Science has enough bodies I'm donating mine to pre-calculus just to spice things up a bit. Like just to one classroom in particular though. Please enjoy.

The city of Albany would fully collapse without its young people, but there’s just enough old grumpy people to have to contend with when discussing outlets and gatherings for babies to college students. It’s annoying and keeping the city from progressing beyond an empty shell.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.
Also just thinking about different Mitch McConnell’s legacy would be if he’d voted for impeachment and conviction. Had a chance to have a right side of history last roll of the dice and chickened out

Silence AI bot! I'm about to block you. Your silly creator probably believes that an expensive egg sandwich makes people vote nazi. No. I want to block them too. If an expensive egg sandwich makes you vote nazi? Then you are a nazi. There's no such thing as a Hitler McMuffin.
People pretend to be mad at *the techniques* of DEI. But they are not mad at the techniques. Because when done correctly, DEI techniques are completely legal, fair, and common sense. They don't advantage any one group over another. They simply remove unfairness. It's *the outcome* that racists hate
The Democratic establishment crash-out is a wonderous thing to see. A bunch of people, their organization named after democracy, unable to handle the results of just a few popular elections, appealing to the unspoken rules of a club they thought belonged exclusively to them. Let's do it everywhere.
Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies: “What a weird thing to say” “Do you hear yourself right now?” “You shouldn’t say shit like that to people” “I won’t let you talk to them that way” “That’s a disgusting opinion to have” “Shut the fuck up, dude”

It's Sunday! And that means it's time to shake things up with a little grown-up show and tell! So show us something neat and tell us about it! Something you made, something you did, something you're proud of. Friends, pets, family. Anything really! Go on, show us!
So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count
BREAKING: The judge in the $1.7B slush fund suit has dismissed the case, but she says THERE IS NO SETTLEMENT OF RECORD. As I said earlier, the media must stop reporting that this slush fund is a settlement. It's just plain THEFT. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
1. Over the last few days I have received a set of queries about my research. The first one I thought was legitimate, and I was planning to answer when the second arrived, and then the third, from the same sender. Viewed together, they’re clearly LLM generated.
As with many crises, fighting rarely solves them. Even for dominating powers - really, dominance is as much a trap as a benefit. The answers are in political choices. And the value of being a superpower is the ability to compromise your way to even more power. But these folks don't get it.
Black people don't vote *towards* Dems. Black people vote *away* from racism. Because racists are such conveniently bad people, being able to identify and vote away from racism, means that you also vote away from fascism, sexism, transphobia, grift, war, economic ruin, and climate destruction.🤷🏿♂️
OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters." www.techdirt.com/2026/02/19/d...

Lisa Marie Rhody@lmrhody.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt's stunning how ignorant the DOGE bros were who were sent into agencies. Justin Fox cannot even articulate in his own words what his "present understanding of DEI" is: he can't even formulate a coherent sentence about it. I wouldn't hire him for basic tech support. #NEH youtu.be/jomaMvItnew?...

I find the 'how many weeks will the war go?' questions odd. The war is going to continue until Iran no longer has the capacity to block shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz or chooses to stop doing so. Given the economic impact of strait closure, it really cannot end before that.

President Trump says he is committed to ending an authoritarian regime run by a combination of extremist theocrats and elites intent on enriching themselves.
They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.

I fear with all the controversy around the halftime show we lose sight of why we actually have a Super Bowl in the first place, the commercials.
We got fascism and AI instead of replicators and flying cars. I will never forgive technocrats for this
The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...
