lmaooo man hilarious that "wokeness in schools" was actually just incredibly stupid pedagogical techniques that leftists can and should totally reject

Pie discourse online always reminds me of the Teaching Tolerance lesson where you divide up the class based on arbitrary characteristics and then they start discriminating against each other

Regional rap has never crashed the economy.

god i love these guys so much

I can't help but wonder what the "today's-children-are-more-stressed-than-ever" crowd would say to this one from the NE Primer (1778 ed.):

Tbh that and Don’t Panic by Coldplay are the two lasting contributions of that film. I already liked the shins but would have never gotten into the other two without it

i love pretty jewelry and am obsessed with loving and hating the british, more or less

It’s like the phrase “wild pregnancy” was invented to make me, specifically, lose my fucking mind

the more you read about this stuff, the more that Foucault's point about the exaggeration of Victorian repression rings true. We want to imagine the past as being more prudish than it really is because it makes us feel more free than we really are

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

An extraordinary, beautiful, and heartbreaking piece by writer & environmentalist Tatiana Schlossberg (Caroline Kennedy’s daughter).

My prayers go out to her and her family.

saying "the health insurance is excellent" over and over again like it's a damn mantra today

god is testing me today, folks

a conspiracy theorist was elected to Congress and became blackpilled by actually seeing how washington works

“Rentier class,” it’s a beautiful word, an old fashioned word but it’s beautiful, and they are a big problem I’ll tell you. Not good

man, the *only* positive, relatable quality that trump has is that he has no object permanence, let alone the ability to remember the argument he was making 48 hours prior

re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Professors are not complaining so much about this because they care so much about honor. If students using AI were coming to class way more prepared rather than way less you wouldn’t hear from most of us

I really just did not appreciate this part of the experience when I was a student! I was so concerned about my performance that I neglected to just drink it all in

I would say it is FFO Duncan Sheik’s Barely Breathing

lol Kevin Jonas just released his first ever solo single and I really did think I had managed to transcend my Jonas obsession but I’m back in the hole again

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.

Nothing more annoying that boomers who act theatrically annoyed when they see you walking while looking at your phone. A white guy just jumped into my path and then was like “watch it!” like I was a disgrace to humanity

Oh, I would say it's like 75 percent woke Calvinism and the other 25 is regular Calvinism. Subsequent books in the series are 100 percent woke Calvinism

I don't think it's a coincidence that as printing got cheaper and easier, even the newspapers started to fill up with dumb bullshit

i mean “woke calvinism” was an incredibly influential tendency in the american religious tradition from like the 17th century onwards!

And I’m trying to bring it back!!! The good parts at least

apparently max has started describing my theological leanings to friends as "Woke Calvinism" and he is honestly not wrong

When I saw this news, my first thought was "Man, Kevin deserved a reprieve here, however brief"

honestly a shocking thing for someone to say on camera lmao bsky.app/profile/lady...
