The Workin' Man

Elon Musk just put the entire university system on trial. Not the curriculum. Not the professors. The premise. Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.” For a thousand years, universities held one monopoly. Access. You paid the toll or you stayed ignorant. The internet erased that in a decade. Every lecture. Every framework. Every textbook. Free. From any screen on Earth. The six-figure tuition is no longer buying knowledge. It is buying a signal. Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.” That is the product. Not intelligence. Not creativity. Not vision. Compliance. You are paying $200,000 to prove you can tolerate bureaucracy on a schedule. Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.” The entire system is a sorting machine for corporate HR. It does not measure what you can build. It measures whether you can sit still, follow directions, and deliver on command. Four years of obedience dressed as education. Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.” The system optimizes for average. It rewards the compliant. It certifies the patient. It quietly filters out everyone who refuses to wait for permission. The ones who reshaped the modern world never finished the test. Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.” They did not drop out because it was too hard. They dropped out because the speed limit was too low. The most dangerous thing a university does is convince a generational talent that finishing the syllabus is the achievement. It is not. It is the floor. A degree is a receipt for compliance. The future has never belonged to people who finish their homework. It belongs to the on

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, a time to recognize the growing impact of Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses on American families and communities. Lyme disease now affects an estimated 476,000 Americans each year and remains one of the most common vector-borne diseases in the United States. I recently wrote to the House Energy & Commerce Committee urging support for reauthorization of the Kay Hagan Tick Act to strengthen research, surveillance, early detection, treatment, and public awareness efforts related to tick-borne disease. Thank you to Chairman @RepGuthrie, Ranking Member @FrankPallone, and the House Energy & Commerce Committee for advancing this important bipartisan legislation.

@JohnBrokens @JackDangerLIVE @DawnsMission Bring back Christianity and the Traditional Family that existed in the 60s, which helped foster the environment of the very same things - better than government regulation and much more gradual of a change than alarmist radicals will be able to keep up with

@ideachallenger @JackDangerLIVE @DawnsMission The more things change, the more they stay the same. Moving public opinion via graffiti, pamphlets or 1000 bots on here is essentially the same and government has a responsibility to ensure domestic tranquility, do it not? How do reconcile rights and duties? Wonk away.

The America you grew up in, no longer exists. America: Then and Now

This poor boy was running away from someone who stabbed him & stole his phone, but the police in the UK attacked him instead of his murderer!

...to add an important clarification, having all of those things I described as far as 'old ways of information spreading around', the fact that these bulletin boards and posters and newspapers were isolated by a large number of steps, or several pages you had to move with your hands (sift through a newspaper)- those who shouldn't communicate in converstaion or participation with society beyond a certain threshold would not be given undeservedly amplified voices on social media platforms like Twitter/X. Only those who knew what they wre talking about would post on real bulletin and office style boards back in the day, or would be intelligent enough to sign with a newspaper for (certain organizations) in a particular variety (environmental, poltical, community theatre productions, schools, etc. etc.). Think about the Wall-E people types who post wrongfully amplified and promoted posts that shouldn't get traction because they promote laziness, more lip filler, bad diets, and more. Them, likely: "It's so hard to walk to the park sign- *ouch*, oh- never mind, I won't post about hte Park Benches not being large enough for my fat a** because it's too many steps away, I'll post on X instead."

@JohnBrokens @JackDangerLIVE @DawnsMission 🤣This conversation can keep getting more and more wonky if you'd like me to say anything more infuriating

I feel seen.

Twitter is just a bulletin board in a park or pub, where, people post things while walking by with an "X" pinning it to the board, sometimes drunk, sometimes just a normie with normie habits, and pretty much anyone else Tatoos are so dumb, and so are nose rings. I can't stand them. Kites will allow you to go out and see the beautiful escape of nature, with challenge Kite go 'up, up and away! 'if you don't cling strongly and smartly enough over successive intervals. Teaches coordination skills. And to love the earth and not molding your body with tatoos and nose rings.

@ideachallenger @JackDangerLIVE @DawnsMission You can fly kites and not get tattoos. Go for it. No one’s stopping you from going full on 70’s. No more Twitter though.

🤪Idiot America

True

@Timcast I was thinking something similar today around the same exact time, Tim- it's like we're on the same wavelength in space: With the exception of Supreme Court Judges, No one should ever hold any public office after age 55. Millennials should take power in Congress! Let's go!!

how about you cant hold any public office after 70

What is the greatest threat to freedom in America?

@elonmusk Hey Elon, what do you think @DamonCassidy1 's opinion on this is? Maybe he has some information that can help to explain this...

Hmm

Hayao Miyazaki- the most BASED and AWESOME writer/director/animator/artist behind Studio Ghibli. He is the true successor to Walt Disney himself in the world of 2D animated family films. He writes more grounded, realistic, and ‘healthy in morals’ stories than Disney studios did later. He proved that you didn’t need to always create a world with pure heroes and evil villains. The world 8/10 of the time is not like that. He writes better children and family movies morally AND artistically, as the animation and soundtrack together is of a higher caliber than most Disney films. Just more Alive- and the sounds make you feel outside or wherever the Scene is.

gun to your head name a Japanese person.
