Someone should call him upand ask him if he still has the picture of Trump with bikini girls in Epstein's kitchen, cause I think some news outlets would probably pay beaucoup bucks for that one

As the podcast pointed out, the issue dates back to the publication of a paper in 1967. It's a matter of technique, even with the simplest books, rather than any particular technology.
I just do not understand the aversion to practising spelling out loud. Drilling simple actions works really well.

Rude. 'Body' includes policymakers and everyone shaping the curriculum.
Could we maybe focus on the question of why there has been such an aversion to basic learning techniques like repetition in American education?
Again, I am not blaming individual teachers.

Why would people in one of the most demanding high-stress jobs fall ill when you jack their stress levels into overdrive by not paying them? It's a real mystery.

That's why I said 'as a body, not as individuals'. You don't need to be defensive about it.
The point is these shortcuts aren't effective and it's bizarre to me (and most non-Americans) that American schools have avoided using effective tools like repetition for so long.

Having grown up up outside the US, this is bizarre to me. It seems like American educators (as a body, not individuals) are obsessed with cutting corners instead of doing the basics like spelling or memorizing simple arithmetic operations. Repetition isn't thrilling or sufficient, but it works.

Bad people don't stand there and announce what they're going to do, giving you time for a brave gesture of solidarity, they just do it. Are just gonna jump in and start wrestling the goons? No you're not. Maybe if 10+ of you happen to be there at the right time.

Bluesky blocking is poorly designed. It's very easy for someone to post bait and then block people who respond, making the respondents appear to be at fault and making many conversations incomprehensible. It's a design failure which is damaging community growth.

My life has improved so much since I stopped reading op-eds
It's one thing if it's a domain expert explaining some fundamentals people ought to be aware of, but most op-ed writers' skillset is limited to persuasion

Correct, and with that leverage the Dems could have forced the GOP to add healthcare subsidies to the budget. Now they've away the initiative in favor of starting all over again.

Fight with what leverage? Your 8 colleagues just gave away the one bargaining chip you had. How are you going to hold the GOP accountable? they'll just vote it down and give you the finger.
Do you realize how many midterm votes you just torched?

Get rid of Schumer and tell Padilla to wake up. He hasn't posted anything here in four months. I'm sick of elected Democrats who just ignore their constituents.

If this was true they'd have been out selling it to the public beforehand. Anyone who surprises you in an unpleasant way and then tries to sell you on the merits afterwards is a liar.
