Yet again, we're in one of those moments when a college offers an interesting elective course, and clowns online get all huffy about it and whine that college education has become trivial and ask what job a student will get with this course.

So, a quick explainer.

(thread)
The typical undergraduate education, a bachelor's degree, is 120 credit hours over four years. Just about every degree program at every college or university in the country leaves at least 9-12 of those credits open as free slots for other subjects a student wants to explore.
That usually works out to at least 3-4 courses over the entire four years. Some degree programs have more. Some students will opt to use those elective slots toward a double major. Some will use them toward a joint degree program (bachelors and masters) over four or five years.

The criticism over Zelenskyy not wearing a suit is not only foolish but more importantly: completely fails to understand why he doesn't. Of course the man own suits. That's not the point.

Here's why Zelenskky is not wearing a suit...

(quick thread)
His clothes are intentional symbolism. A country and its leader under immediate and existential threats from a tyrannical force have no time for suits and neckties.
Notice, too, that he's not wearing a formal uniform.

He has no visible rank or medals or nametapes. He has no commander’s cap or mirror-shined shoes. He has no epaulets or brass buttons or starched creases. He isn’t even wearing patches.

I made a big mistake in my reading habits last year, and I thought I'd spread the joy around.

I read "Nuclear War: A Scenario" by the journalist Annie Jacobsen, who spent more than a decade researching for it.

It's pretty terrifying...

(thread)
If land-based nuclear weapons are launched at the United States, even in a best case scenario (ha), the odds are pretty good you're not gonna know about it until the moment the bomb detonates in your area.
It's estimated that it would take 26 minutes, 40 seconds for an ICBM to travel from Russia to mainland U.S.

The estimate from North Korea to the U.S. is 33 minutes.

So, you're thinking: well, hey, that means I'll at least have a head start, right?

Wrong.

The state funeral for James Earl “Jimmy” Carter, Jr., the 39th President of the United States, was as well attended by dignitaries as one might expect — or hope.

(thread)
Among the hundreds in attendance at the Washington National Cathedral were Presidents Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton; Vice Presidents Harris, Pence, Gore, and Quayle; Secretaries of State Clinton and Kerry; first and second spouses...
...Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Jackson; current and former heads of government from Canada, Colombia, Japan, Portugal, and the United Kingdom; Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh...

Yesterday, just before noon, The Washington Post, through CEO William Lewis, announced it would not endorse a candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

It was shocking for two immediate reasons.

(thread)
The most grave—and, frankly, terrifying—reason is that the United States is obviously at threat of sliding into a horrific dictatorship from which it’s difficult to see how we’d ever recover.
Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have made it abundantly clear that they aspire to devolve our nation into the world’s most powerful authoritarian regime. One need look no further than the chilling plans outlined in Project 2025.

I’m writing this after traveling back from the future, specifically Nov. 12th.

It’s a long story, but I know a lady who knows a lady who has a friend with a DeLorean souped up with an off-market flux capacitor and the trip got made.

Anyway, we don’t have much time, so I’ll cut to the chase.

I got some good news and some bad news and some more good news.

Here’s the first good bit: Election Night went mostly okay, though not without a lot of stress.
By 1am on the East Coast, it was basically clear that Vice President Harris and Governor Walz were going to win the bulk of the swing states, all of them by pretty small margins.
