I keep waiting to see if I can find a future for myself, but that future is yet to be found.

instinctually I really want to be Emily Wilson’s defender—and I think it’s very healthy to have to scholars who can be more critical than an average audience member—but gosh, that review just reads incredibly condescending and discourteous, and dismissive of film as a medium.

[nuz @punishednuz]

i was wrong. this film is just as hopeful as the original show ending. but where the show congratulates one for realizing that being human is to connect with others, the film focuses on the work that comes after and the consequences of running from it

@newworldmke This is a completely arbitrary and nonsensical point anyways even if it was literally true (it’s not). You’re comparing a middle distance race which combines a certain level of speed (16mph is no joke though) with insane levels of endurance to maintain, vs all-out speed.

[TaylorH @ARedSpartan]

@newworldmke As I literally just pointed out, yes they can, because Usain Bolt was not a perfect starter. Especially since Usain’s best ability was his top-end in the 100m, I’m sure some of the recent high schoolers under 10 would actually be “stride-for-stride” in their peak condition.

[TaylorH @ARedSpartan]

@newworldmke @farhip This actually isn’t true, because Usain wasn’t the absolute best starter/reactor to the gun during his prime either… so your claim isn’t even factually true either, let alone the fact that the start is just one phase of the 100m; in spite of how short it is, it’s a complex race!

@m2kgalaxy @MikeEardley @ByPatForde Literally the WR by Hicham had a pacer (and was during the EPO doping era) and another runner who was pushing him the whole race. World record attempts at this distance have almost always had pacers for the last 60+ years.

@DevonMar29 @markaprovost @nathanTbernard Their account is just 2015 Tumblr identity politics/woke 1.0. They haven’t moved on from the idea that politics shouldn’t be centered around superficial, immutable characteristics that are somehow deterministic to one’s values (except for this person themself, apparently).

The frontloading of young adult consumption via the “college system” from 18-22 is a very odd sociological phenomenon that we will probably look back on with some distaste.

I was looking at Erling Haaland's Wikipedia page and he has a world record for standing long jump as a five year old for 5'4". A kindergartener jumping as far as I am tall! Terrifying little Viking child

I’m going to say it again

Just because KOSA passed house, does NOT mean it’s immediately law

Look, I’m upset too.

But It has passed before, but it didn’t make it through. It violates 1A and 4A. Unless the United States is REALLY that stupid, it won’t pass.
Dont give up

@pickle_chungus1 I mean, he has played at least 588 hours, if you count his top three game modes literally on the screen.

I’ve played 418 hours for my top 3 game modes and I’m level 335 with just under a 4 KD. It’s pretty realistic that someone who has over 100K kills alone could get there.

[TaylorH @ARedSpartan]

@47Mapes You can clearly see he only has 329 bot kills literally in his stats.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's.

This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates.

This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages.

What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime.

This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12.

Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.
