Can’t be, since Hormuz doesn’t bring it up in EVERY conversation

Home security systems are safety theater. They make us feel like we’re in control, but they don’t actually reduce the risk of violence.

If anything, they’re a part of a broader, predatory industry that exploits our fears and *increases* the risk of violence to keep us spending money.

1. Are you currently using an AI tool for work-related tasks or projects? * Yes * No, but I would like to (PLEASE SKIP TO QUESTION 7)

My employer asks me to complete a survey on AI usage for which this is the first question (required):

GOP congressman from Tennessee Andy Ogles posted on Ex-Twitter on March 9: “Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie.”

“Pluralism is a lie”
 
That really captures the essence of MAGA: A movement at war with the reality of American life and a large portion of the population.
 
And it also points to one of the regime’s key weaknesses: They have fully bought into their own white nationalist propaganda.

Cover art for Discover Calculus. The background shows a plane flying over water in an arc. Reflected in the water is the plane and its arc but also diverging curves, rippling in the water. In the background is a bridge and some lights. The sky is dark with shining stars, a crescent moon, and beautiful clouds. The whole picture is a warm grey/brown with black hatch shading and white highlights. Discover Calculus Single-Variable Calculus Topics with Motivating Activities Peter Keep

It's here! @acidlich.bsky.social created this beautiful cover art, perfect as a representation of the book. While students will mostly be interacting with the book digitally, I'm very excited for the printed copies that we'll be making to give to students as well!

Today is MAR 10, aka Mario day. It is also extremely close to the spring equinox.

This implies a cycle of Wario Day (fall equinox), Luigi Day (summer solstice), and Waluigi Day (winter solstice).

It's, like, their whole deal. It's also why *actual* education is their kryptonite

You know who DO believe in generational projects of cultural transmission though? Fascists

Happy Super Mar10 Day 😀

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

Kennedy, WHO WAS RECENTLY SEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA DOING RIDICULOUSLY POORLY-FORMED KIPPING PULL-UPS, is having rotator cuff surgery on Tuesday

Yep. If I don't know what you love, I don't care what you hate.

Because we can't have nice things

He was bonesmashing a little too hard and it's too tender to shave there

It's always the person you most expect

Ned and Maude Flanders, dressed in dinner-party finery, hug in front of a Pictionary board where Ned has drawn a small collection of scattered dots that Maude has correctly guessed is "cornstarch." Looking somewhat abashed, Ned intimates that "It's good for keeping down the urges."

Oh look, Doug Lemov — the Pete Hegseth of teacher training — is a darling of the AEI now. <notthatshocked.jpg>

"Ultra-processed" is for MAHA what "woke" is for MAGA.

The emptiness of the signifier is a feature for them, not a bug

This is the heart of the problem. "Ultra-processed" foods are considered unhealthy due to their chemical additives or their calorie density but neither of those have anything to do with "processing"!

This is just the word people use to talk about foods they don't like. Scientists should do better.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

a close up of a man 's face with his eyes closed and sweat coming out of his nose . Alt: Mr. Anderson / Neo (Keanu Reeves in "The Matrix") wakes up from a skills download and groggily says "I know Kung Fu"

"At long last, we have created the Matrix from the movie The Matrix"

"Listen to me instead, a white supremacist maniac with a narcissism that is insatiable"

This is a Steely Dan song

Homer Simpson walks out of The Frying Dutchman's all-you-can-eat seafood bar carrying a hotel steam tray piled high with shrimp, and a limp-looking whole fish in his mouth. A cook chases after him trying to get his attention, shouting "Please don't take the steam tray. Sir!"

That does not sound like the actions of a man who had "all" he could eat
