The problem with a naturally servile man is that he will make himself a slave to just about anyone.

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine? They don't even need approval"

Absolutely hilarious exchange here. Bass: "When we're talking about influence, there are very influential people who are supporting your campaign, who are very very much advocates for bike lanes." Raman: "Um...yes?"

Your semi-regular reminder that there is no mainstream survey of American religion that indicates a religious revival among Gen Z. In fact, they are 7 points more likely to be non-religious than Millennials. And 19 points more likely to be nones than Gen X.

The socialist threat is coming from inside the house
Daniel Di Martino
@DanielDiMartinoOct 13
Two years ago, what share of GOP voters would agree with government ownership of companies? Now 29% of GOP voters do. More than Democrats. This must be reversed. Those who pushed for this may come to regret it if America becomes a socialist country.

Ossoff has become for Dems what Republicans hoped Vance would be for them and he's just much better at it, in no small part because Ossoff is comfortable in his own skin, unlike JD

Carson’s “The Glass Essay” is, among many other things, the best breakup essay ever written.

American sports: skill-level tracking, regimentation, explicit instruction, drilling American math education: ???
Matthew Yglesias
@mattyglesiasSep 30
The phantom menace of “drill and kill” is leading educators away from the basics of how you teach almost anything to novices — deeper understanding has to follow from fluency in the fundamentals. slowboring.com/p/math-needs-…

THIS!!!! My kid's MANDARIN IMMERSiON school does not believe in anything involving MEMORIZATION. A lot of education seems mired in some kind of permanent stupidity perpetuation trap & it's fucking evil
Tisya Mavuram@tmavuramSep 20
There’s a lot to say about Nikole Hannah-Jones’ parenting, but the infinitely more important thing here is how there are entire schools that just don’t assign homework or teach children anything. This is really bad! We should all be more angry about that! There should be riots in the streets!
