@Oilfield_Rando Bonus, the drugs make you “undetectable!”

HIV medicine commercials always be like: 1. tallest, scariest mystery-race tr*anny you’ve ever seen 2. flaming gay interracial male couple, cuddling 3. normal looking black heterosexual woman, who is single

@realmikolson lol. Throwaway whore is now the leading… Catholic. Lolololololol.

Carrie Prejean Boller accuses Marco Rubio of being anti-Catholic because he’s a “Christian Zionist.” He’s been Roman Catholic his entire life. She’s been Catholic for—checks notes—5 minutes.

@OrionSpaceGirl @MrDanielBuck Liars raise liars.

@MrDanielBuck For me, it would be the parents who believe their baby would never do anything wrong and who believe their child is a genius, when if fact their child is a lazy, cheating, troublemaker who blatantly lies about all of their teachers to their parents.

Why do teachers quit? Maybe it’s the thrown chairs, the students screaming “fucking bitch,” biting them, disrespecting them, and refusing to follow the simplest commands like “please sit down” I dunno. Maybe that has something to do with it fordhaminstitute.org/national/comme…

@berniemoreno @DrewHolden360 Less than 5% of residential homes are “corporate owned”… After everyone goes after the boogeyman, and still can’t “afford a home” … what’s next? Government price controls?

Too many young families are seeing their American Dream slip away as large institutional investors price them out of the housing market. It’s a crisis. Homes are for people, not corporations. Congress has a chance to get this right, let’s get it done.

@DailyCaller @mattgaetz lol. He’s podcasting from a strip mall in Niceville.

@FamEdTrust @sometherapist Students literally keep wearing their hospital tags, weeks after their “incident” Generally a weekend in the Psych ward becomes a status symbol for some.

“Worryingly, this trend of romanticising autism has extended to other conditions that can be severe, debilitating, and life-threatening. There are now groups of self-advocates who celebrate depression and schizophrenia. This could also be related to the growth of pro-anorexia websites, as well as the more recent emergence of ‘addiction pride’.” aeon.co/essays/why-the…

@end3of6days9 “Deep cleaning (scaling), broken up into 2-4 visits - is the biggest scam in dentistry. It causes more harm to your gums and teeth.

This woman thought she was facing a $4,500 dental nightmare... until she discovered the real scam 💥 Her local US dentist laid out a long list of "must-do" work: deep cleaning, multiple procedures, the works. The bill came to a staggering $4,500. She refused to accept it. Sent the exact treatment plan to a clinic in Tijuana. Their initial quote came back at just $800. She booked the trip and the in-person evaluation changed everything: the Tijuana team looked her over and said, "You don't need half of this." No deep cleaning required. No unnecessary fixes. Final cost for what she actually needed? $235. Ever been quoted insane prices for dental or medical work? I have… now I wonder why I didn’t check pricing elsewhere. 👇

@Sally_Sharif1 I suggest your students start performing summatives of the material taught (open ended q/a) before assessments.

I just gave a closed-book, pen-and-paper midterm exam in my 300-level course at UBC with 100 students. All exams were graded by an experienced graduate-level TA according to a rubric. *** The average was 64/100.*** My class averages at UBC are usually 80-85. Context: • This was the first midterm, covering ONLY 4 weeks of material. • Students had a list of possible questions in advance: no surprise questions. • Questions included (a) 3 concept definitions, (b) 3 paragraph-long questions, and (c) a 1.5-page essay. • I have taught this class multiple times. Nothing in my teaching style changed this semester. • We read entire paragraphs of text in class, so students don't have to do something on their own that wasn't covered during the lecture. • Students take a 10-question multiple-choice quiz at the end of every class (30% of the final grade). • Attendance is 95-99% every class. Attention during lectures and participation in pair-work activities are very high → anticipating the end-of-class quiz. *** But unfortunately, I suspect many students are not reading the material on the syllabus. They are asking LLMs to summarize it instead.*** After the midterm, students reported: • They thought they knew concept definitions but couldn't produce them on paper. • They thought they understood the arguments but struggled to connect them or identify points of agreement and disagreement. My view: It might be “cool” or “innovative” to teach students to summarize readings with ChatGPT or write essays with Claude. But we may be doing them a disservice: reducing their ability to retain material, think creatively, and reason from what they know. If you only read what AI has summarized for you, you don’t truly "know" the material. Moving forward: We have a second midterm coming up. I don't know how to convey to students that the best way to do better on the exam is to rely on and improve their own reading skills.

@ggreenwald Lololol. Get the pee out of your eyes.

A huge crowd of Iranians assembles in Revolution Square in Tehran to express gratitude and love for Israel and the US, heralding them as liberators. Oh, it's actually to commemorate the new Iranian leader and condemn attacks by two foreign states:

@Melo_Malebo They are booooooorrrrrrriiiiiiinnnnnngggggg People act like sitting by a pool, with 853 other folks, sipping $15 umbrella drinks, is “vacation”

I genuinely don’t understand the appeal of cruises. Being on a massive boat with tiny rooms for a week, with a bunch of strangers, all out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but water around you the whole time. That sounds awful to me.

@tracybeanz “OMG!!!!!!!! $4 more to fill my tank. Pass the medium latte Brenda, a venti would bankrupt me!!!!”

I’m in the chiropractors office and there are several people in here all talking about how they are dreading getting gas and postponing getting it as long as possible. And as I was driving here today I said the same thing. I’m on 1/4 tank and dreading the fill up.

@MZHemingway “This is the theology of a head injury” Lololol!

