Unpopular opinion of the day: I don't care what colleges say about the accessibility benefits of remote learning. 100% online totally asynchronous MBA programs are nothing but a scam and a cash grab. They promote credentialism, not learning or higher order skill development.

Uncomfortable truth of the day:
College is voluntary. It is not designed to be frictionless, it's is intended to force students struggle and be uncomfortable. Knowledge is acquired through discomfort.
Why aren't more people taking about this??

Just leaving this curse-free episode of Better Offline here. Fellow Xennials, thank goodness most of us have another 15+ years of productivity ahead before we seriously consider retirement because our stock portfolios are seriously effed in the short term. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

The cruelty is the point.
+ money, of course.
It is not a crime to be poor, but without a safety net the struggling are more likely to participate in illegal acts to survive. When caught, populations in for-profit prisons rise = more available cheap inmate labor. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...
Well, no shit. Spend some time in Iowa which has been in a recession since before this year’s tariffs were enacted. This is why rural Americans hate “costal elites”.

I’m going to need someone to calculate the odds the average inhabitant of this planet will enjoy the promised benefits of quantum computing before global markets collapse.

Trump is in Des Moines where residents must limit water usage because of alarmingly high nitrate levels in our drinking water supply. But nothing can be done to curtail nitrate run-off from agriculture because the ag industry is important to this state.
And this is just the beginning…
Watch out for agitators during #NoKings. They will not scare us. Trump's shock troops have been planning for this. They want to start a hot civil war.

"I have nothing to hide! I don't need digital privacy!" Well...
- AI companies are scraping your data
- Scammers are using AI to get better at their schemes
- And yeah, a new era of government surveillance...

This is all part of the plan. What I vaguely remember about 1982 is playing with my baby sister in the lobbies of banks for hours on end while my parents negotiated with bankers in attempt to keep their farm. I was 5. Many of parents’ closest friends had sold their farms and left the state by 1986

We let kids redo assignments & retake tests as many times as needed to pass, and even Iowa’s highschool graduation rate is under 90%. When does all the winning start?
