New York’s hottest club has *everything*: falcons, mere anarchy, cries of innocence, slow thighs, lion bodies, man heads, gazes as blank and pitiless as the sun..

Pretty much the only type of "content" I can handle today, thanks YouTube

Maybe, just maybe, those journalists know how to read a fucking StatsCan report. Maybe he should try doing just that.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Stunning work: "Currently, 6.1 percent of K-12 students in the United States receive gifted education ... Under 4 percent of students in the lowest income percentile are identified as gifted, compared with 20 percent of those in the top income percentile." edworkingpapers.com/ai26-1375

How the private equity industry views education is really alien to how educators see it. Yet these investors probably have a bigger say in how the future of education will unfold. First, education is a *market* worth $trillions *in the future* making it a good speculative bet for investment...

You created a burner account to observe the feed and concluded “wow, lots of COVID posts.” Yes. Because there’s an enormous body of research on cumulative harm from repeat infection. The algorithm amplifies. The science predates it.

“Except for Kennedy’s excellent work with my friends on trans healthcare!” — Jesse Singal, probably

This is why in higher education you should not let your curriculum be driven by 'demand.' You need give students the precious opportunity to discover the things they don't already know they will be excited about.

No lessons learned by Labour apparently.

Brace for the racist innuendos, MAGA style election integrity conspiracy theories, 10,000 think pieces in the Spectator, Unherd, substacks, & GBNews rants about the end of British democracy/Western Civilisation.

Post old memes to confuse young people.

These ideological classes imposed by the legislature are so unpopular, they are currently bribing students with a $4,000 scholarship just to take one of them

IMO this kind of politics simply isn't conducive to creativity, which requires real freedom, openness to new ideas, and the ability to embrace serendipity

"On Thursday, independent MLA Tara Armstrong attempted to introduce a bill in the BC legislature that would abolish the BCHRT and repeal the province’s human rights code. The legislature rejected it in a 37–50 vote, with the Conservatives in favour." pressprogress.ca/barry-neufel...

When my father served in the armed forces (1939-1945) the entire organization was antifa, and the conservatives of those days didn't have a problem with that.

One of the vaccines Makary, Hoeg, Kulldorff, Bhattacharya, and RFK want to get rid of...

I always find that comparison (from present-day academics who see themselves as bravely "controversial") amusing - was everyone who went against that consensus correct like Galileo? Or do we just not hear about the people whose "brave" ideas turned out to be genuinely unhelpful and forgettable?

My interest in this “Democrats” group was piqued when the Koch-funded FIRE, which defends right-wing interests, rushed to its side in Illinois. So I took a look at what makes this group “Democats.” Their public filings and website provide no substantiation. We asked them directly … and got no reply

I found this thread interesting & informative.

Happy Wednesday!

I hope the students at Leeds realise how lucky they are to have this course, and to have Greg teach it. This dovetails nicely with my article arguing for putting the complexities upfront in biology, and shows that it can be done. (And teaching the history & context!)

This is excellent news, I'm glad to see both that this "documentary" has been pulled and to see mainstream media giving this issue (Widdowson, Bexte, and Hergott's residential school denialist "documentaries") some spotlight.

Widdowson will team up with anyone who will support her increasingly aggressive anti-Indigenous, denialist crusade, from Juno to OneBC and so on. She's found a helpful new tactic in getting herself arrested at universities (=supports claims of censorship, generates outrage attention).
