To transmit words that are either pleasing to both parties or infuriating to both parties is one of the most difficult things in the world.

Hey babe are you an intangible cultural heritage? Because you seem traditional (contemporary and living at the same time), representative, inclusive, and community based.

@whynotqat Kneejerk complaining about “sociologists” is the easiest way to demonstrate that you’re not actually a curious person, don’t read all that much, or might actually be bad at understanding things.

Can't make this thread up. Academia, paraphrased: > "What if it's just a coincidence that kids are learning to read while using Mentava?" > "How can you know if you taught them to read without a randomized controlled trial?" > "Kids used Mentava, and then they could read. That's just correlation! You didn't prove causation!" Here's what academia doesn't understand: 1) Free trials fix everything You don't need an RCT to pick a car. You just test drive them both and see which is better (for you). Try a $17 book. Then try Mentava. Decide which is better (for you). 2) We aren't making any claims about superiority to other systems Mentava is just phonics. Most phonics systems are basically the same: learn letter sounds, blend them together. I recommend a $17 book as a cheaper alternative to Mentava ALL THE TIME. We've tried hard to make Mentava easier and more fun than other methods, but that doesn't mean we're going to be better/faster/easier/etc for everyone Parents don't care about generalized averages. They care about what works best for THEIR KID. Hence, free trial. 3) Every kid is different and we're not trying to serve them all If schools insist on one-size-fits all curriculum, then yeah, they need to know which method is statistically most likely to have a good outcome. Guess what? The one-size-fits all model sucks. Use Mentava with the kids it works for. Don't use it with kids for whom it doesn't. Hence, free trial.

@ClaytonNall @sf_mills Wait, so that really is your argument? That maybe our students learned to read by some other method, and them doing Mentava every day while their reading skills were increasing was pure coincidence?

Shitposting on Twitter is fun and what it’s meant for. I think it’s fine that people don’t take me seriously and ignore my actual writing—people just want slop fed to them. It’s like how people only know Mica Levi for the Under the Skin OST when everything else is way better.

most militaries around the world consist of an army and a navy. Rumours persist of some having an apparent third service branch, but no one has ever been able to find evidence of it or what it might be useful for

Sorry about that twentieth century cultural institution you were fond of. We had to send that bad boy into the Maw. Yeah, nothing for it. No, I know, we all did, but I mean...what can you do? It was Maw time. At the end of the day you just gotta feed the Maw

was kinda disappointed to figure out that this moment from the first track “The Eighth Wave” on Suzanne Ciani’s 1986 album The Velocity of Love was not in fact a prototypical instance of glitch composition but just my CD skipping. Nobukazu Takemura would be proud tho
