Our kid's math teacher put up a slide for the parents telling them a lot of school districts mandated the TI, but not our district. He put up a second slide with specs on the Casio for 1/8th the price, then announced if families couldn't afford even that, he had a bunch to loan out for the term.

We just got a county public alert telling us COVID is on the rise around here and to wear masks.

Whatever happened to CDC guidance?

I'm 15m into listening to this podcast and I want to throw the f'ing phone at the wall.

This guy is beyond arrogant, supercilious, and non-self-reflective. He refuses to admit any culpability for anything he said or did around 2016 or anything since then. He's angry at being called on it and blames everyone else (especially liberals) for being too stupid to have really understood the bad numbers he was pumping out.

And to top it off, he's joined a Peter Thiel funded speculative betting company: https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/07/17/polymarket-hires-nate-silver-after-taking-in-265m-of-bets-on-us-election-report/

Having typed this, screw it, I'm throwing my phone against the wall.

Most discovery is via hashtags since you can subscribe to one (for example #press gets you lots of news).

Also, following and blocking individual accounts, as appropriate. You're not going to get the sort of random exposure to strangers that algorithmic boosting gets you on other social media.

Llamas are cool. Can I be a friendly llama?

I'm really curious about the profile of who is still working there and their reasons for being there. Not speculating. Just the facts.
