Pre-Ascension Notable

I should've probably said this ages ago, but I've largely decamped to other platforms, guys. Click the links on my profile.

I still tweet from time to time, but I'm just... burned out on this place. Especially the creeping realization that it was always holding me back. 🤷🏿‍♂️✌🏿

[Quinn Quē @Edokwin]

I think the left-right binary is increasingly cooked and passé regardless, but it's fair to say "both sides" frequently fail to understand the other, often relying on dated referents. But yes, "the left" probably fails more often, due to less exposure and less curiosity.

[Quinn Quē @Edokwin]

This is probably overstated. Filter bubbles, semantic drift, trendiness, etc, etc. Folks on "both sides" still use some (tho not all) of these.

That said, it *was* cringe when the TV show The Pitt had a "right-coded" senior nurse call a junior doctor "snowflake" for no reason.

[TrustLion @Trust_Lion_]

There's an entire lexicon kept alive by libtards like a dead language of outdated rw-associated lingo. "Snowflake", "safe space", "cuck", even "redpill" nowadays. These terms have not been used unironically since 2018 at the latest but libs always feel so smug using them.

Not only do they admit doubt, but they openly just do the “wrong” thing without too much worry about whether they’ve been a “good human”. They think about it, try to do right for a minute, but then choose self-interest in the end, like most people usually do. Seinfeld is the most anti-utopian show of all time

@juanluisblas66 @John_D_Reviews Sadly thinking the same thing

Prepare for SnyderVerse discourse part two, "Release the Reeves Cut" boogaloo.

[Variety @Variety]

Steven Soderbergh will help finish “The Batman Part II” while director Matt Reeves is on hiatus dealing with a personal matter.

Soderbergh said in a statement: “I thought Matt Reeves’ work on ‘The Batman’ was stunning; it was intentional, specific and rigorously coherent. The goal here is to work with Matt and his team to generate footage that will integrate seamlessly with what’s already been shot so Matt can properly finish his film.”

A studio rep said in a statement: “As Matt Reeves continues to attend to an ongoing family matter, Steven Soderbergh, as an admirer of Matt’s work, approached Matt and will step in, with the full support of DC Studios, to help the writer-director complete the final weeks of principal photography on 'The Batman Part 2.' Matt and Steven will work closely together with the actors and crew to fulfill Matt’s vision of the film.”

@CoreyWriting Seems like the Ardays are multiplying.

@asubtlergin Hiring someone to do something for you is never going to be cheaper than doing it yourself.

I am once again reminded why I don't post here anymore.

@notsocrazy24 Sidenote: Beyond the thankful messages from other Zionists, yours is probably the only reply that's not a bot or a troll. This place really is turbo cursed.

I'm not Jewish, I'm an American of African ancestry, and I'm a Zionist.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

I've stayed far away from the radioactive Cornell discourse, but I do want to make one meta-observation.

I spend a lot of time in different corners of the internet, and the two 'sides' of the Cornell story are living in separate universes. Entirely different facts, wildly separate narratives. Spend time in different social media spaces and it's like they're describing two totally distinct incidents.

There's almost no shared reality whatsoever, and that strikes me as really dangerous.

I told you that showing her grace was a mistake.

If Scott Alexander wants to debate someone publicly on AI, I'll gladly oblige.

[Manhattan Institute @ManhattanInst]

When Roland Fryer sought to improve 20 struggling Houston schools, he implemented five practices: more instructional time, high-dosage tutoring, frequent teacher feedback, data-driven instruction and a culture of high expectations.

The results were extraordinary.

In math, elementary students gained four additional months of learning each year; secondary students gained nearly eight months in a nine-month school year. Every graduating senior in the high schools was admitted to a two- or four-year college.

Roland Fryer writes about Nikole Hannah-Jones, school choice, and the real way to turn struggling schools around in @WSJ: https://t.co/bJCqjShln1

The biggest dividing line is, or ought to be, between people who will lie vs people who reliably tell the truth.

Even for the relativists who may want to this as a spectrum rather than a binary, it's easy to tell which side of it someone is on after several public statements.

[Quinn Quē @Edokwin]

Someone actually made a mea culpa to me.

Will wonders never cease...

[Quinn Quē @Edokwin]

@LisaSelinDavis @LizWolfeReason She has not, in fact, made the matter realization. Her piece still demonizes school choice.

[Quinn Quē @Edokwin]

It is wild to realize that people are defending theocrats, bigots, terrorists, rapists, and folks doing the antisemitic equivalent of blackface...all because they think it makes them Good Leftists.

[Quinn Quē @Edokwin]

Big Thanks to LOOKOUT for commissioning this piece!

How are locals and experts reacting to Flock cameras? What are the primary concerns and consequences?
