I’m a physics dude who teaches, mostly. My opinions are my own and may not reflect how I feel tomorrow. I like old video games, marvel snap, education, science, yo-yo’s, and feeding and housing folks. Drunk who hasn’t had one in a while.

Malls and libraries are the public spaces I hung out in as a kid. They were super important.

He doesn’t have to do anything. He doesn’t have to follow rules, reason, or anything else until he has consequences. He’ll do what he wants until then.

This! Just because some politicians have better PR don’t get fooled.

I’m a physicist, you cannot understand science if you don’t have a strong basis in the humanities. These ideas did not form in a vacuum. And science and math do not belong anywhere near E and T. We now have all their bad habits.

It’s it a mutually exclusive list of options? I like more than one.

You mean just like the USA shot up all those factory workers at the Ford Hunger March and we don’t talk about that anymore?

I completely agree, and I think they don’t think ‘libs,’ women, children, or anyone who looks different are people and as such don’t have needs or rights.

Be mad at both. Academia is supposed to resist this junk and not be HR/PR for American fascism.

Yes and we did it to ourselves. Education has never been a value we hold, it’s been a weapon we use to keep most folks poor and easy to manipulate.

He then proceeded to tell me how important cops are and I believed him for over a decade. In the many years since then, I’ve been hurt by cops a few times but never once have they helped me in any way. I have no actual evidence they accomplish anything for normal folks.

Yes, I work in a red state. I have left institutions and found ones that align better with my values. It is my job to make sure my institution holds values I can get behind or I go. I push as far and as hard as I can to actually do education, and when I can’t, I go.

Lots of folks have to go where they can afford. It’s up to faculty to push and leave in my opinion.

So as a recovering person, I think this misses the point. The man thinks women, children, and men poorer than him have no value and are expendable. That’s the issue.

Certainty is terrifying, in my opinion, because it allows you to make forever decisions. Fundamentalists of all stripes have certainty and I’m worried about all of them.

I just buy woman’s lounge pants and carry a murse. It works, but I could always use new skills

Yeah I totally agree, and that’s never how it’s been, is my understanding. I mean slavery is an obvious example that power doesn’t come from the people, and examples like the whiskey rebellion show how poor folks die so rich forks get richer.

When I say the Republican Party needs to be held accountable for running this monster, I mean it.

We need more age maximum and less age minimum restrictions in politics. Politicians need to live long enough to have to live through the horrors they make.

The proposal is for only about one quarter as many people to be doing science, compared to today.
The budget similarly cuts the number of K-12 teachers and students receiving support for engaging in science.
We aren't even eating our seed corn. We're torching it in the fields and silos.

Yes, many many folks donate proportionately more than billionaires. That’s for doing the math for them and not backing down. Everyone could and many do.

Is this one any good? Big fan of many of these podcasts but this one seemed suspect to me.

Most folks in the USA treat the kids like property, in my experience. There’s no way most Americans think it’s wrong to let their kids die due to their ignorance, they think it’s their right.

This feels like content from the bad place. Taylor is fine (and everyone that rich is a problem), but Qfolks were never Swifties. I’m for less Swift hate until wealth inequality is killing as many people as trump. Then Swift we will all have to deal with the very real problem of rich nice folks.

The new people here require time to understand all the ruling class is on the same side and laundry rooting kills us all.

I’m 1/3 through and just popped back to say thanks. Epic read far.
