mods this might be a metapost idk but if it matters at all I'm mostly posting because it's really funny that CARCOSA got banned, idrc about basedball as much.

You know what, that is pretty crazy. I forgot about the coup.

Let me spell it out more concretely: if Iran doesn't test a nuke in the near future, Israel will finish the job.

Yvette Cooper is already active. Maybe they should fire her out of a cannon, if they want to get rid of terrorism once and for all.

The gusano mind knows not brainworms, for it is only worms contorted into sentient form.

I feel like it all depends on Iran, really, unless Ansarallah is capable of doing another blockade. I guess that's also plausible.

IDK, I'm not a teacher at all, but I think if it was possible to get kids to actually read a lot more that would be awesome. I was a "gifted kid" that would read the textbooks my parents had to buy me for school (something weird from my Catholic school, we had to buy books for each kid instead of having a collection of some kind). I think the whole reason I did really well in school was that I was taking initiative to read a ton. It seems that there's a lot of people that had a similar experience to me but then they dropped off or burnt out in college, but IME I just kept doing something similar in college; I never got through entire textbooks but I would usually actually read the first few chapters of any tougher classes' textbook. Never had a major burnout as a result.

I guess this is where it's obviously time to check my privilege: the reason all of this was possible was a stable home life and not having to work to fund my education. Realistically, taking on the maximalist position of "we need kids to read 5x more" would require that schools provide the kind of environment where students can spend time reading and absorbing education, especially for ones whose home lives are simply not gonna allow that. But that starts to sound a lot like a residential school, which has a lot of problems, too. How do you balance providing a safe environment for learning 24/7 with still letting kids be raised by their families and have plenty of time to grow up in their own communities?

I had not heard about that, I didn't know about this channel. I had just read (part of) Caliban and the Witch when Hexbear had the misogyny struggle sesh last year.
