The people who say they are opposed to participation trophies want their children to receive diplomas for refusing to learn and if anyone suggests their precious little unique dandruff flake has to actually do the work then off with their heads.

it's just so emblematic of what passes for conservative thought, this belief that their children go to college not to leave ignorance behind by learning from experts, but rather to teach the experts from their locus of ignorance, and to have their nonsensical prior assumptions validated as true

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

I fuckin hate this book and my kid loves it, so I have to hide it and SHE. ALWAYS. FINDS IT.

Unexpected hugs from my little one.

Fool (If You Think It’s Over) is a Market Basket classic and an absolute bop.

Wild when it happened. Me and the boys were trying to recreate it on the playground all the time.

You can't invent the lightbulb by improving the candle. You can't create new shit just by reading, regurgitating and rewording old shit. AI would tell you to build an iron lung to treat the symptoms but the human brain discovers penicillin to kill the cause of the symptoms.

“the washington post reports that cbs news fucked up!!!” ok and then what? in 6 months jeff bezos replaces the journalist who reported that with AI and buys another one of saturn’s moons.

Not pass interference

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Wow, Charlie Kirk really did energize the youths

Americans: Please do literally anything to lower grocery prices. Trump: We’re doing the Hunger Games!!!

Get my guys another beer.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

I feel like 80s cinema thrived on coarse language and brief nudity. They did it well

You’ve lost the plot as a presidential administration when Dr. Oz is on stage handwringing about the cost of balls

Kiddos crushed it in the door decorating this year!

If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers www.persuasion.community/p/my-chatgpt...

Staying true to my brand

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

BOSTOO YOOK YARTERS

The only NBA Cups I recognize

Social media is a nightmare of misinformation and anger and hatred but the thing I can't stand the is it turned so many people into obstinate dicks. You can be wrong! You're allowed to learn new information and course correct! That's a strength, not a weakness!

Some Dems have told themselves only ~1% of the population is trans so they can dip their toe in the anti-trans filth and come out clean. I don't have any trans family members—but it still makes me irate. I see it as a huge red flag, a sign you are unprincipled and untrustworthy. And I'm not alone.

Symbolism for $200

Trump seeing these replies and just losing it

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

I happen to think that Rob Reiner had a much bigger cultural impact than Charlie Kirk did.

When my students ask me why I have a baseball bat on top of my classroom closet: “Because I teach in an American public high school in 2025.” And they just shrug. Because they know.

Milano's face after getting mushed 😂

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

But I thought they didn't believe in gender affirming care... apple.news/AKo_JOWVyQ56...

Well, that’s fuckin stupid.

SAY HIS NAME AND HE APPEARS

Gotta stay up and watch John Cena’s Final Match. Appreciating that all the matches are ending with the wrestlers dapping each other up and basically congratulating themselves on the match. Love all the WWE drama and conflict and shit, but at the end of the day, it’s entertainment. Have fun.

the world has changed

How many deaths will ultimately be traceable to the one rally where Trump tried to take credit for the Covid vaccine and people booed?

Would be first (or maybe second… @mnkraft.bsky.social) in line for a Mrs. Bond PD opportunity.

again, ignition interlocks are one of those things where there basically *really is* a technological solution to the problem that greatly mitigates that tradeoffs, and it's a policy failure that they aren't mandatory for five years after your first DUI.

On first glance, seems like a nice, spacious home. But when you dig through that Zillow….HOLY HELL. That house is a fuckin dump. I wouldn’t even give 95K for it.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

i stand by this statement every year

Head like Athol Black as Wood's Hole I'd rather die Than give you to Lowell

So, we’re fucked. Got it.

Putting Elon Musk on the cover of a magazine for anything other than “his illegal government funding cuts have already killed hundreds of thousands of people, mostly children” is propaganda
