got served a youtube short called "top 3 celebrities who become homeless" & why is that a list. why is that a top __ list. why is it in the present tense, like they become homeless repeatedly. i could perhaps find these answers if i watched the short but that seems gross

why doesn't my generation get more shit for inventing the word "unironic," the worst-sounding synonym for "genuine"

also like... extra time on tests is one of the easiest accommodations to give. it's one of the only ones that every college i've worked for does work to make available. if 100% of students got extra time on tests, that would be fine
Even by the standards of The Atlantic, this is an extraordinarily weak evidence base for an article.
Data from a tiny handful of schools that isn't measuring the variable at issue and a few thin, secondhand anecdotes.

thinking about what "viewpoint diversity"/"viewpoint discrimination" in the classroom means in relation to this OU story; i mean yeah it's p obviously a targeted attack on a trans TA & we shouldn't lose sight of that, but also, more broadly, CAN you accommodate any 1A-protected viewpoint in a class?

whenever i think something seems like it should be a band name i go on bandcamp & search it to see if someone else has had the same idea. acts i have found this way include:
-Gentleman Caller
-The Cactuses
-Vernacular Manslaughter

"the first strike was very lethal. it was fine."
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

gotta love the classic conservative line "bullying people to enforce gender norms is fine & also isn't actually happening." like that's the arc here. it's okay that it happens & also it doesn't happen. does not scan on the most surface level

you just can't have a meaningful conversation about the potential benefits of "AI" while this stuff is happening. it's like trying to talk about how useful an airplane might be during a hijacking
What the leaked AI executive order tells us about the Big Tech power grab

okay so like this is what i mean when i say you could make a really good case for expropriating the wealth of billionaires just for the sake of the billionaires. like imagine having infinity dollars & doing this. this is obviously bad for him, we can all see it
(it's worse for everyone else though)

The way Catholic conservatives are responding to the Pope is actually a great illustration of how religion is far more the excuse of bigotry than its source.

watched Task & thought it was good but the ending wadn't as good as Mare of Easttown. after seeing some praise for the ending of Task i have been negatively polarized to the position that the ending of Task is pretty bad

I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.

just watched Task, the new miniseries Ingelsby made instead of a 2nd season of Mare (sidenote: making a 2nd miniseries w/ similar vibes was a way better call than a direct follow up) & it explicitly references the pandemic, which is interesting
most fiction since 2020 either ignores covid or just isn't about it, which is fine, but Mare of Easttown is a weird case for explicitly taking place in an alternate universe where covid didn't happen

notably i've seen people use the words "false accusations" in reference to CK or Ansari, guys who didn't dispute the allegations against them
people will pretend an accusation is false when really they don't object to the behavior & don't want to defend that position

The number of folks in replies to this post who are defending CK, Ansari, and Franken is substantial. The number who are doing so while accurately describing the uncontested facts in those three cases? Zero.
