@chrissyteigen As soon as he leaves office, he can be prosecuted. His intention may be to die while still “president”—which is why he really, really wants “four more years”.

I wouldn’t put it past him to stage an “assassination” (real or fake)—which would let him go out as a “martyr”.
@chrissyteigen WHOA! Right after I posted this, Tw*tt*r froze my account and asked me to confirm that I’m not a bot. For the record:
I wish no physical harm to the current WH occupant. I merely suspect that he might arrange harm to himself, and/or fake his own death, so as to avoid prosecution.
@chrissyteigen In fact, I would strongly advise those closest to him (including @IvankaTrump) to watch for signs of despair or violent intentions (toward self or others) and to arrange for psychiatric treatment, if necessary.

@leahfrombklyn @gtjco ACTORS—& other showbiz types who perform onstage or on camera—may not need degrees to get living-wage work. Especially the already-established—&/or well connected. EG Melissa.
But for most desirable fields—INCLUDING off-camera jobs in entertainment/media—degrees are “preferred”.
@leahfrombklyn @gtjco Which basically means “required”.

And “the professions” definitely require degrees.
Even “midlist” fields that we don’t consider particularly aspirational—like teaching or “office work” or “middle management”—require degrees.

The answer is NOT to say “you don’t need a degree”—
@leahfrombklyn @gtjco but rather to MAKE SCHOOL AFFORDABLE AGAIN.
Without loans.
As we USED TO DO.
For a while, we made a real effort to help students through whatever postsecondary professional or occupational education best fit each person’s aptitudes.

So WTF happened? THIS:

@HananyaNaftali 10/7/23 may have happened on Biden’s watch, but Trump’s actions—including the Abraham Accords and moving the embassy to Jerusalem—may have contributed. How? By causing Palestinians to despair that there will ever be a peaceful solution that they would consider fair to themselves.
@HananyaNaftali When people see (what they would consider) a just outcome growing less and less likely by the year—and events moving more and more in the opposite direction—they sometimes decide they have nothing to lose by waging an all-out war.

Yes, even if victory seems unlikely.

SEE: ➡️
@HananyaNaftali Is Trump-style “normalization” really good?

Forget 'Peace,' Did Abraham Accords Set Stage For Israel-Gaza Conflict?
Almost every assumption that undergirded the Israel-Arab normalization agreements was disastrously wrong, and now we are paying the price.

Hey, California legislators?
You might want to back down from this REUSABLE plastic bag ban you’re pushing!
Or at least table it until next year?
Working people need, use, and reuse those bags—and you don’t want to piss off VOTERS by taking the bags away during an ELECTION YEAR!
ATTENTION CALIFORNIA POLITICIANS:
Neither CA, California Democrats running for re-election, nor the Democratic Party in general needs any further reputation for unnecessary draconian laws that make life harder for regular people!
@casendems @AsmDems
@CAgovernor @Cal_OES @CA_Dem
@casendems @AsmDems @CAgovernor @Cal_OES @CA_Dem We’re getting tired of these FAUXgressive measures that impose extra costs, unpaid labor, and other burdens on working families and other vulnerable populations—while barely making a dent in the problems allegedly addressed.

As actual PROGRESSIVES know.

@skuterzysta @criticalurban @AmericanFietser It’s already started.
That’s what all these anti-car measures are about!
Each claims some other purpose—“reducing congestion”, “raising money”, “road safety”, “more housing” (without parking)—but a major motive behind each is to bully us out of owning, driving, and parking CARS.
@skuterzysta @criticalurban @AmericanFietser It’s no secret—the extremists say it in their own words.
In 2010, one saw that EVEN IN CITIES WITH ROBUST TRANSIT, most people still choose to drive.
Recommendation?
We’ll have to COERCE people out of driving, by making parking scarcer and more expensive!
la.streetsblog.org/2010/12/13/den…
@skuterzysta @criticalurban @AmericanFietser Here it is.
The anti-car activists want to “ween” [sic] us off the automobile.
But as early as 2010, they realized that EVEN in cities with “good”, robust transit systems—and high population density, their other pet goal—PEOPLE STILL DRIVE.
“Solution”?
Let’s get rid of parking!

@asymmetricinfo NO! The best gauge of learning is how well the student can APPLY what is studied—in reasoned, well written essays.
Also, some students are great at that—and will be great at their future jobs—but NOT great at memorizing and regurgitating material in closed book or timed exams. ⬇️
@asymmetricinfo Just make writing quality—aka “style”—part of the grade! (We can all spot AI-speak on sight.)
Or have students show their work/notes via multiple drafts, research outlines, check-in chats with profs, etc.
Or AT LEAST: have students do some of the work in a supervised environment—
@asymmetricinfo a learning lab/library, with loose electronic and human surveillance—then send in their tentative notes.
They wouldn’t have to do ALL—or even most—of their work in “the lab”.
But at least profs could see what students produced when demonstrably NOT copypasting, for comparison.
