@FFS_WhatNow I cannot tell the difference.

This is the worst before and after I've ever seen. He should ask for his money back.

@rocknrollofall Steve Perry all the way, forever 😍😍 no question.

@angijones @LombardiBrett My interactions with human beings for the last few years have taught me to never underestimate anyone's capacity for stupidity

@LombardiBrett Good luck to anyone who implies she has links to Nazis after she won in Federal Court. Even Labor wouldn’t be that stupid.

If Deeming wins preselection the question will be if she has the full support of Jess Wilson (or any other leader). Then the Labor attack adverts will be the sound of goosestep marching, foreboding music, black and white “1939 salutes” on the steps of Parliament, repeatedly cut with Deeming at the rally, printed quotes to the effect of “even my children think I’m a Nazi” from the court case, all spliced together. With the Liberal leader’s face and “full support” quote at the end to make it about the party. Those who think you are supporting her haven’t realized Labor are keeping their powder dry. They see the positive or ‘fair’ coverage of her now even in left-leaning media and don’t realize the Left are holding her up to cut her down. Signaling how conservative they are now while it benefits them, they’ll drop her like a hot potato. Cruel.

This is incredible. This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic. It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

@liquid2ulu The category of "housekeeping" required is more properly known as a custodial mental health facility

They are not mentally competent. Whatever the source of their incompetence (insanity, drugs, jist being severely low IQ, doesn't matter) They are not CAPABLE of self determination The only humane choice is involuntary warehousing in facilities with staff to manage them. They are by no definition safe to interact with standard society. Denial of this basic fact has multiplied human suffering.

@JLabAudio Is your site down? I have been trying to access it most of the day and keep just getting "this site cannot be reached"

@miles_commodore In my state financial literacy is a required course for graduation. We also have it as an elective in middle school.

Every public high school in America should be teaching how credit cards work, how to get a mortgage, and what mutual funds are and how they function. 16th century English literature is great, but how about equipping our children with what they need in the REAL world.

@SavanaThePanda @Snow_Blacck Usually because their district has one-to-one text so they're just clicking sign on with Google. They're not writing anything

@Snow_Blacck Okay, but how does someone get through 9 years of schooling without ever once being told to write their name? Like what?

I worked in a middle school and an eighth grader had to write their name, date, and the time on the top of a paper for an incident…they didn’t know how. I thought they were lying but I realized they were serious when they said they never put their name on the papers because they can’t write it correctly…and they couldn’t read the clock…and they couldn’t spell out Wednesday… It’s REALLY bad out here and these teachers are NOT lying.

@MsEscoTeaches I invigilate IB exams, just finished mocks. Some of those kids are asking can I leave after 20 minutes. There's an hour and 55 minutes left my friend, of course you can't leave. And stop assuming the bright kids finish first and are bored.

@yuuki_attack @educator4ever36 I have had principles say to my face that if you fail this kid I'm going to make sure you have them again next year

@educator4ever36 Yes. Subject the entire rest of his class to his bullshit for the rest of their school experience so that a different teacher don't have to put up w him next year. You know damn well he's not going back into your class. Admin knows you can't handle him.

Unspoken rule for just about every teacher - NEVER fail the bad child.

This looks like a free speech violation disguised as consumer protection. Instead of letting people decide what tools to use for research, the state decides what information they’re allowed to access. Banning AI from answering questions just protects licensing cartels from competition.

@JamieWhistle This "I love you" "we love you" is epidemic at my school. It gives me the ick - especially with all the anti parent sentiment I see expressed. It feels like serious boundary violation and unprofessional

I fear this post might be controversial…but here goes. I don’t think secret transitions in the education system occurred in a vacuum. I had two experiences today in our elementary school that had me concerned- First, during a challenging conversation the principal stated they “love” my children- um what? Second, on the inside of a classroom door, I saw a message that said, “no matter what happens when you leave this room know that I love you and believe in you.” I don’t know when the language from teachers and administrators shifted like this but it was troubling.

🙋‍♀️Hello - Iranian here. For those fixated on 'legality' to excuse the regime in Iran - F*ck You. No, I will not let you be my voice. You don't get to narrate my story, you don't get to claim moral superiority. You don't get to tell me my feelings are wrong. Is it legal to throw women in prison for strands of hair? Is it legal to mass execute people? Is it legal to turn a fertile land into a parched desert? Is it legal to rape? Is it legal to shoot innocent people? Is it legal to kill children? Is it legal to torture people to death? Is it legal to spread terrorism? Is it legal to deprive people of a livelihood? Is it legal to shoot people in the eye to blind them? Is it legal to silence people and take away all of their human rights? Is it legal to shoot down a passenger plane? Is it legal to drive millions to leave their country? Is it legal to jail women for singing and dancing? Is it legal to disappear people including children? You will never experience anything like Iranians have experienced for the last 47 years. Iranians have fought barehanded and they've paid a price. All up to 1,000,000 (one million) Iranians have been murdered since the regime came to power. Your books on 'civil disobedience' and 'collective protest' are useless against an armed opposition that is ideologically driven and will kill all that stand in its way. You want legality? The world has a duty to protect innocent lives. It's enshrined in R2P. Some people seem to think Iranians aren't humans. The murder, genocide and massacre of Iranians receives scant media attention - hence scant sympathy. Those who proclaim to care about 'human rights' must think Iranians are animals and not worthy. Their hatred of Israel and US is so great they've lost all perspective. Yes, Iranians are happy. They're happy someone took out Ali Khamenei and many others directly responsible for so much pain and agony. And you know what? We're unashamedly hopeful that with the help of the world's superpower, we can reclaim our country and build a better tomorrow. We know there's a long way to go, but give us this brief moment of reprieve, because daily we sit and try to tell the story of the lives lost, those at risk of execution, those under torture. We've seen the pictures and videos of massacres taking place. Our dance and happiness comes with a heavy weight. We do so, in knowledge of the many who never lived to see this day. The day of freedom will come to Iran, it's glorious - and we're not sorry if some outside help contributed to making that happen. So don't speak on my behalf and stop excusing this regime on grounds of 'anti-colonialism'. and 'anti-Zionism'. #Iran

