The issue is that in the US the voters are easily swayed by an image of a mythical American past. These men from that era fit a fantasy. And I donβt understand why they wonβt retire. I believe theyβre out of touch. Itβs the same in business and academia as well. Much older men are often in charge.

Yes but who is directing Rubio and Hegseth? Musk is in a different category of problem as a billionaire. Iβm talking about these politicians. Isnβt it depressing to you to know the US pres has so often been a boomer, for so long?

When someone says βScientists do not want you to knowβ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They canβt shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

At least 148 dead after reported strike on school, Iran says
Iran has blamed the US and Israel for the strike; the US is looking into reports of the incident, while the IDF says it is
The mass murder of civilians in Gaza, the brazen attacks on hospitals and schools, without any accountability has created a new kind of warfare that should terrify and enrage all of us.

Trump Has No Plan for the Iranian People
The mere act of bombing Iran will not by itself create a stable regime.
The American bombardment of Iran has been launched without explanation, without Congress, without public support. Above all it has been launched without a coherent strategy for the Iranian people, and without a plan to let them build a legitimate Iranian state.

Not to be an unfunny nag, butβ¦. this is really kinda misogynistic- it makes fun of women who are sex workers (=punching down) at the same time it makes fun of a woman politician.
As if bad female pols are the equivalent of sex workers. Which they are not - this one clearly doesnβt work as hard!

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

It's not hyperbolic. It's not conspiratorial. The presidential-controlled Justice Dept covering up victim testimony of alleged crimes against a child by the US president is the most atrocious scandal in US history.
There should be blanket media coverage & bipartisan demands for Trump's resignation.

As the parent of a teen - and a professional teacher myself - I want to point out that inadequate explanations by teachers account for a LOT of chatbot use by teens. Especially in math and science.
Letβs do better, teachers! Then the kids who are paying attention wonβt need to ask chatGPT.

In academia, women being forced to carry their image around w them is still very real.
The male gaze has shaped who can βriseβ from the ranks of grad students to the rank of full professor over the last 30-40 years.
Senior women in academia are more attractive than could be expected by chance. π
