"Everybody wanna think critically and creatively, but don't nobody wanna build no big-ass knowledge base!"

-- Ronnie Coleman, had he become a teacher

Critical/creative thinking involves combining elements of a knowledge base, and you can't cook with ingredients you don't have.

@EsotericCD These people are beclowning themselves to unseat... Susan Collins. That the most milquetoast Republican is LESS TOLERABLE to these people than Platner is 😳🫪😬

@wil_da_beast630 Basically we didn't throw enough communists out of helicopters.

@matt_levine re: Money Stuff today --> "Index-but-not-that" - it kind of exists. You can invest in Wealthfront's automated investment or automated index products and prescribe it from buying certain tickers you find unpalatable. Functionally the same thing.

[Porter @ParkSlopeFlngsm]

It was not deregulation or lack of regulation that caused the situation. The regulatory regime itself created the crisis. Private sector banks were responding to political pressure to provide more credit to low income urban minorities, hence a need to reduce credit standards, and to the financial logic of passing mortgages on to the GSEs, who enjoyed the competitive advantage of lower capital requirements and implicit govt backstop

@troll_lege @atlanticesque ...And ignored the fact he was stabbed... He choked on his own blood and died at the scene with the cops disbelieving him.

@EWErickson "sorted" past... Well at least we know AI didn't write it.

@tracewoodgrains I observe they they're saying it was a failure - not that their ideas were wrong. They haven't learned, they're just blaming their comms strategy.

@UnumVerum_ @xwanyex And it's not just heat: "When measuring by per-capita rates, the discrepancy is stark: Europe records roughly 300 to 500 cold-related deaths per million people each year, while the U.S. records closer to 10 per million."

@aaronkrol I mean they're really not about standards and merit in the first place so the people responsible see this as a feature, not a bug.

[Hammer @40yardhammer]

The first step is admitting you have a problem. The second is firing everyone responsible for creating this totally predictable mess in the first place. Never gonna happen.

More than five years after the UC system lifted its standardized testing requirement, a coalition led by UC Berkeley math professors argues the drop in students’ math levels is “severe.” https://t.co/f7TmRT0AuA

@daveweigel Rewriting Title IX? No problem. Cleaning up a fountain? Wait hold up, we might catch heat for doing our jobs.

[Hammer @40yardhammer]

@daveweigel So Biden's people had no agency and simply acted to avoid right wing criticism? Does that really seem plausible in the context of 2021-2024?
