@__paleologo @FastRope3 Credo sia peggio. Non eravate solo "poveri e innocenti", eravate "inferiori". "Come vi permettere a non esserlo piu'?"

@FastRope3 Esatto. Misto a un senso di superiorita'. Finche' eravate poveri e innocenti mi piacevate. Adesso siete che state bene siete consumisti e imbellettati.

[nota per i lettori Italiani:] Tiziano Terzani era un giornalista superficiale e sopravvalutato.

@michaelmalice Yeah, I guess I am.

@delightedbeta Youre asking a tree to start singing

it is painfully obvious why most people would prefer engaging with Grok over Gavin--even if they completely agreed with his views AI has more to say than the typical X cretin. Now imagine, say, 2029 and 3 years of improvement.

@bon1z Nel discorso, destra é tutto quello che non é sinistra. Fascismo é tutto quello che non piace alla sinistra. Non ci sono contenuti altri, é catalogazione: noi opposti a chi noi non é, e che é opposto alla narrativa del momento.

una cosa tocca dirla però: mi sono laureato in Scienze Politiche ( ateneo di Bologna la Rossa) con indirizzo storico politico, durante il cui percorso ho superato uno degli esami di Storia Contemporanea più difficili d’Italia con monografia sul fascismo, e per anni mi sono sempre chiesto a cosa si debba questa tendenza diffusissima a definire “fascista” chiunque si discosti anche minimamente dal pensiero di sinistra. ho sempre imputato questa tendenza ad una sorta di debolezza estrema di pensiero della sinistra contemporanea, che è costretta ad ancorarsi a categorie storiche del passato e a cristallizzarle, per darsi una sorta di tono di giustezza istituzionale. e vabbe, ognuno fa quel che può. Dopo i risultati di questo referendum tuttavia, è in qualche modo esplosa l’accusa di fascismo verso chi ha votato a favore di questa riforma, accusa evidentemente ridicola per chiunque abbia letto anche solo di sfuggita il testo della riforma stessa. al che mi chiedo: come fate a cadere tutti cosi facilmente in questo giochetto di potere messo in piedi da chi vi racconta da decenni di essere nel giusto e da decenni non ne combina una che sia una e da decenni non fa altro che distruggere i diritti sociali dei lavoratori nascondendosi dietro a battaglie giuste ma evidentemente minori? chiedo

@TheEconomist Have you been hacked?

Increasingly, over the course of three decades, Ali Khamenei knew that he was personally in the Great Satan’s sights. This did not daunt him. He felt, always, that he had divine right on his side economist.com/obituary/2026/…

@realMaalouf I love these Iranians.

Iranian women are mocking Muslims who are crying and calling for revenge over Ayatollah Khamenei’s death.

@Tarikh_Eran All activists are selective.

Another selective activist

@RmSalih Please dine in his restaurant if you are around London.

This hatemonger runs a restaurant in West London. And he is openly insulting Muslims.

@RedPillRabbit I know of large corporations (plural) wanting to import their best overseas engineers in the US from places like Canada, France and the Netherlands. They can't (the hustle is unsurmountable even for these entities). However, hiring hundreds of useless Indians is very easy.

I know multiple engineers who are elite and can’t get a job while Indians keep getting hired with no actual experience and fake credentials.

@MostlyMonkey You are replying to a journalist who writes about pop economics. He cannot mentally model much at all.

115 IQ man cannot mentally model 85 IQ high time preference criminals. Many such cases.

@michaelmalice Thank you for the reply.

i dont judge a bookstore if most of the books are terrible i am giddy if they have one treasure

@michaelmalice It is tough not to get depressed and gloom by the amount of retards around; it's like living in arid human semidesert. Would you have any suggestions to reframe this feeling?

Conservatives: I believe in personal responsibility, unlike the LIBTARDS Also conservatives: I cannot distinguish reality from parody, please spell things out for me

@Cdp3_cdp3 @PriceAtkinson This one is in Cortina. The one in Milan is at "Arco della Pace" in Sempione Park.

@PriceAtkinson Hi, where is it exactly? I did not see it as I bounced around Milan today.

It was awesome to see the Olympic flame tonight up close at night for the first time. #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortinaOlympic2026

@frentzen_hh How was that car? It looked stable and, watching as a teenager, I thought it had unexpressed potential.

My first days at the F1 Office. I needed to tighten my heat for the incredible G-force we had in Portugal Track. (Video👇) Did you know the last corner in Estoril we did it flat out?

@RescueMed @RefugeesinLibya @RefugeesTunisia Qualcosa non torna: a gennaio (o febbraio), i soccorritori non potrebbero essere vestiti così.

⬛️ Si stanno delineando i contorni della più grande tragedia degli ultimi anni nel #Mediterraneo centrale, secondo le testimonianze raccolte da @RefugeesinLibya e @RefugeesTunisia. Leggi qui la ricostruzione nel nostro comunicato integrale 👇🏾 mediterranearescue.org/it/news/potreb…

@EdLatimore Yes, it's highly iterative. I had in mind "advanced" topics, and I admit I have no experience with infants. At that stage, you might be right. (Bad teachers - or just, teachers - is a whole other topic.)

I don't think that's true. At least not at any level below calculus. And math is iterative. If you don't learn arithmetic properly, yes you'll struggle. But I don't think even that happens. I once sat in with a group of teachers school teachers and non could explain why multiplying two negatives gives a positive. Understanding that, beyond repetition, makes a LOT of skills easier. Same with explaining *why* multiplication undies division and vice versa. Most just memorized it. You that right immediately, and kids don't struggle. They do it with the 3 and 4 year old at my son's Montessori school.

As I continue to sharpen my linear algebra skills... I have to wonder how much of someone being "bad at math" is simply them having been on the receiving end of poor math instruction. Something I've realized is that the minimum innate ability required to acquire skills is lower than we think. Now you can't be a dolt, but I don't think you need to be high-IQ to do many (though not all) "high-IQ things." A high IQ allows you to sift through the noise of suboptimal instruction. It allows you to learn without instruction. But I know from experience (teaching others and from personal experience) that *many* times, the problem is that instructors don't grasp the ideas well enough to explain to all levels—novice to master.

@EdLatimore In math you have to sit with material for days or weeks before it clicks (once you digest the concepts, they often feel trivial). Plus, verbalizations, narratives, and analogies aren't good guides to the scaffolding of abstractions you must build in your mind to grasp the notions

@delightedbeta How would that affect math though?

@Giovann66413037 @imballoionico Quanto male vi ha fatto la scuola, e Rai Tre.

@imballoionico Da noi la magistratura ha sempre funzionato ed è solo dall’arrivo di Berlusconi che sono sorti problemi. La nostra costituzione è invidiata da tutto il mondo perché nata da una costituente con tutte le rappresentanze. Ora la di vuol cambiare per i fascisti

Ovunque le carriere dei magistrati sono separate. Fatela finita ché siete più ridicoli del solito.

@GreatBrianLast @TheJimCornette @YouTube Shawn in Long Island sounds a lot like Charlie from Starksville.
