I'm no fan of Patton Oswalt but it seems just so, when he's finally right about something for once, the teen porn-loving moderation team bans him for it

if any of the guys who retired from leadership positions in the fossil fuel industry pre-1977 are still alive, I'd say we need to round them up for unrelated reasons, such as possibly being literal immortal vampires

oh they've all known. their own industry research showed the greenhouse effect was 1. real 2. deleterious and 3. almost definitely caused primarily by fossil fuel burning, all the way back in the 1970s

intelligence is a hegemonic value, yknow, it's how a bunch of people who are demonstrably not skilled, insightful, competent, or any other associated positive quality have skated on the reputation of being "genuises" for so long nonetheless, purely from their class positionality and putting on airs

the broad resurgence of both "ironic" and unironic use of the r-slur has me coming back to the idea: even if the randos who jump down your throat about it online are annoying, I do think people ought to put some real thought toward why/how IQ terms like "stupid/idiotic" are go-to synonyms for Bad

when they wise up, they just start getting mad at any housing being built that isn't single-family residential zoned suburb development. God forbid you put up a dense apartment building, think of their poor, plummeting property values

I think part of the confusion with Whole Language/3-Cueing is evidently a significant minority, something like 30-40% of people will probably learn to read semi-competently regardless of how they're taught, so it doesn't look like a total failure even if the other 60-70% are objectively worse off

the Tea Party was backed by some of the wealthiest monsters of the day. Soaked in Koch brother, corporate and megachurch money. The left has no equivalent because there is no rational incentive for the wealthy capitalist class to back leftist candidates or policies that curtail their profits/control

the last time we tried to do a small scale pressure campaign for a local election, the Michigan Democratic Party changed their own primary voting rules on the fly to ratfuck the popular candidate and keep their hand-selected billionaire nepo baby airhead in the race

worst thing is, it wasn't even No Child Left Behind that did this. NCLB was a conservative bill and fell on the side of conservative, old-school curricula, including phonics. 3-cueing was kind of a hippie thing being trialed at expensive private schools (with a lot of support/tutors) at the time

whole point of public education is that you cannot trust that everyone is going to get the absolute fundamental developmentally important functioning-in-society skills, like reading, at home. Kids shouldn't be condemned to lifelong illiteracy or ignorance just because their parents are/were
