A man?? winning the Booker prize????? Is that even possible? It hasn't happened since the far-flung days of 2023. Our legends say that a man also won it in the ancient, prehistoric era of 2021, but surely that is just an old wives tale meant to frighten MFA students before bed.

I believe the purpose of education is to help everyone create a healthy, informed, curious, and compassionate society.
A lot of education discourse is at root an inability to decide whether the purpose of our education system is to 1) teach material and measure learning 2) reward students who work hard 3) separate the smart kids (destined for smart guy jobs) from the dumb kids (destined to serve the smart guys)

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

I learned english in the bougie private school my parents sent me to in Mexico. Every week we had to learn the meaning and spelling of 30 words. EVERY WEEK. The words came from the book we reading that month.
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

You buy a face mask for a toddler you pretty much deserve whatever the stupid trillionaires have planned for all of us.

How many contact hours you get in GenChem?
We have 2.5 of lecture and this semester we finally created 1 hour recitations run by TAs. 3 hour labs. And here I am wondering if the reason other places seem to be able to cover more:
1) Lab is complementary rather than repetitive
2) More contact hours

The mega churches and their parishioners are now pushing back online, claiming they don’t offer aid because they’re afraid of being scammed.
If you would rather keep your $20 and risk letting a baby starve than stump up for a tin of formula for someone not in need then you’re no follower of Christ.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

We are in the midst of an all-out attempt to exclude the global majority from science. Watson was clear about where he fell on that. I would trade every single dinner, meeting, seminar, fancy campus, and prestigious donor for my incredible friends to be safer. Their science is worth far more.
