No.

Americans are completely retarded now.

Those who say North America was uninhabited in 1491 are wrong.

Those who say the US did not have churches in 1776 are mistaken.

Those who think the USA had food stamps in 1880 are incorrect.

Those who say that the Vietnam War never happened are stupid.

Those who think that the USA doesn't have any racists are dumb.

Those who say the World Trade Center is still standing are insane.

Or they blame the Covid lockdowns, or the woke virus in the schools, or any number of things other than the miserable, bleak future kids can plainly see before them.

And as a teacher, it's being turned on us, with nearly all professional development over the last 3 years focused on things we can do differently, new things they want us to try, more work without additional pay, in order to solve the teen mental health epidemic.

To be fair, I think it's fantastic that some school districts are trying to address this problem, get staff to work from a more trauma-informed perspective, as it can make school more empathetic and less punitive; dig deeper to find the actual causes for tardiness and truancy and provide supports, when possible, rather than assume it's just bad behavior, requiring punishment; because it gets staff to listen more to their students and, hopefully, be less autocratic in their classrooms.

But like most educational reforms, they completely ignore the elephant in the room, the increasing poverty, decreasing access to healthcare, increasing costs of college, the existential threat of nuclear war and climate collapse--things that persist and grow worse nationally, globally, regardless of how much extra work they squeeze out of us at school.

Honda has suspended car production in Mexico on Tuesday. It is unclear when operations will resume. The suspension stems from a shortage of parts linked to tensions between the Netherlands and China over Nexperia, a Dutch semiconductor maker owned by Chinese investors.

Tried to get a response from FII Institite about this, but still curious about what happened to the “candid session” that was supposed to take place with Sachin Dev Duggal, founder of the highly scrutinized and now defunct company, Builder.AI

Appeared on early agenda in September, but vanished from final October agenda

two core beliefs I still have:

- until we destroy capitalism and tear down its power structures and build a better world such goals are at best pointlessly stupid and at worst actively damaging

The next job report will read like a casualty report from Stalingrad. Good luck blaming that on Biden.

"Kimmel enthusiastically embraced the challenge, dubbing it "The James C. Kimmel Cognitive Aptitude and Mental Brilliance Invitational." He quipped, "Not only do I want to see this contest happen, I want to make it happen... I want to give our brilliant, bigly-brained president a chance to teach those left-wing lightweights a thing or two about brain power live on national television."

M27, the Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula located about 1250 ly away in the constellation of Vulpecula.

A type of dying star, M27 was the first planetary nebula discovered, in 1764, by Charles Messier; though what it was wasn't known at that time.

Moving to a nursing home or assisted-living facility doesn’t have to feel like a loss, Dr. Leana S. Wen writes.

For those of you who read lots of papers or non-fiction that you need to reference again, how do you manage all of that data and relate it to other things?

I’ve been using #zotero and #obsidian to make a sort of knowledge management #wiki, but organizing the data from highlights takes considerable brain power. I’m sure this is just the way it’s gotta work, but I’d love any tips! I’d especially like tips on when to start refactoring or how to best organize things.
