I feel so seen on the thermostat part and the leggings😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

As far as I know, there has never been a real postmortem on the whole "$99 computers will pull the Third World out of poverty" bit that pretty much everyone in tech treated as serious for at least a decade. It moved from WIRED covers, TED talks, and UN proclamations to silence.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that the eruption of Vesuvius preserved a fresco in Pompeii showing the initiation rites of the cult of Isis—a worshipper venerating the sarcophagus of Osiris.

The publisher has just given Robert Jessel & me the go-ahead to share the link to pre-order Pornocracy. Find it here: bit.ly/40EnrEk Also, this week we'll each have an article out arguing for (me) & against (Rob) age verification.

This is problematic. Sydney Sweeney’s jeans adverts and photos shouldn’t be celebrated, and we shouldn’t be cheering her on. This is harmful to women and young girls, who now have an unreal expectation forced upon them that it’s ok to wear double denim and not be laughed at.

shitlibs are policing other shitlibs for criticizing the Sydney Sweeney ad while not wearing COVID masks (this is real)

I taught High School Sciences for 33 years. I thought NCEA was flawed from the start. There is strong evidence that Reading, writing and maths should be the ONLY focus at Primary school. They are the prerequisites of education. Find a better Secondary qualification!

This is something I am acutely aware of. Millennials are softies, but I suspect that the generations that come behind us won't hesitate to the pull the pin on our super when it finally becomes accepted that we can't afford it.

I'm making my formal offer to the New Zealand government use my position as a teacher in Estonia to (shamelesssly) steal their qualifications system. Please DM me Mr Luxon.

I'm a holder of NCEA lvl 3 + UE. When I came to Estonia, I found that I had a maths education roughly equivalent to a local year 10 student (16-17). To catch up for my studies here I had to redo about two years of education and even enrolled in a local adults high school.

There was a time in the not so distant past when it would have been seen as contrary to the dignity of a head of government to make themselves available to be photographed with sex fetishists. This event crystallizes a longer term process of subversion that has over time eroded

If anyone is writing wedding thank yous or any other type of thank yous, no advice will ever beat Lemony Snicket's:

Wow. The Lancet has gone bonkers It just ran a book review arguing that focusing on sperm/eggs as male/female is bad bcuz it promotes "gametic" bigotry, & so “fuels unhinged panic in some quarters about transgender threats to traditional gender roles” This is a MEDICAL journal

When did hunger and cravings get rebranded as “food noise”?

Finally, after 3.5 years, I feel like I can emerge from the Giggle v Tickle bubble I have been living in and it feels so good. How am I feeling about it all? So, so, so good. Better than I have ever felt before. Not just relieved but confident. We took facts & the correct
