New @ISDglobal research finds neo-Nazi content receives tens of millions of views on TikTok and appears in the app’s algorithm. This includes Holocaust denial, glorification of Hitler, support for white power mass shooters & recreations of these massacres https://t.co/chPZtr3Scm
@CaitlinPacific It sounds like it's just at the kindergarten level, which obv is a bit diff than high school?
Seems reasonable to me, as kindergarten is too young to know if a child is gifted or just has more impulse control/more active parents. Gifted programs usually start ~2nd grade
@annakhachiyan "The rate and nature of immigration makes ideals like assimilation all but impossible." What does this even mean? Anything to support assimilation becoming impossible or just vibes?
@Olivia_Reingold Some of these books are totally fine lol. "How Democratic is the American Constitution" for example better be at a university book store - and probably should be required reading for political science students
@RIKKISCHLOTT It seems like people on the right taking issue with this is a loud and more hardline minority though? Most of what I've seen is people like you saying "what's the problem here"
@maggiemoda It should be doable for most if you weight lift regularly, maybe for 6 months to a year. But if you don't, no shame in starting with less weight and working up
Everyone saying "it's easy" is a little weird. It's like saying doing an ollie is easy - which is true if you practice
@ValidScience@eisingerj I imagine it's hard to prove they were lying rather than just people making mistakes - though kinda messed up how close they were to publishing false info due to people not doing their jobs
A friend was asked to write a recommendation for his daughter who is applying to Yale. Worth a read.
Dear ,
I am unwilling to write a letter of recommendation in support of your daughter's application to Yale. I no longer do that. It is not that I don't believe that she is qualified, on the contrary it is because I do.
You wouldn't ask me to write a letter of recommendation for her admission to Hamas. But Yale is no different than Hamas, a cult that abides no disagreement, and a cult certain of its purpose and mission beyond reflection. Yale is potentially even more dangerous. Hamas will be defeated shortly. Yale will continue to send its graduates into positions of power for years.
A recent study at Harvard found that roughly 50% of the students and professors wouldn't discuss "uncomfortable" topics. An essential life skill is the ability to change your mind. She won't learn that at any Ivy league school. Their reputations are still so strong that their faculty, staff and graduates all possess the arrogant certainty of religious fanatics.
I am sorry to disappoint you. I wish her the best in her search for a school,
Signed
xxxxxxxxxx
