This sounds less like educating kids and more like training a generation of good compliant worker-consumers.
Another parent, who withdrew their son from Alpha Brownsville, says guides offered to buy him something from Amazon if he retook a standardized test and improved his score. But the parent says their son felt shame when he wasn't completing enough lessons in his apps. "He went from a really happy kid, where school completely changed him that first year," the parent says, "to just a work machine who would do whatever it took." A picture of toys, games, and prizes with price tags on them and the caption: Students can purchase prizes using Alphas, the school's in-house currency, which they earn through work.

Teddypasketti @teddypasketti.bsky.social I spent literally 25 minutes explaining the Halloween series to one of my sons. Me: So there was Halloween. Then Halloween 2. Then 3, though it's unrelated. Him: Wait. The Rob Zombie Halloween? Me: No. That's Halloween. I'm talking about the first Halloween. *Halloween.* Not Halloween. Him: What Me: Look, it's not that hard. There was Halloween, and Halloween II. The original ones. Not the later Halloween and Halloween Il and the other Halloween. Him: What. Me: Three Halloweens. Two Halloween Ils. And one unrelated Halloween 3. Then the 7 others. Him: What.

Monday’s post, probably:
“A Very Happy Labor Day to all, especially the haters and losers who thought I was dead. I AM VERY MUCH ALIVE. You know who probably is dead is Sleepy Joe BIDEN. Nobody’s seen Sleepy Joe in Months. Nobody talks about him. WHY IS THAT??? It’s very sad. Thank You and have a Very Great Labor Day in the Greatest Country the World has Ever Seen!”

I gave an low but audible gasp when I got to the end of this graf
“Courtney Wallace took home the day’s only prize, reserved not for the fastest runner but for the first to quit. She dropped after just one lap and received a $25 gift certificate to a running store with locations in Columbia and Sykesville, set to expire a little more than four hours after the race start.”

Four panel meme of two anime characters (I think they’re from Yugioh maybe): The brown-haired one holds a card that says “don't speak ill of the dead”. Then the blonde-haired one holds another card, facing away from you. He has a knowing smirk on his face. He turns the card around; it says “don't be a piece of shit while you're alive” The brown-haired guy is literally blown away by this rebuttal.

The face of an elder black Lab with a very white face fills the frame. He has soft brown eyes and is a very good boy.

Stop gatekeeping a little social media site, man. Seriously - why care??
A tweet from Michael Hobbes @RottenInDenmark ••• I think we'll look back on the last decade as a time when social media gave previously marginalized groups the ability to speak directly to elites and, as a result, elites lost their minds. 2:20 AM • Apr 27, 2022

Oh, apparently her readers suck, too. And the out-sized influence of Amazon sucks.

GenAI still sucks, though. The whole situation just sucks.
Screenshot of the same Verge article: As Mark McGurl writes in Everything and Less, his recent book on how Amazon is shaping fiction, the Kindle platform transformed the author-reader relationship into one of service provider and customer, and the customer is always right. Above all else, authors must write fast. Lepp, who writes under the pen name Leanne Leeds in the “paranormal cozy mystery” subgenre, allots herself precisely 49 days to write and self-edit a book. This pace, she said, is just on the cusp of being unsustainably slow. She once surveyed her mailing list to ask how long readers would wait between books before abandoning her for another writer. The average was four months. Writer’s block is a luxury she can’t afford, which is why as soon as she heard about an artificial intelligence tool designed to break through it, she started beseeching its developers on Twitter for access to the beta test.

The blue macaw sat for an exclusive portrait for me @nationalaquarium.bsky.social
A portrait of a blue macaw. The feathers on its wings and back are bright blue, its breast is bright yellow, and it has a bit of green right at its forehead, as if they were a teenager experimenting with dying their hair. The macaw is perched on a branch looking aware but relaxed. In the background is Lush green foliage and other, crisscrossing branches.

I don’t even know where to begin to describe this picture. It’s a screenshot of the Duolingo widget on an iPhone. It’s got a hot pink background. In the foreground is the Duolingo owl - they’re green and they’re lying on their stomach and facing away from You and looking back over their shoulder at you. Their butt, which is facing you, is also their face again.

Good article! This stuck out to me, tho. Like, sure, comms can be improved sometimes. But we also need teach and drive home the point that if you’re having a problem you can, you know, look online or call your reps for help.
Erica Calvi, the owner of Bicoastal Trucking LLC in Columbia, received a $35,000 state worker retention grant. Calvi said that helped pay drivers and cover maintenance, but business is still hard. “We’re still recovering,” Calvi said, “We have not recovered.” Calvi said she wasn’t aware that Small Business Administration loans were an option, and wished the programs were advertised better.

A two-panel image from the animated show Scooby Doo. In the first panel, Fred, a guy with blond hair, a white shirt with a blue collar, and an orange scarf knotted at his neck, is reaching to a person who is tied up and in a ghost costume. Text over the face of the ghost says Literally doesn’t matter, pick something that sucks. In the second panel, Fred has removed the ghost’s hood, revealing former President Ronald Reagan.

Roger Senserrich ‪@4freedoms.es‬ As a reference, the $46B that Meta spent building this shit is about the same amount of money Spain used to built its WHOLE high speed rail network. All 2469 miles of it. Zuckerberg got that money selling shitty ads and destroying democracy, and gave the world this.
