this is the most importnt article I've read about education in years. How did this happen? I remember seeing all the commercials about Hooked on Phonics and thinking "don't they teach phonics in schools anymore? why is this necessary?"
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Now THAT's a headline I appreciate.

Democrats Can’t Blame Trans People for Their Own Failures
Despite the attempts by so many in the party’s establishment to paint trans rights as a toxic issue, transphobia was soundly rejected across the country this week.

I was trying to scroll threads today and spent half my time trying to get through all the misinformation. I need to make a macro that says "source?" So frustrating

if anyone dared to ask me id say "because im sick and contagious, want me to take it off"
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Okay so some real talk: I am fully aware that there are many gatekeepers in the arts that hate me. I know a big part of it is that I’ve bypassed them and still found an audience for my work. But I am also aware it’s because of this bypassing I am much harder to control when I speak up.

Honestly I'm a little annoyed that Momdani is taking so much attention away from the fact that Dick Cheney is finally dead. Oh well, I guess I'll let the guy have his win. But tomorrow we're definitely peeing on Cheney's grave (metaphorically)

Just some naked bigotry on Real Time this week, as Bill Maher 1. Says the allegations against Cuomo are "bull shit" ("we did a deep dive on that") 2. Dems should have a "Sister Souljah" moment via stopping Mamdani from winning, partly because "he's a Ugandan citizen" and "they kill gay people there"

@calscalzones.bsky.social can you make any sense of this?
This is a response to a review for a game intended for 9 year-olds.
this is very funny - the subject line was "review corrections"

If I was to the last episode of my podcast, I'd try to get one of my earliest or longest running guests. I havent listened to WTF in ages but the thought of wrapping up Everything is Awesome and not trying to get Mel or Shakim or Fred Bowski or Kc Kaos, it's absurd. And a neolib dickhead to boot?
More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.
