The right has been trying to destroy schools since they were founded hundreds of years ago. Secular, public education is an anathema to the racist and religious indoctrination required to maintain right wing communities.
This is very much a two birds, one stone moment for their agenda.
This voting season has a very different feel from 2020. I’ve been trying to understand what’s up.
Because there’s not the same kind of public displays of right wing movements, I feel that it seems like a safer situation on a large scale. The tradeoff is that the right wing nutjobs don’t have the same public visible groups to join and yell about life with. They’re likely going to be much more likely to lash out through terroristic acts and to be more individually violent.
So, while there’s not nearly the same quantity of truck convoys of deplorables driving around waving flags, that same energy is going to be distilled into a more potent sludge of evil under the surface.
The same meme with “wiring and lights” at the top. Then you descend to motors, transformers delta-y phases, RC and RL circuits, op amps, BJT circuits, reverse bias what?, differential equations, and eventually signals and systems.
The summary that I liked from the last post was “python is the second best language for everything”. There’s always something specialized and better for every given job. But, if you want one tool that’ll do a solid job everywhere, python is your go to.
If the government financial trams aren’t already investigating it, then they’re stupid. This is shooting fish in a barrel for financial crimes.
We’re entering the ‘blockchain for every need’ stage. Expect massive money to flow into scams, poor ideas, and outright dangerous uses for a few years .
Before Blockchain we had ‘the web’ itself in the dot com era. Before that? I saw it in basic computing as a solution to everything.
I had a student came into office hours asking why their program got a bad grade. I looked and it didn’t actually do anything related to the assignment.
Upon further query, they objected saying that the CI pipeline built it just fine.
So …yeah… You can write a program that builds and runs, but doesn’t do the required tasks, which makes it wrong. This was not a concept they’d figured out yet.
As per all too often, the functional programming world invented them. Haskell (and its ilk) usually has all the future cool stuff already. Then python picks it up, then it moves over to C#/Java, then C++ says “mee too”!
Yes, yes we are. And it’s getting worse in many cultural groups.
woke Marxist liberal critical race theory.
Any more smooth brain buzzwords we can throw in there?
They’re afraid to be called unfair after he said that they’d be unfair. It’s one of the strategies that us uses to suppress fighting back against his lies and ineptitude.
First, your preemptively accuse someone of something. Second you do awful things that would normally rightfully get a response, but the authorities have to be careful otherwise you’ll accuse them of doing the thing they should be doing. Third, you get your way even though you broke the rules, or you get to yell about how you knew, just knew! That you’d be treated badly.
He goes to this, but writes to get out of attending criminal case sessions? He does this mostly because he hates losing to women and he likes fucking up NYC traffic with his motorcade shit.
Every Olympics is a political catastrophe. I’ve now watched all too many of them. They’re huge events and all it takes is some controversy or a fuck up by some middle manager and the whole world freaks out.
Overall, this one East that bad on France’s, except probably the river pollution thing (which I hope pushes them to long term cleanup efforts). Most of the rest was all the USA (we’re #1 in being assholes to people) being assholes. Our pearl clutching about religious insensitivity, transphobic right wing hatred, and generally bring dicks was well over the top. So, that’s not on France, but the US and our own swimming in Christian nationalist right wing sewage that spilled over onto the rest of the Olympics.
My feeling was that President Obama kept compromising. It seemed that he was trying to get people moving together and he went too far into the appeasement side of things with the alt right racist arm. It was also the real power growth cycle for Fox News and early online podcast/streamers. They are fast on the backs of the racist counter swell… And we got the fallout over the last decade now.
This is a great list.
I wear loose athletic pants for long flights. Not bedtime sweatpants, but Adidas style pants. I wear comfy shoes, that I unlace once I start napping.
I bring a sweatshirt so it becomes a pillow and something to pull over my eyes if it’s needed.
I also have a couple of airplane blankets and I bring my own. It comes in handy on flights where we cheap seats people don’t get blankets, and in airports when it’s nap time. I roll it up tight and strap it on the bottom of my backpack.
I also bring Sudoku puzzles. It’s a nice diversion from watching videos the whole way.
Of course not. They are obviously suffering from Obama Derangement Inferiority Occupational Unawareness Syndrome (ODIOUS).
Geez. I really had to reach to get that acronym to work.
Our fucking stupid car enslaved cities claim another person’s life. It happens hundreds of times per day, thousands around the world. We have to change how we build our transit infrastructure to stop this horrific death mill we call roads.
Hyperbolic? Maybe. Wrong? Not really.
Lay off Vance, everyone! The risk of actually showing how stupid and robotic this guy is is that he might get replaced on the VP candidate slot. He’s a terrible choice that’s driving people away, but if he gets replaced literally a bowl of soup would be a better choice.
Who would have guessed that she’s corrupt? Strange that she’s acting just like her right wing anti-Constitution bosses on the Supreme Court. I wonder how that kind of corruption trickles down.
