“Yes, I’m sorry even the hot ones with conflicted pasts”

Many lessons to be learned

The moral of the story is “boys are demons” which tbh—fair

I guess one of the few members of elite society who understands that 2024 will not last forever

Gambling on wrestling—don’t worry babe it’s a sure thing

Ah ok—I mean still extremely lame but I guess less of a cultural surrender than I thought

Now our socialists are like “Mamdani and Trump getting a long makes sense—some of my favorite people are Colorado elected republicans” and I just gotta say “thank you” because we made the mistake of electing a few of you and you were a DISASTER for progress.

Lowtax changing his pfp to a statue when?

Wow so you’re a revolutionary who hates economic development, new construction, green energy, medical advancement and prosperity? And your goal is for me to become a rural peasant living off subsistence farming? Ok cool please stay posting on X

I remember how much gloating MAGA did when ossoff lost the first time

I think it’s also some of this too

I also notice that online professors really love the engagement they get when “reporting from the field about how lost and unskilled this generation is” because it plays off of a human dynamic as old as pre-civilization.

“Kids these days don’t/cant/wont” is hardwired into our development.

There are more tools to cover for reading deficits but they don’t work as well as the expectations increase. I work in ed and it’s not as apocalyptic as this guy describes it even with high schoolers.

Professors talked like this about millennials too—so did every senior person in my early career.

The phones are really bad for adolescents, attention span, mental health etc—but this guy seems to be describing quite a it of illiteracy

2/3 of children need systematic phonics instruction and about 1/3 will require an intensive program to be on grade level.

I think the phones don’t help but a lot of children have never been given proper reading instruction because of a bad literacy program that Ed programs adopted nation wide.

I think this is less to do with phones and culture and more to do with the fact that from the mid-1990s until like 4 years ago teaching reading with phonics was actively discouraged in most university education programs and teacher training.
