Moment of teacher joy today. 10th grade girl was beyond surprised to learn that bats are mammals. She kept asking questions like, "So there is bat milk?" Led to more questions. We ended up having to pull up hundreds of pics of mammals and kids asked stuff like, "So where are the nipples on a rhino?"

you think leftism is bad because you've been told your whole life to believe it by people who own factories and hate unions, by people who make money when your government spends money on the military and cops, by people who stand to make money as long as they can trick you into sabotaging yourself.

Whoa Parenti died. Rest in peace. His books changed my life.

I remember when the players wanted to strike during 2020 and Obama called them and got them to back down. That was really dumb!

Witnesses are being taken to Whipple. From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

Fascism is a form of class struggle. It is an extreme form of reaction by the most aggressive capitalists against any social progress they feel might threaten their system of private property and profits.

GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good. Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

Reading the Communist Manifesto the way Marx and Engels intended

You won't find any Democrat who can competently argue against this very reasonable political strategy of countering fascist GOP rhetoric with communist rhetoric, without them exposing they'd prefer a Trump-style fascism to go unchecked if it avoids the possibility of communism gaining popularity.

i grew up watching postman pat and now i live in a world with post-white pat. this is enshittification

the us overall military strategy right now is the navy seal copypasta

I've been weightlifting for a year but this is the first month that I've gone 4 times a week with 100% consistency. Yesterday was my 6th day in the gym of 2026 and my body is feeling very sore! I've gotta grade papers and finalize grades today but I keep wanting to read news and post my screeds 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

MY FALCONER IS DEAD!! I don’t want to remarry. I only want ROUGH BEAST. See my widening gyre. CLICK HERE.

He did it. He actually did it.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but it's not enough to just tax the rich. It won't actually solve the real problem. Same with universal basic income. There is a LOT of evidence that proves this. This is all stuff that was known by the end of the 1800's but was forgotten.

My dude: the US killed 80+ people yesterday in Venezuela and kidnapped their president. The "peaceful, Venezuelan-led transition" ship, if it ever existed, has long since sailed.

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

When the polite, cultured Dr. Pepper consumes a special draught, he turns into the brutish, monstrous Mr. Pibb.

Tiny Tim, who did NOT hit her. He did not. Oh hi, ghost

If you're sad, just watch Tokyo Godfathers. It's free on Tubi. My wife and I just watched it and it was pretty heartwarming and timely.

Would you believe me if I told you Mark Cuban didn’t want a peer reviewed answer to his question from the top medical journal

Being a leftist means being right when it gets you yelled at, fired, or shot rather than when the forces of physics finally force everyone to admit the truth

This is the news every day for the past 6 years

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

WHAT’s up guys its Plato welcome back to the cave. Guys we’ve got some CRAZY shadows for you today you are not gonna want to miss this! But first I have to thank our sponsor OnX Backcountry

a challenge for liberals: give me an example of a level of cruelty it would take in order for you to finally agree that liberalism is evil. i will show you a historical example of where they have already done it

Overheard in the supermarket. Two teenagers. 1: 'Where's Dad?' 2 (with ineffable weariness): 'In the cheese aisle, having the time of his life.'

I just bought Total War 3 Kingdoms on an 80% off Steam sale after years of waiting to play it. It's the fun treat waiting for me at the end of a day of house work and school work 🎉🎉 Not sure who I'm gonna play as first.. maybe Cao Cao? Liu Bei?

"all oppressed people have a right to violence"

Capitalist ownership of newspapers is nothing new. This is an Art Young comic from 100 years ago.

More Art Young comics from 100 years ago.

Discovered Art Young comics. They're from 100 years ago but they indicate that working people had things figured out back then that we have since forgotten.

As much as Netflix pretends to be an entertainment company and a studio they move through the world like a tech company, up to and including devaluing the product they initially sold as a premium service (tv and movies).

These kinds of posts have a "going through the motions" feel to them, like it's the way they decided to defend Democrats from the left a decade ago and haven't had a new thought since. It doesn't hold up given that all the same people who want Jeffries gone also want Schumer gone, but whatever.

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

MASSIVE FUCKUP: there’s a new 4K streaming restoration of Twin Peaks and in the pilot episode you can see the reflection of a scary-looking crew member in a mirror. how did they screw this up so badly?

nah, i'm pretty sure it's the killing people part that's the worst

the 2 huge reasons LLMs need data centers are 1) performance and b) the ability to give realistic sounding “answers” to many different prompts. Neither of these matter for scientific ML.

Great quote from an abolitionist general during the civil war. Gentle reminder that as we prepare to confront the 'peculiar institution' of our own time that we are also fighting against exploitation, hatred, and coercion.

Snow Day calculator says 98% chance for tomorrow: I'm asking the students to lend their energy

the conflation scam is a key part of LLM marketing. Specifically they’re taking the useful things ML is doing (which doesn’t require massive data centers everywhere) and ascribing those to useless LLMs (which do, plus the massive financial bubble)
