Twitter is a place where you can watch ppl who don't read books argue with ppl who write them

An underappreciated dividing line concerns epistemologies of the future. What I mean is: one reason why people today live in radically different infospheres is that they sort themselves out based on how, why, and thus what they think they know about the future.

This is just stunningly pointless and destructive.

This video never ceases to amaze me. For my Anglophone audience, this man speaks in a rural dialect of Hindi, so this video is the equivalent of Cletus from the Mississippi Bayou teaching you how to speak a Beijinger’s Mandarin.

Dhiraj Takri, a 21 year boy from Odisha marking the right use of Instagram reel. May such tribe increase more as his educative content will be a motivation for small town kids to learn English and produce meaningful content.



Men won’t go into a profession where there is no prestige and the top earning years are in the last 10 if you have 3 degrees If you want guys who could be engineers teaching science or math then you have to pay like engineers or stop complaining

5 And this is in spite of decades of studies and exhortations declaring that boys need male role models (i.e. teachers) in school.

"The data shows Democrats taking a sharp turn leftward on social issues over the past decade. This has distanced them from the median voter. Notably, the shift began in 2016. This suggests that Trump’s election radicalised the left, not the right."

🚨BREAKING: Laura Helmuth has resigned as Editor-in-Chief of Scientific American after over four years in the role. During her tenure, she transformed @sciam from a widely respected, objective popular science magazine into a science-themed, woke political publication.

Also China: building 95% of the world's new coal-fired power plants - in other words, building 19 times more new coal plants than the rest of the world combined.

The US will soon be run by a climate science denier who plans to "drill, baby, drill" and destroy the environment. China is building twice as much wind & solar power as the rest of the world combined. It's clear which is a responsible country and which is a threat to the planet

President Biden asked Netanyahu not to attack the Iranian nuclear facilities… but this facility was not part of Iran's declared nuclear program, so the Iranians couldn’t complain without admitting they violated the NPT.

💥 Israel destroyed a top-secret Iranian nuclear weapons research facility. You can thank us later. axios.com/2024/11/15/ira…

As I outlined yesterday, this started months ago. From USNA to CNAF, they are already changing the names of the DEI nomenklatura and their billets, but keeping the mission. The next administration needs its people to know how to read a manning document and will have to make a…

When psychologists claim that something is true "across cultures" they usually mean "true across samples of college students" or "true across samples of English-speaking internet users", but not "true across the thousands of societies documented in the ethnohistorical record".

Burgum did his best to sell North Dakota to the Chinese, including earmarking $150M ($100M initially, then increased at the midnight hour of the vote in November 2021) to have Fufeng build a plant next to Grand Forks Air Force Base, for which the state got slapped down by DoD. He…

They are betting that the initial chaos (and, especially, inflation) caused by the GOP reform agenda will swing them back into power in four years so that they don’t have to abandon a fruitless, sterile diversity agenda for them is virtually a religion at this point.

"well we lost control of all branches of government and we're probably locked out of senate control for the foreseeable future but look how diverse we are" see this is what happens when you autistically fixate on a bad goal metric

In the background to every debate about Trump’s cabinet picks is the reality that this kind of thing was the alternative on offer. Whatever issues there are with his choices, this was worse.

No, I think she is telling the truth that she was a participant in a massive and organized conspiracy to deny citizens gov't help based on their political persuasion

We are headed, internationally, for a moratorium on asylum claims. The rest of the world has figured out that the system can be gamed, and Western governments haven't patched the exploit.

You may not like it. You may bemoan it. But it is TRUE. “Cyber” has been weaponized by the left. READ the Twitter Files. LISTEN to the discourse on “disinformation,” during the 2020 election, Covid, and beyond. CRITICAL that we fix what has been done.

Unfortunately our cyber security institutions have become hyper politicized over the past four years. Instead of defending our critical infrastructure, they now focus on controlling American’s speech. We must rebuild and restore our cyber defenses.

CISA’s attempts to expand their remit for cyber to encompass private speech mirrors similar debates playing out between military cocoms about information operations. In both cases, we must make it clear than “cyber” means technical cyber defense & offense, not information…
