  • Banning smart phones in class is a no brainer if you want students to actually pay attention in class. But I’m baffled that they actually expected this ban to meaningfully improve test results.

    Getting good grades involves doing your homework, prepping for tests, getting enough sleep to maintain your focus. All of which are done outside the classroom. If social media addiction is really the cause of plummeting school results, them banning phones inside the classroom is not going to solve the problem.

    That’s like telling a junkie he can’t do drugs in class, but he can get his heroin back after school.







  • This 👆🏻The Democratic Party is neoliberal and pro-business. It usually aligns itself with the interests of corporate America, many of whom actually support what the Trump administration is doing atm.

    Besides, many individual senators personally profit from Trump’s lowering of taxes, removal of legislation and manipulation of the stock market.

    Not to put the blame on anyone, but Americans look to me like an a-political people. There is no large, organized opposition movement against the Trump administration. Moderate Americans are stuck thinking the political fight is something they can outsource to the Democratic Party.




  • Oracle completely missed the jump to cloud and, like Informatica or SAS, it’s been outcompeted by the likes of Microsoft, Google, Snowflake and Amazon for years now.

    But hey, that’s not going to go down well with the shareholders, so just say you’re cutting jobs because you’re streamlining your business through the marvels of AI…

    That said, who exactly are the people that are being let go? I can imagine the old guard still working at ‘their’ company, but firing young engineers hardly seems like a winning strategy





  • Just look at those morons…

    And let it sink in for a moment that these two losers have just ended 80 years of globalism and free trade, killed thousands of people, forced millions more into poverty, planted the seeds for future wars and famines that will affect hundreds of millions more, likely enriched themselves in the process and give absolutely zero fucks about the suffering they’ve caused.

    And all I’m reading online is comments from Americans either explaining how sad they feel for the rest of the world or excusing themselves because they didn’t vote for them. Nobody fucking cares. Fix your shit, America…
