Sometimes you can avoid public embarrassment by chatting with a Genx person

Make yours Colonial Predator Coffee. Stock up before the weekend begins. "All the Oppression. Twice the Caffeine." And hey smile. You and your family earned it.

when people say they're fine with legal immigration, what they mean is they're fine with immigration that is orderly, well-administered, and passes some cost-benefit test that they assume is embodied in the law these are all extremely reasonable requisites

Sometimes I see an image and laugh before even searching for the internet slap fight

This picture has a sound, and if you know you know.

the state fair goes so hard

Over the five years between 2019 and 2024, the paramount focus of the Seattle Public Schools was on improving outcomes for black boys. Enormous attention and resources were invested into that effort, yet the achievement gaps in Seattle, already large, grew significantly worse. I do something we don’t much like to do in Seattle when it comes to confronting truths that might challenge some of our foundational progressive and culturally cosmopolitan commitments: I interrogate, in unsparing detail, in an article published today by the Center for Educational Progress, the question of why this effort failed (article link to follow in next tweet). It’s a long piece, and no doubt my conclusions will rub some people the wrong way. But what happened is what happened, and what happened is at its core a story of pedagogical self-sabotage, and of good intentions built on a quicksand of misdiagnosis and ideological blindness, leading to poor outcomes. That story needed to be told, imo, for one thing because Seattle’s mistaken assumptions were repeated across many school districts in blue America over the last decade, and also because, if we refuse to dissect our failures and take the sometimes discomfiting lessons from what went wrong, we’re unlikely to ever do better in the future. Special thanks to CEP for publishing my piece - if you're not familiar, check them out on Substack, they are a think tank committed to the important work of advocating for excellence in public education - and to national education writer @karenvaites for (months ago now!) encouraging me to go beyond carping on social media and actually write something substantive about what I think went wrong at Seattle Public Schools.

This is why you can never trust them when they say anything is temporary.

Eye of Sauron incoming

Dan Ariely keeps getting caught doing fraud in increasingly obvious ways and nothing ever happens. He still holds a professorship at Duke. They just don't seem to care.

You're a terrible liar.

The relationship is so self-evident a five-yr-old can spot the problem.

This is the most incredible shot/chaser I've seen. In 2015 this communist lauds Canada for infinity immigration, saying it drives GDP. 11 years later, he's freaking out about Canada's GDP falling off a cliff, asking "what happened in 2015???" Stupid-smart people strike again!

I am sure there’s no way this practice contributes to these statistics:

That ship has long since sailed. Also it sank.

I leave you with a nightmare to haunt your dreams

At Barnes & Noble, looking at the most recent edition of D&D and we need some sort of resolution to the bard youth problem

Dragons are like Undead. They show up in almost every cultures mythos somewhere.

Why is there so much fagtastic anti-dairy propaganda these days
