The press conference just underscores the need for DC to become a state no matter what tbh: Trump failed at taking over LA but is basically easily garrisoning DC for no reason other than the fact that DC is not a state.

It's like an iron law of Twitter that the only tweets that blow up are the tweets made in a fraction of a minute when you're sitting on the toilet. I feel like this happens disproportionately

This is why homeschooling needs to be more regulated, but this is also like just under the median kid at those ages iirc. I know Twitter really skews towards higher income individuals, but you can easily find public schools where the median kid is doing *worse*

The most liberal red state is easily Alaska (although Alaska is also just Weird), but MAGA blue state is so much harder. Probably New York?

It's funny that people think this means that Meta is moving away from AI, when actually it's just the super intelligence team kind of couping the old AI team: the Llama was kind of a failure

Seeing parental backlash against phone bans just makes me think we need *even less* parental involvement in schooling, ngl. Phone bans are unambiguously positive for student learning!

It's crazy musk made a mashup of Grimes and his favorite anime girl so that he could goon to it, and that dozens of highly qualified CS grads are apparently fine building it (for, to be fair, pretty high salaries)

With the rise of (very good) autotranslation of text, and live autotranslation tooling getting better, we've probably reached "peak English". In like 10 years, everything can be dubbed or translated "well enough" to where learning English wouldn't be needed online imo.

this is how it feels to still be unironically for 1 billion Americans after literally everyone is trying to distance themselves from that idea

It's pretty funny to me that despite the fact a *lot* of unions seem to make fucking over New York their primary goal (even over protecting their members), New York is still easily the best city in the U.S.
