6th graders used ratio reasoning to consider which doll body parts are the most absurd. (This project was inspired by another 6th grade teacher. Paying it forward for anyone else who might want to try. brimmermay-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/person...) #mtbos

I want to meet the person at the Ontario provincial government who found quality audio of an anti-tariff speech by Ronald Reagan and thought to use it in an ad during the ALCS. They've got to be feeling the kind of high that only comes along once or twice in a career.

Sal Khan's career is very much a "right place right time" situation and he has not learned a single thing about teaching in all these years.

I feel really sorry for Alan Moore. A genius, born into a world that cannot read.

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about
He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war: The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work. Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure. In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation. Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

‘Ozymandias is an antihero’ is n incredible read of Watchmen.

Same, but “son”.

Go Jays, all the way, but…🥴🥴🥴😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
knairn.bsky.social Kristie @knairn.bsky.social · Oct 10
I want to be clear that
1. As a Jays fan I think a Tigers team that limped to the finish line, with a spent Skubal, is a better matchup for me personally
2. As a proud daughter of Windsor Ontario, a Jays-Tigers ALCS matchup makes me wanna fuckin puke

these “divisive issues” are always like, “would Jesus want us to round up poor immigrants, tear them away from their children and throw them in camps,” and it’s really hard to read the Bible and come to any conclusion other than “no, seems like not”
