a place where you can say "calculators are way too useful for humanity to abandon them for no reason" and somebody will say "wow so you want math students to learn nothing ever again?"

I had a mathematician friend that actually complained about people using calculators for basic operations and math problems.  

Obviously he used it for complex problems, but he was dismayed that people used it for stuff they learned from elementary school.

Yes, and? What does his apology materially do for Black people? How does it protest the larger custom where whites are allowed to dehumanize or threaten Black people and have it excused later on as a mistake?

RIP. There's a video floating around, it's not really confirmed I guess but if it's real he just killed someone with his reckless driving...

Looks like he was speeding recklessly and lost control in a corner sliding into a concrete barrier. I only hope they were dead on impact. In less than a second they were gone.



Be careful on the road people. It's not worth it to gamble with your life for a pointless thrill.



And do not seek out the video. I shouldn't have. Just absolutely sad.

I'm sorry but that video is just crazy, speeding like that on a public road is a no.



RIP to a legendary creator but also, what a stupid way to go.

Wasn't there a Ree user not too long ago that uploaded vids of him being a reckless driver and got a fine for being so reckless?  I do recall the admins and mods deleting the thread

Saw the videos, that was so reckless. Sure that barrier is weirdly placed but it's not placed for going 100mph. Public streets are not racetracks and we don't need to accomodate to people that treat them as such. If anything people should be pulled over and fined to hell and back, not make the streets safer for speedsters. I took that scenic route on a round trip, don't remember the barrier but it was quite some time ago. No problems navigating it and enjoying the scenery if you don't speed like a maniac.

Fucking ree never miss an opportunity do they

oh god I just found out this lady kim crawley was a gamergate orbiter, wrote really poor kotaku articles about chan sites and GG and apparently they were so sensationalized and fictional that they were removed from kotaku and she was fired

how do you even manage that when that sentiment is at its strongest?

I’m shocked that that chick isn’t trans.

In one of those avatar threads the usual suspects go on and on about how James Cameron was evil to Māori people using their culture, the haka, etc and casting white actors. Then the lead actor reveals he is Māori in an interview and how James Cameron had hired local anthropologists and cultural leaders to make sure it was respectfully portrayed. 

They quickly dropped that line of argument and moved onto the next rage cycle

I'm fucking sick of these stories where school administrators don't believe victims. You see this shit with bullying on top of SA too. Terrible

In my experience as someone who suffered from my massive amounts of "bullying", in some cases it's not that they don't believe you, it's just easier to blame victims when they snap then deal with the bullies (or they simply don't care), regardless of it's homophobia, ableism, fatphobia or straight up physical assault etc and it's especially bad if the victim is neurodivergent or has a mental condition. Even if the teachers want to stop it, if the Admin doesn't care their isn't much they can do.

The other bonus is that victims are less likely to complain to their parents in fear of retribution (because despite what lying cartoons said, telling an adult CAN make it WAY WORSE), making it more convenient to blame the victims.

Doesn't help victims often get gaslight and have less support from their peers who are very happy to lie for the bully or stay silent because they don't want to end up a victim or be considered a grasser.

I still remember when I was in middle school and I got stabbed in class with the teacher watching, and the principal's response when my parents went berserk was "they're so cute at that age!"

I have a similar story where a kid in Secondary School set me on fire (in front of a P.E. Teacher) and got away scot-free based "he comes from a bad family!", I still remember the disgusted response from the PE teacher because none of the students bothered to react to it and just walk by like nothing was happening as my clothes burned.

Kim Crawley's upcoming book, Digital Safety in a Dangerous World, had a successful Kickstarter campaign:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

The book features tips on how to protect your privacy and safety from the American techno-fascist state. The unholy alliance between Silicon Valley and American law enforcement and intelligence agencies is a clear and present danger to ordinary people all around the world, especially for marginalized people. Under fascism, being a good person and doing nothing wrong won't protect you from criminal persecution and state violence. Kim's book makes good cybersecurity and opsec habits easy for technological laypeople to learn.

There's absolutely no justification for Gen AI to be used for anything. The environmental destruction it causes is reason alone to criminalize Gen AI completely.

Ryan Wilson is a political activist and proud husband and father. His new blog is a great way to learn about communism:
https://wilson-reads.ghost.io/

So I think about this a lot, because, for me, finding out the truth about Stalin was litterally the moment Marxism Leninism clicked. It wasnt reading Lenin and it wasn’t even Marx, but Losurdo’s Stalin book (iskra books has a free pdf, go read it right now if you haven’t, please and thank you) that led me down the path I currently find myself. It was watershed on a multitude of levels, not the least of which was that Communism worked. We have the proof, and it is undeniable (if you have an intellectual couriosity and materialist understanding).

Finally into my lap falls not the manifesto not capital, not even state and revolution, but Stalin History and Critique of a Black Legend, by Domenico Losurdo. Here it is Communisms biggest monster laid out for me, but wait, this doesnt sound anything like the moster i was told about, in fact, this dude sounds fucking rad.

It's more, "if these were true then why didn't anyone (Biden)use this to hurt his political chances/ arrest him for it." It's more "Biden's DoJ" nonsense than anything. Trump weaponizes the DoJ, so by proxy Biden/ all Democrats obviously do that as well is how this administration tries to win any arguments regarding crimes.

Yea stupid, democrats don’t weaponize the DoJ against their political enemies, they weaponize the IRS

Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.

Then charge them with falsifying evidence But they can't because it's all real

It's not falsifying evidence to write down what random people tell the FBI because it's not evidence.

"Donald Trump and financier Jeff Epstein were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me." Lock em up, boys.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

The baby looked at you?
