derricks in them.

Eh. I think we can and should blame the cowardice of the Senate, and Biden's frankly terrible approach to coalitional morale. But we got here because we live in a deeply fallen nation with an electorate that is, or at least was, largely devoid of morality or virtue.

the idea that a city's social services should be paid for one-by-one by these insane discretionary deals on a development-by-development basis is just madness. it's such a tremendous drain on the general prosperity in return for ???

i think cities should enable development according to impersonal rules and then levy impersonal taxes on land to pay for impersonal social services free_speech.png

"libertarian candidate for state senate in north carolina is currently in a shootout with the cops and live-tweeting his planned suicide", while not exactly surprising, is still a weird thing to read

This is an interesting argument to watch in the comments and also back along the original thread because Almost everyone in it is right which leads to some feral behavior (approving) in the comments from both side Our kids WILL do better as individuals and collectively if they learn to do

Teaching is a skill. We require teachers to have college degrees and professional certifications. We acknowledge that reading intervention, math intervention, and special education require even more specialized certifications. This is not something we should be outsourcing to bored seven year olds.

I mean we should drop the 'gifted' language because that sucks, but just like 'academic focused' is fine. That's a thing, kids have different skills.

This isn't really fair to gifted kids who aren't trained teachers and don't know how to teach. It's also not fair to the kids who are struggling and need actual, targeted instruction from an adult who knows how to help kids with learning difficulties.

Anyone know any good media about Benedict Arnold?

True: if you’re a small ‘c’ conservative who believes in “Chesterton’s fence,” Trump has turned you into a Democrat. For many, that change will be permanent. Further, each year there isn’t a course correction, more and more people will switch.
