@_daisy I could have clarified. It's fine to have it in libraries. I meant don't teach it in English courses - oftentimes as part of the required curriculum.

Oh fucking FINALLY, I got Copilot to shut up in VSCode (don't @ me ... Work nonsense). Intellisense is legit one of the best code completion tools on the market. And they replaced it with this nonsense that hallucinates more often than it's true.

Spicy Take:

Pedophile fiction like Romeo and Juliet has no place in our schools. I don't give a shit how "classic" and "it was a different time" it is.

@Impossible_PhD raises hand partner and I moved from "purple state" to "blue state" December 2024...

@BathysphereHat cool I'll have to look at it. I'm always at least curious about that sort of game

@BathysphereHat Which game?

Sometimes you have to just push the dumpster fire out of the way to go burn alongside the tire fire so you can try and do SOMETHING about the forest fire, and help out with the house fire when you can.

Don't belittle or diminish the importance of other's fights, but it's okay to just, for example, pay attention to one or two of Gaza. Or Trans Rights. Or Epstein. Or antivax. Or racism. Or ICE. Or corruption. Mutual aid. Or even, yes, electoralism. All of the things need people to work on them. Soldiers can't be on every front at once.

It's okay to pick and choose what awful shit you pay attention to. You're not obligated to fight on all fronts of the war against fascism simultaneously.

@inthehands

ICE/CBP has been given like $100 Billion to carry out ethnic cleansing. They will do it one way or another. The only thing we can do at this point is to force them to use less efficient ways of pursuing their mandate, slower, more dollar per capture, more difficult to get orders of final deportation, etc. It's a battle of attrition to turn public opinion and Congress and the courts against these fascists as quickly as possible.

Every democracy is one or two elections away from fascism.

@MichaelEMann @Futurism we have too many people for the planet to support. So we'll make the planet able to support fewer people. There some real big brain thinking

@hacks4pancakes The trick is that it's going to be selectively enforced.

@catsalad What, doesn't everyone have the staircase with so much "oh I'll carry it up the next time I go up" shit that you only have a tiny pathway?

@inthehands oh not the execs and PR folks

@inthehands A potential interpretation I could is that this be a sign of resistance where there's too much pressure to cook the books, so they're "resigning in protest".

@neurovagrant I mean, it's a good deal for them. Cash now, pay never since either the corp or the US won't exist by then anyways.

@gwynnion "for the children" has been used for every moral panic ever.

@dan no lie detected
