Any Elder Millennial born after 1979 can’t Markdown, all they know is jot that down, 30% off on jeans, nostalgia for blockbuster, eat hot chip and buy avocado toast

I have yet to find a paywalled article, where putting archive.is/ in front of the link, doesn’t solve that problem.

Doing that for this article, gave me this link: https://archive.md/KBTlE

Although in the case of this article, you’ll have to request the desktop version, if you’re using a phone, because otherwise their Read Next box will cover some of the text at the end.

Canadian one is called Maple Squeakerson

Except if the Canadian is from Alberta. Then the rat is just called dead :')

I always find it hilarious how some people from Alberta grew up thinking that rats were a made up thing for shows and movies. Because why wouldn’t they? Haha.

woah, that sounds ingenious! I’m gonna have to make a note of that for the day that I finally pick up a headset.

El Salvador’s Prisons Are Notorious. Will They House Trump’s Deportees?

President Nayib Bukele has offered to jail deported criminals from the United States. His prisons have earned him a reputation as being tough on crime, but have raised alarms over rights abuses.

All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

Of course. This is what I call out of the box thinking!

Here’s a way around the paywall: https://archive.md/ZDs6S

But the article doesn’t really make it clear how much AI is involved in the textbooks, just that “Digital textbooks that make use of artificial intelligence are being adopted throughout South Korea.”, emphasis mine.

Other text from the article, relevant to your question:

South Korea, the 2025 APEC chair, held the group’s first education ministers’ meeting in nine years, the theme of which was innovation in digital education. Education ministers from 21 countries and regions participated.
[…]
Private companies and government-affiliated organizations set up booths at the APEC venue to promote their efforts. They exhibited software in which generative AI writes student evaluations on behalf of teachers or assigns homework and applied problems tailored to each child’s level of understanding.

The road to implementation was not a smooth one.

The government’s original goal was the world’s first rollout of AI digital textbooks to all schools nationwide. But teachers worried about the burden that making full use of the technology would place on them, while parents questioned whether the textbooks would actually improve student performance and whether they could lead to digital dependency.

After heated debate, lawmakers made last-minute changes, including requiring continued use of paper textbooks for subjects such as Korean and home economics and delaying implementation for other subjects. The government also made plans to provide advanced training to more than 160,000 teachers as well as dispatch 1,200 digital tutors as support staff.

I feel like their hypocrisy and transphobia can be pointed out even simpler by:

“No!! You can’t be in women’s sports, because you are a man!!”
and
“No!! You can’t be in the military, because you’re not… a… man…?”

That’s okay. I’d rather have the functionality and have to deal with that, than not have it at all.

Direct Steam link.

That tracks for me. My family just unsubscribed from both HBO and Netflix last week.

Oh, it’s Saoirse-Monica Jackson from Derry Girls! Absolutely perfect casting of her in that, hahaha.

David and Dion Sinclair, you’re being assessed as mandated by the Milligan Act 2033. This inquisition will seek to ascertain if the accused, Tia Grace Sinclair, was a victim of willful neglect, psychological, physical, emotional, financial, empathetic, or a combination of any of the above. In the event that guilt is established you will be charged pending further investigation.

That actually sounds interesting. Think I’ll give it a shot.

For anyone else also curious where it might land, I found this write up from 2022, by Marco Langbroek (A Lecturer in optical SSA at the Aerospace Faculty of TU Delf):

With an orbital inclination of 52 degrees, the Kosmos 482 Descent Craft could come down anywhere between 52 degrees north and 52 degrees south latitude. This includes much of south and mid-latitude Europe and Asia, as well as the Americas and the whole of Africa and Australia. Of course, the biggest chances are that it will land in one of the oceans, as the failed Phobos-Grunt Venus mission did on January 15, 2011.

Google Earth also offers a really good view, if you enable Gridlines in the Layer feature in the bottom left.

I didn’t. I was referring to the image you had posted in your comment.

Yo, what the hell, are those dead bodies? Was not really wanting to see that. Please put a spoiler on that.

Caliente had been suffering from complications due to a severe infection, and as a result, had undergone surgery, losing most of her right leg.

The news was confirmed by her family, who shared the update on her Instagram page. They wrote, “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Bianca Castro-Arabejo, known to the world and cherished by many as Jiggly Caliente. Bianca passed away peacefully on April 27, 2025, at 4:42 am, surrounded by her loving family and close friends.”

Ahh, I see. I wasn’t aware of it being RFK Jr. who said it, so that’s why I was having trouble finding a source. Thank you!

He’s already talked about “work camps” for people who are “addicted” to things like SSRIs.

Disgrace to humanity is absolutely right, and somehow still now adequate for the piece of shit he is.

That being said, I can’t find a source for him talking about “work camps” for people who are “addicted” to things like SSRIs. The only thing related to SSRIs and him turning up for me is how he thinks it overprescribed. Could you provide a source that I could read up on and educate myself on?

Sure, my 73 year old mother can’t walk at a brisk pace and have a deep conversation at the same time. But it doesn’t mean that she can’t spend a week educating herself about race inequality and then read up on class conflict the next week after that.

Why should we ignore one issue in favor of another? Of course, if someone doesn’t have the mental energy for more than one thing, they should focus on the one thing that matters most to them.
But I do think that it’s a bit blithe to tell everyone that they shouldn’t spend time on challenging sexism, because we should all instead just focus on class warfare.
