Conversely, higher cognitive ability is uniformly associated with lower levels of online political participation. Those with both high psychopathy and low cognitive ability are the most actively involved in online political engagement.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.
However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

This sounds like a bit but I’m being serious: kids using chat gpt for their homework are denying themselves the invaluable experience of learning how to bullshit their way through a problem. You drink some caffeine the night before and figure it the fuck out. That’s a skill. You need it in life.

Working through a problem and, more than anything else, coming up with just the right way to write something, bring me great joy and satisfaction. I cannot imagine wanting to short-circuit that, so I'll never be objective about this shit. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/m...

Dearest Brits, temperatures are rising to 30 degrees in many places. Everyone understands that self-esteem issues are common, but I promise you no one cares what you look like without that big thick hoodie. We do, however, care what you smell like with it on.

See, Trump’s not a Nazi—the gestapo had uniforms!
Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
Breaking News: Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was detained by ICE agents at an immigration court as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest. nyti.ms/4jWkANE

Genuinely no idea why any non-American would visit the US right now. For any reason or length of time. I will pay any airfare and suffer any layover to avoid setting foot there even briefly.

I'd quote Martin Niemöller but what's the point!
They came for the Trans community, they're attacking the disabled & elderly through their benefit requirements.
Now the gloves are off to fight with Reform to see who can be the most xenophobic and racist. Apparently that's what being British means!🙄

English Literature teachers: On this day, please remember that no matter how much revising your students have or haven’t done, they will all get exactly the grades they deserve. Your students grades are not your grades. Let it go and focus on leading the next group of horses to water.

Classrooms are inherently political.
Every time a teacher covers a topic or historical figure or literature, they are being political. The politics of those they leave in and those they leave out.
