Praying on the downfall of everyone who designs faucets that extend so little my hands inevitably make contact with the back of a dirty sink while washing my hands.
Do we have any reason to believe that human settlements in other parts of the solar system are a good idea considering long term effects of low gravity? I like the idea of robots building bases and exploring and visiting- but a life on Mars? Sounds bad.

I don’t.
But we should be allowed to discuss the pornification and sexualization of our culture (yes including what women wear to the gym. Baggy shorts exist.) without being cancelled.

I'm very very sad tonight. I just learned that Stephen Biesty passed away in 2024 at 63... He is one of my favorite artist. Rest in peace.
Most people who are upset at the movement to close the Department of Education couldn’t articulate any single reason that it should stay open. Such a severe lack of general knowledge and reasoning is in itself proof of the failure of the Department which has been around for almost half a century.
The Department of Education is closing, and you may be wondering what this means for your family and education in America.
Today, we're talking about why the Department was created, and the legacy it will leave behind.

Excellent and crucial reporting as always, Alex. The left has been winning culturally for decades because they have no issues weaponizing the schools. The conservative faction has been losing because it refuses to engage the reality that true malice exists, and that large numbers of people are in open warfare against America, the family, and God.
It’s always hilarious when people clearly don’t understand what an analogy is. “Did you just compare X to Y??? Those aren’t the same thing at all!”
…😐

College professor left completely stumped after @KaiSchwemmer started talking in Spanish after the professor said he welcomed mass migration.
Schwemmer: Would it be an issue if every city spoke a different language?
Professor: No.
Schwemmer: "Entonces sería bastante difícil si estuviéramos hablando, entendernos, porque nosotros no podemos entender lo que estamos diciendo y no podemos alcanzar tener respeto mutuo."
Brilliant.
Thinking about Alfred Wegener. He saw the continents on a map and just thought "Those look like they fit together." Many people had told him his theory was outlandish. No one knew about continental drift, the shorelines did not line up, and to boot Wegener was a *meteorologist* and not a geologist. He was widely ridiculed and each of his detractors could list various sophisticated reasons why Wegener’s idea was deserving of the ridicule they gave.
Wegener knew that something can be obviously true even if the world, institutions, and experts all says that it’s ridiculous.

One of the more insidious effects of grade inflation is that it allows students who aren’t doing well to believe the lie that they are.
And it delays the pain of failure so that it happens when the stakes are higher than they are within the walls of the school.
It isn’t compassion to allow a student an inflated sense of self, only for it to come crashing down when they enter the real world where the consequences are real pain and not just a disappointing letter on a piece of paper.
Grade inflation is wrong because it is lying, and lying is wrong, no matter the motives of the person lying.
Higher education being dumbed down is in large part due to assuming public schools should aim to get as many students as possible to college. I have plenty of classes just like the one normal_now describes and it's painful.
