I didn’t believe a post that said the school sent messages to students advising them to run hide and FIGHT but this is from the Brown website
BrownUAlert: 1st, Urgent: There's an active shooter near Barus & Holley Engineering. Lock doors, silence phones and stay stay hidden until further notice. Remember: RUN, if you are in the affected location, evacuate safely if you can; HIDE, if evacuation is not possible, take cover; FIGHT, as a last resort, take action to protect yourself. Stay tuned for further safety information.

how much is “StudySync” making off of the problems of short attention spans and AI?

this opinion, that books need to max out on “vocabulary,” for test prep no doubt, is the worst part of this article!
Advocates for the Core had pointed out that some novels commonly assigned to teenagers, like "The Grapes of Wrath," were not challenging in terms of vocabulary and sentence structure. They were akin to a second- or third-grade reading level, despite being thematically rich.

Yup I just read this and it’s all coming together (from US News sorry I navigated away from the link)
According to a report published Monday by pro-Israel publication The Free Press, which was founded by former New York Times writer Bari Weiss, CBS News addressed the incident during an incident that morning. The Free Press account included leaked audio recordings that included CBS executives suggesting the incident did not meet "editorial standards" after a "review of our coverage."

Super interesting bc in older and casual shots there’s no particularly notable jaw, but in pic I’ve seen most often accompanying this news his jaw is def accentuated (possibly augmented? Common these days )

“Looksmaxxing” and strong jaw talk a big social media thing, and RWers so online poisoned

A few years ago I taste tested a bunch of recipes and this was my favorite
BEST CUT-OUT SUGAR COOKIES Soft sugar cookies with crisp edges and a buttery. almost melt-in-your-mouth quality to them, these really are the best cut-out sugar cookies ever. Perfect for using your favorite cookie cutter shapes for any holiday or occasion! INGREDIENTS • 11/4 cups chilled butter, cut into 1/2" pieces • 11/4 cups granulated sugar • 1 large egg • 1 large egg yolk • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 3 cups all-purpose flour 417g flour • 3/4 teaspoon salt • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder INSTRUCTIONS 1. In a large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar on high speed for about 3 minutes until well combined. 2. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl. 3. Add in the flour, salt, and baking powder on low speed, mixing just until incorporated and the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a flat disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for 2 hours or up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. 4. When ready to bake the cookies, heat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the dough from the fridge and let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes to soften slightly. 5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out using cookie cutters and bake on a baking sheet lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges just barely start to turn golden. Cool completely before decorating with royal icing or frosting. NOTES You could add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract or 1/2 tablespoon of lemon zest to the dough, if you would like, but I actually prefer the classic, vanilla flavor of these cookies. I have also rolled these 3/8-inch thick, which doesn't seem like much of a difference from the 1/4-inch thick cookie, but is actually quite noticeable. While I liked the thicker cookies too, I prefer the 1/4-inch version for the cookie to frosting ratio and the different texture. The cookies will need to cook an extra minute or two longer if you opt to make

very well done takedown of the way euphemistic phrases are being used to obscure and muddy facts
Abstractions without principles are mere euphemisms. All these phrases: "post-liberalism, "national conservatism," etc., etc., are just ways to paper over what's happening in the here and now: rampant lawlessness, cruelty, and corruption. They allow people to avoid using their judgment about what's in front of them. More to the point, they are essentially lies. “Still, I think this early moral disintegration in German society, hardly perceptible to the outsider, was like a kind of dress rehearsal for its total breakdown, which was to occur during the war years.” Arendt, as quoted by Ganz

sh ago One problem is that today the level of maturity has changed. Todays 18 year olds are like 9 year olds for us born in the 60's 70's. Reply•凸219•企 仚 L Look4Truth 3h ago True. I was on my own at 17. Had an after school job to get me by. One thing I found, is that IF you have a SUNNY DISPOSITION, people want to hire you. People are attracted to positive happy people. If you love the LORD, those attributes happen automatically. I'm now happily retired. It's TRIED and TRUE.

Now Zuckerberg is reportedly offering Al researchers that much moolah for a single year's labor. Hancock brings up the Gini coefficient, a measure of inequality that's popular among the World Bank crowd. Since the '90s, "we went from 30 on the Gini to 83," he says. "Those are the conditions for the French Revolution."

Christina Jewett vs. transgender people Christina Jewett is an American author and anti-transgender activist. Jewett co-wrote a scaremongering New York Times article about healthcare for trans and gender diverse youth titled "They Paused Puberty, but Is There a Cost?" The piece helped spark a newsroom revolt against management during the Times' 2020s anti-trans coverage crisis.

went back to reread her piece in RFK Jrs nonsense laundered by lib mythologies and elite media and every word stands truer today

One of the keys to Kennedy's appeal with a certain segment of the population is his view of himself as an outcast and victim. When his inaugural campaign speech went long, he joked with the crowd, "This is what happens when you censor somebody for 18 years."
