absolutely incredible to reveal the guy who invented this doesnt believe in dyslexia. just an absolute death blow to that guy's whole deal
how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...
How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

also very fascinating to tell us the Federation is engaging in a brutal occupation of Naboo that we never even get a birdseye view of. it all happens entirely offscreen, but we're told that it's very dire and important. you'd think a shot of a little kid getting kicked by droid would write itself
Alright to wade into this the problem with the trade war aspect of the Phantom Menace is it is never exactly clear what is going on. The taxation of trade routes are in dispute which leads the Trade Federation to blockade and occupy Naboo. Is the Naboo route in dispute? Is that a major trade market?

ive got some Gen Z relatives who have been getting really into CDs recently. i think it's a bit nostalgia, a bit retro appreciation, and maybe a bit of appreciating how much simpler owning physical media is.
Interesting convo with a friend who owns a hip NYC record shop about a sudden renewed interest in CDs, which were a negligible part of his business till recently.

there are tons of complaints you can levy at the PT, but for me, the killer blow is that nearly the entire emotional core of the plot relies on Anakin and Padme's relationship, and i never buy for a second that those two people fell for and are actively in love with one another
God its so insane anakin admits to slaughtering a bunch of kids and it’s just a non factor for padme

Renner is the kind of old school celebrity we've been missing for a while. all of his decisions are completely inscrutable, he's constantly involved in the weirdest shit (including nearly dying), and all indications are that he's an absolute bastard.

someone with a couple million dollars and some know-how could put together the Justice League of journalists right now from all the layoffs
New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

pretty wild how the GOP very nearly created a multiethnic coalition that could fuck over Dems for who knows how long, but decided to go mask-off turbo racist and immediately alienate every single one of them
More broadly, heavily-Latino counties moved far to the right in NJ last year, and back to the left this year:

it's so infuriating when you consider the collateral damage of all of this. so many families, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, being made to watch these freaks brutally act with impunity. i dont think they really understand how much hatred theyre developing for their causes around the country

you could recite the Protocols of the Elders of Zion while wearing a SS uniform on camera and as long as you said, "i support the existence and current actions of Israel" at the end, the ADL would support you. they're currently a deeply unserious organization
The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.
I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

my entire life, i've had a third grandma who is a different race than me. it wasnt until i was a teenager that i actually bothered to ask how my parents knew her
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.
Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."
