*puts another quarter in the soapbox meter* and further more you missed the point of all my other tangents to understand that yes it does matter that the body is dichotomous and as any programmer can tell ya, an array is just everything between 0 and 1. whatlikeitshard(dot)gif *overtime meter beeps*

My kid is in a rare dual-track vocational + college prep program in high school. Teaching trades is important and good. Steering kids to trades while underfunding public education in order to reify a caste system that benefits the rich and powerful is not. Guess which one Linda McMahon is doing.

In a college sociology class in the late 1980s I was assigned a Marxist analysis of education that argued that the US education system is designed primarily to produce efficient workers for the labor market. And now Trump’s Department of Education is just tweeting it out.

this is literally what I do for a living and it's called "blameless root cause" where you identify everything that went wrong without assigning blame to any one person in particular. the NTSB really went all in on this and it's one of the reasons airplane travel is/(was?) so safe in the US.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.

The only *guaranteed* piece of craft advice I can give -- I mean the advice that is universally applicable -- is that if you kill many other writers and eat their scribere gland (roughly the size of a black-eyed pea, so be careful not to damage it) then your prose will improve immensely

Not incidentally, sex ed and social media, two of the big things the Think of the Children crowd want to restrict children's access to, are the first place a lot of kids encounter the concept that a person with nominal authority over you doesn't get to touch you without permission