@karr_pe I have 8th graders. Still throwing temper tantrums. I mean full-on stopping their feet screaming throwing their bodies on the floor

I say this every day. I run an after school program and we have 24 kinders. No growth in maturity over the past 7 months. Can't listen to a story. Can't follow directions at all.

@badwolf87418597 @anon_opin I don't understand this idea people have that this was not a common thing. I grew up on military bases in the 70s and most high school girls were dating GIs, not other hs boys. Parents were fine with it and often had the guys over for meals etc

@anon_opin It was acceptable in the 70s to have an older boyfriend. People need to get over it. Just because its not acceptable now doesn't mean a thing.

If you shag fourteen year old girls, you're a nonce, and that includes David Bowie whether his fans like it or not.

@SamaHoole Yep - in Literature this is shown in I think it was The Poisonwood Bible - the father brings seed with him from the US thinking he can just grow food because Africa gets great sun.

"Just grow crops on that land instead of raising cattle." Right. Yes. Absolutely. Have you been outside? Not outside in a city. Outside outside. Countryside outside. Have you looked at what 65% of Britain's agricultural land actually looks like? It looks like the side of a mountain in Snowdonia with soil the depth of a paperback novel and an annual rainfall that would make a rainforest feel overdressed. It looks like the Scottish Borders at 400 metres elevation, where the wind comes in horizontal for nine months of the year and the frost doesn't fully leave until June. It looks like the Devon coastline on 40-degree slopes where no tractor has ever successfully operated without becoming a story people tell in the village pub for generations. It looks like the Brecon Beacons, where the peat bog comes to meet the acidic grassland and the nearest thing to an arable field is someone's daydream. These are not fields that have been selfishly hoarded by farmers for cows while perfectly good crop-growing sits unused. These are fields where the cattle ARE the only possible food production. Where the grass grows because it evolved to grow there, and the cow eats it because it evolved to eat grass. Plant quinoa in mid-Wales and it will stand briefly in the wind, look confused, and die. Plant wheat on a Cumbrian fell and the sheep will watch it fail with the quiet satisfaction of animals that know how this works. The people saying "just grow crops instead" have confused a topographic map with a menu. The land does not offer what the spreadsheet requires. The cow is not blocking a better option. The cow IS the option. It is, in fact, the ONLY option. Go outside. Have a look. Bring a coat.

@MwendiaJnr Several reasons (US based): fewer people hang out laundry; pull ups and other incontince aids are better than they used to be so less leakage; kids are better hydrated so less concentrated urine to irritate bladder; more medical intervention for bed wetters

Why do kids these days hardly ever wet the bed anymore? Growing up, it was super common to see parents and neighbors hanging beddings out in the sun to dry. Some guys even wet the bed until high school. Nowadays, most children under four rarely do it at all.

@gladyshed @RMistereggen Premature onset of labor, fetal distress, etc are all reasons to call an ambulance

@RMistereggen It’s unusual to call an ambulance for a childbirth. I haven’t heard of anyone calling for an ambulance to give birth.

I’m so tired of the Norwegian healthcare system. To everyone who claims we have the best healthcare in the world, you need a reality check! I almost gave birth at home because the ambulance refused to come get me - a 37-year-old first-time mother with a premature baby. They prioritized treating people with the flu instead. Do you know what it’s like to endure expulsive contractions while going down two flights of stairs and sitting in a car? My baby was born within the hour. Now, my baby is struggling to eat, is dehydrated, and needs urgent care. What does the emergency medical clinic do? Nothing. They do nothing, and when asked, they told us she’s not a priority while letting one hijab in after the other, which is exactly what happened the last time I was there. My blood is boiling at this point. On my way to a private clinic now, which will cost between 500-1000 dollars. We can’t even get insurance for this type of emergency care. Welcome to Norway. To this day, I still haven’t received an answer to the complaint made in the ambulance case. It’s about time they get to feel the heat. Please share.

@MushtaqBilalPhD @TheKevinDalton He is not in the road. He is riding a motorcycle on the sidewalk.

@TheKevinDalton This would never happen in Denmark because drivers are used to watching out for cyclists. Most American drivers have never encountered cyclists, so sharing the road with them doesn't occur to drivers.

Maybe don’t do 40 MPH on the sidewalk on your e-bike
