  • Karoline Leavitt’s stunning admission: Trump has not ruled out conscription

    Jump

  • And if you draft all of your political enemies to be the bulk of your military force, you’re giving them the training and the weaponry/keys to everything that allows them to go ahead with a coup.

    That’s a bold strategy. They’re kind of fucked in both scenarios.

  • The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy

    “Somehow, Palpatine returned.”

  • Trump says ‘I guess’ Americans should worry about Iran retaliating on U.S. soil: ‘Like I said, some people will die’

  • Is that because Noem murdered it?

  • What's a TV series that you really, really liked and would enthusiastically recommend?

    Jump

  • And the two shows are connected in the same universe!

  • Yeah, seeing later seasons of B5 and going back to S1 would be jarring! The acting and set up would be weird after seeing all that comes after it and how they up the ante each season.

  • TIL there's a setting in Lemmy that hides down votes.

    Jump

  • Weird. I’ve had Voyager since being on Lemmy and I think it always showed the total as default. I didn’t even know one could separate them. 🤣

    I feel like it works exactly as it does if they were separated. More positive number is a positive reaction/comment and more negative gets others piling on.

  • America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by

    Jump

  • He probably does. The problem is it’s hard as hell to teach kids already. People think they’re going to sit there and learn from an AI?!

    Lmfao! You’ll have to strap them into a chair and force them to do things. They won’t log in or sit there and do work for an AI. They already won’t do it for a teacher who tries praise, rewards, and has their parents on speed dial.

  • What is your funniest case of misheard song lyrics?

    Jump

  • Been singing that for years. My wife can’t unhear it.

    In Jingle Bell Rock, I always hear “giddy up, jingle whores, pick up your feet!”

    I always heard, “We’re the renegades who fuck! Fuck!”

  • ‘One family is about to control CBS, CNN, HBO, and TikTok’: Alarm grows over Paramount-Warner Bros. merger

  • Fantastic. Thank you for this. I’d never heard of them before, so I’ll check it out.

  • Corsets were awful: only when you tight laced, and the majority of women didn't. Corsets and stays were designed to support the boobs and smooth out clothing. That's it.

    So they are just a semi prototype Spanx?

  • The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

    Jump

  • As someone in the classrooms (student teaching in fifth grade in Illinois), I don’t disagree that the tech provides this. However, I also see how it benefits the students with workflow and access to a diverse form on texts which is needed for a multitude of diverse learners whether they are multilingual, have a disability of some kind, are special education, or have IEPs or 504s.

    The access to parents at home with instant ability to the same videos or resources as well as translation tools can mean more parental help for the kids.

    What I see as the problem is that the way we measure students and their cognitive knowledge/capabilities hasn’t changed with how we teach. Everything is to the test and set up without any national standards. I see kids able to make some amazing inferences and see patterns with small prompting and the ability to deep think is there even with tech being a huge part of the classroom.

  • Cloudflare outage on February 20, 2026

  • Ok, Shaggy

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

    Jump

  • Well, that might change after this though.

  • Parents opt kids out of school laptops, ask for pen-and-paper

    Jump

  • She’s (the relative) lucky she can do that. Some districts or schools have homework policies. As I am finishing up my master’s for elementary education, if I can get away with NOT assigning homework then that’s what I will do. They are kids and need their mental breaks as well. There’s research that shows homework doesn’t correlate to better learning or growth. It’s just busy work and play is really good for kids’ minds.

    If anything, I will encourage them to read and tell me what cool thing(s) they are reading about the next morning!

  • 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives

    Jump

  • For someone that used discord only for video chat and the chat sidebar for D&D since we have players in person and a couple in other states, what would you all recommend?

    Should we just switch to Zoom or something?

  • Discord roll out global age verification system, including an "age inference" model that runs in the background

    Jump

  • This is what I and others I know use it for as well. Virtual dnd for one or two while the rest of us are in person.

  • What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?

  • Nooooooo! This is fake news. FAKE NEWS!
