This is crossing the threshold into the ridiculous

Are the garbage men the Kazon here? I'm a little sleepy. (Obv the cancer is the phage)

And Lo, Europe was ushered into 300 years of Chaos, and the House of Hapsburg blew the sixth trumpet, and the angel did emerge from the pit. It had thirteen wings and sixty-six eyes, and its name way Groyperoddon.

Obviously not my area of expertise. I certainly believe that not modeling reading is the biggest issue.

I do find it hard to believe the remedial classes relying on this set of "bad reader" skills is more than a stopgap for desperate kids. I believe context cues can be well-used, I suppose.

FIGHT THE REAL ENEMY (the business school)

Its because they aren't leftists and roils people that theyre so effective as normie communicators

This is amazing, and so on brand for his dramatic ass. I made a similar mistake flying Pisa-Dublin-Edinbugh during my study abroad, and missed getting my passport stamped until the return flight later. Difference is I was 20, traveling for the first time abroad, and very apologetic...

Functional illiteracy of adults is also very noisy data where its hard to isolate causality (immigration, adult behaviors, etc.) and doesn't speak well to education. Grade level performance metrics are more reliable, and state-level variations controlled for income/race are better still.

Some Intra-US data suggests it does matter. Alabama, along with a couple other states, has made substantial progress by switching to a phonics-heavy reading curriculum (very recently). Still early days but these results look promising.

Is this is why people can't read? Or why they assume things online? It's only one contributing factor of many. There are also attentional pressures, and incentives to respond rather than absorb.

But it certainly doesn't help to trick kids into thinking they can read when they can't.

This is why you get the bourbon *in* the milkshake! SMDH.

Its just the overlap with the red triangle post-warrior types. The people who want to bitch rather than do something that might have cconsequences.

Easy to get the antisemitism from that crowd right now, due to the whole 10/7 amd Mamdani discourse. Plus Schumer is Jewish, so...

"hey remember having affordable healthcare" is a good message to keep hammering home to the idiot median voter in 26, and glonzoism on subsidies probably helps

Unfortunately the idiots on this site have the opposite problem where they have become convinced glonzo is very much real

Definitely it. Whenever it gets intermittently rainy my joints go to shit and my brain shuts down.

OK done watching, back to muting them. So much for thinking there was any value in unmuting the discourse.
