watching Multiplication Rock as an adult: 😃 "I love how helpful these are for learning math!"
watching Grammar Rock as an adult: 😃 "I grew up on these! so catchy!"
watching America Rock as an adult: ☹
watching Science Rock as an adult: 😃 "they did a great job making science accessible to kids!"

I just realized she looks like a white Dakota and now I can't unsee it.
also there's something really funny about how this is the Schoolhouse Rock version of, like, Woman as a concept. like, at the start of the sufferage song she turns into a bunch of different historical photographs of women; like, she represents all women. like yeah sure that's The Woman

relistening to a bunch of Schoolhouse Rock and wow it's amazing just how overwhelmingly mid the Prepositions song is. no wonder I had no idea what prepositions were when I was a kid. this is like a shockingly low point for the series

"just come legally!!"
Under the policy announced today, the United States will have a ban on nearly all legal immigration in place for 93 nationalities accounting for roughly half of all legal immigrants, including 90% of African immigrants. The most anti-legal immigrant admin ever: www.cato.org/blog/new-ban...

I feel like we (white people) don't give nearly enough credit to those people from Iran and North Africa who invented numbers. like can you imagine scientists at NASA trying to do the math required to launch a rocket using those dumb fuckass numerals that WHITE people invented? MXIII and shit?

There is precedent for this; Swedish and Norwegian naval ships have QR codes so that when they return to port they can scan da navy in.
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

fun fact: the one time that star trek ever mentioned Elon Musk by name, it was -- spoilers for Discovery season 1 -- an evil murder-hungry fascist predator manipulating an ethical scientist into torturing an innocent creature! that's Musk's legacy in star trek
He does not want Star Trek. He wants to co-opt the aesthetic of Star Trek to sell his techno-feudalist futurist wet dream. Star Trek hates men like him.
"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.
"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

my sort of underbaked take is i liked the dilbert comic strip as a kid because its depiction of a banal and arbitrary work environment where nonsensical top-down policies dictated my life resonated much more with my experience of school than my life later in the work force
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job