@_The_Prophet__ I thought force majeure was an “act of God/nature”, like a hurricane, tsunami, etc.?

⚡️🚨BREAKING: KUWAIT PETROLEUM DECLARES FORCE MAJEURE ON OIL SALES The oil system just entered a stress regime that governments cannot fully control anymore. Force majeure from Kuwait Petroleum means something very specific in the oil world. It means they cannot legally guarantee delivery of contracted barrels because the physical system that moves oil has become unreliable or unsafe. Companies only declare this when something in the chain has broken. Now step back and map the structure. Iran sits beside the Strait of Hormuz. Around twenty percent of global oil flows through that corridor. The Gulf exporters depend on that route. Kuwait, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE all rely on it. A war involving Iran automatically threatens the single most important artery in the global energy network. The United States understands this and has deployed naval power around the region. The goal is containment of the conflict so the shipping system continues functioning. But the oil system does not wait for governments to declare safety. It reacts to perceived risk. Insurance companies raise premiums. Shipping firms refuse routes. Exporters invoke legal escape clauses. Buyers scramble for alternative supply. Once that behavior begins, the oil market can move from volatility to actual supply interruption very quickly.

@CarriePrejean1 You are really struggling with basic liturgy…

I’ve always wondered why so many Protestant evangelicals hate the Catholic Church. Because the Catholic Church requires humility. It requires submitting to the authority Christ established. Protestantism was born from rejecting that authority. Since the reformation is has caused chaos and division. Once you reject the Church Christ founded, there is nothing left but the individual. Everyone becomes their own interpreter of Scripture, their own authority, their own final judge of truth. That’s why there are tens of thousands of denominations all claiming the Holy Spirit while contradicting each other. Thats why Eric Metaxas hates Catholicism. He can’t stand the idea that we have a Holy Father who leads the Church, guarding the faith handed down from the apostles. The problem is that many Protestant evangelicals like Eric do have a pope; Themselves.

@TheRobertBshow Lololol. You grifters sure are chipper!

Harsh truth: Homeschooling just hit 3.4 million students with stronger academic gains than public schools. By 2050, more than half of all students will homeschool. The exodus has already begun. The only question is whether you'll lead your family out or wait for permission.

@stelzner_n1150 I see statistics isn’t your strong point. You idiot.

The average life expectancy is 78. The average Baby Boomer is 75. Baby Boomers own 40% of the homes in America. Do the math and tell me a housing crash isn't coming. On a positive note, this will be a huge opportunity for young people. Be patient.

@BenStiller “But I get paid millions to play war” STFU now Benny.

Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.

@newstart_2024 “Now buy my Homeschooling Slop” This is absurd. But, that’s the marketing angle of the homeschool grifters.

This man’s viral rant on why schools are failing boys is brutal and hard to ignore: “Rather than admit something’s wrong with the system, they claim many boys suffer from hyperactivity and put them on pills.” In this 2:14 clip he argues: - Young boys are bursting with energy but forced to sit still 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. - Instead of adapting the environment (more movement, roughhousing, hands-on work, nature, team sports, carpentry), schools label them “hyperactive” and medicate them. - The system suppresses masculine instincts — competition, physicality, building with hands — and replaces them with compliance, participation trophies, and shaming natural boyhood behavior. - Academic lessons could be active (nature walks, investigations, real-world projects) — but they’re not. His solution: Let boys be boys — physical, competitive, hands-on, outdoors. In 2026, with boys’ mental health and engagement in freefall, is he onto something — or is the diagnosis and treatment approach still the right call? Parents of boys: Does this resonate with what you see at home or school?

@TrungTPhan Star Wars. $5B… minimum.

James Dolan licensed “The Wizard of Oz” and spent $100m put it on the Sphere’s 160,000 sq foot LED screen.  Since its release in August, the adapted 1939 classic film has made ~$300m (and sells $2m tickets a day). Sphere stock up 2x (to $4B) over the span and the playbook for global expansion is clear. Right now, ~5k people are paying $150-200 each per show and there are 2-3x shows a day.  At the Sphere, films are much more lucrative than live acts because the venue can play them more often and the margins (70%) are higher than paying out pop stars (musicians get to keep most of the ticket sales while Sphere gets the F&B).  Here is a breakdown of the Sphere’s $782m revenue in 2025: ▫️Films: 48% of total revenue ▫️Live Events: 24% ▫️F&B and Merchandise: 14% ▫️Sponsorship and Exosphere Ads: 14% Editing of “The Wizard of Oz” included using AI to update scenes and cutting off ~30 minutes of run time (the viewing length is 70 minutes).  The $2.3B venue also has 4D effects with the film (wind during tornado, falling apples, lots of fog, flames). Dolan wants “Wizard of Oz” to hit $1B and its own pace by early 2027. For comparison, Darren Aronofsky’s “Postcard From Earth” has sold 4m+ tickets at ~$100 a pop (so, over $400m) since launching in October 2023.  Find other IP. License building plans for mini-Spheres (5k seats, with planned locations in Maryland and Abu Dhabi). I’m very intrigued at what other old films could get The Sphere treatment and nominate “The Big Lebowski”.

@0Beanie05923291 Nope. My students learning has nothing to do with any other teacher, regardless of what they make. I’m prepared. I know what I need to “reteach” due to the prior year a student had certain teachers. And then I flourish.

Not enough good teachers talk about how demoralizing it is that the awful teacher in the room next door makes the same salary (or more) because teachers are rewarded for seniority (and useless degrees) rather than success.
