It does seem like an indictment of the whole operation that the SAT cannot design questions that assess the additional richness you get from carefully reading a long text (rather than either skimming a long text or reading something short)—but given that they can’t, yeah, don’t do long passages
As usual, Thomas has failed to do the most rudimentary fact-checking before issuing an overwrought conclusion about Kids These Days.
It's true that the SAT shortened reading passages but it also added more of them. And the change is intended to make the test more rigorous, not less.

During the pandemic, my union bargained a reimbursement for “technology” we bought with personal funds so we could work remotely—I tried very hard to convince HR that they should reimburse me for my desk, but no dice. “You know what technology means” they said

It’s true! These days some people even tell me I can’t be a lesbian because I’m trans and those identities are in conflict—I’m sure it’s these transactivists I keep hearing about trying to suppress my sapphism

Maybe a bit petty but it seems bad to me that purported data nerd Sean McElwee doesn’t know how common denominators work.

Sorry kids, prepare to be SHOCKED and OFFENDED that the sampling distribution has its own standard deviation, different from both the standard deviation of the population and that of the sample
Sorry, kids. Prepare to be SHOCKED and OFFENDED by the high levels of rural proletarianization in seventeenth-century England.

So my baby just started walking and he still has very little hair and he walks in the staggery way babies do with his little baby barrel chest thrust forward and I can’t stop thinking… he looks like Joe Rogan. I saw it and I can’t unsee it. A cute little baby Joe Rogan of the left

Once again a winning political movement, basically by definition, is one that sways a lot of people who suck
yeah, this is a major sign of optimism. you know you are successful when it is people like newsom who are sounding combative because ultimately you succeed when the opportunists jump onboard
notable that the poster child for morally empty ambition has finally figured out that there are gains to be reaped from opposing the administration's actions

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office —
@RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.”
BASH: “What does that mean?”

My hot take is that other things, like the mass firings and deportations, have been worse than how obvious it’s been.
The worst thing about the US collapse into fascism is how fucking *obvious* it’s been, at every step.
Second worst thing: the people who told us it was fine, no need to worry, just roll over and go back to sleep, at each and every ominous step.

Something I think would be good here would be for unions to get proactive about developing good education policy in labor-friendly ways. In some sense it shouldn’t be unions’ job, but if you can never trust a new initiative that comes from management… unions can’t be always on the status-quo side
