So fun. This has to be a wink at the TNG "efficiency porn" idea, right? I feel like @pftompkins.bsky.social put this idea in my head from the Pod Directive; a perfect episode of star trek is just the crew doing a good job exploring a nebula or whatever. No instigating event (or no stakes anyway)

This isn’t helping the argument that the entire thing comes off as a prison docility experiment and the parents are just now catching on that the real purpose is carrot-stick enforcement of goal metrics.

They’re workforce management’ing education like a call center or data processor.

Maybe so! I haven't found another kind yet! But, call me naive, I don't want to categorically assume people who disagree w me on this are wrong.

Abcnews graphic: surreal moment as coyote drinks water from skylight window on top of Los Angeles hair salon (Image of exactly that, except the framing is canted and as a result it looks like a coyote imprisoned in a glass square a la the phantom zone from Superman)

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

Do you happen to have those h2h polls handy? I saw one with C 40.6 and M 44.7 with 4 pt MoE--have there been others? Would love to see them!

Mamdani: "But there is one thing that I will change: I will no longer look for myself in the shadows. I will find myself in the light."

Tracked this down and can I just say, finally we get to have the convoluted arguments that British politics has all the time

This is also my question

Looks like I picked the wrong decade of my life to stop being paranoid about companies abusing my personal data and opting out of absolutely everything I can
