So community service as an actual substitute teacher?

She bullied kids for 3 hours. I don’t know what the appropriate punishment is, but years of jail time just seems excessive.

Feague:

feague (third-person singular simple present feagues, present participle feaguing, simple past and past participle feagued)

To increase the liveliness of a horse by inserting an irritant, such as a piece of peeled raw ginger or a live eel, in its anus.

Cury could go for Lula, no? Avante did before.

I mean Santos will definitely break for Bolsonaro, and the “social democrats” went for Bolsonaro before. So it won’t make much of a difference.

Okay so I know that is so far besides the point of your post, but I feel compelled to point out:
Dyson invented dyson spheres as a gotcha against SETI for their chosen method of investigation. They are a deliberately silly idea. It is his torment nexus, and we have all just been talking about building it ever since.

So much technooptinism is built around eventually getting around to building The Bad Idea ™

Edit: The process goes like this. SETI tries finding aliens by searching for radio waves.
Dyson thinks that’s an arbitrary choice, and posits that the argument that any advanced society will end up making radio waves we can detect so we should look for that (And just that) is unsatisfying. He thinks you could make a similar type of argument for other kinds of waves.
To prove his point he writes a thing arguing that they should be searching for infrared radiation, because a society becomes advanced enough its going to want to maximise its energy production, so it’s going to want to take all the energy from its star leaving just radiated infrared radiation from the thing harvesting their sun. Which they will inevitably have to do due to interplanetary lebensraum. He then handwaves a thing about how we’d just disassemble Jupiter to build our own. The whole thing is dripping with sarcasm

He then gives interviews about how it’s funny that he’s mostly known for a joke he made. He did seem to believe we should also look for infrared radiatio too. But the dyson sphere is sarcastic.

Ideally it just has to “work” once and they get the initial investor hype for space datacenters.

Okay but that was an art project thing. That’s like pointing out that the fountain is no longer a very useful urinal.

So the plan is to put really shitty LLM datacenters in space. They’re gonna put a couple of chips on a rocket, blast it into space, and then have it answer a few queries remotely. Mind you it can only do this in short intervals because the chips get too hot and there isn’t a sufficient heat management system because it’s in fucking space.

People are freaking the fuck out because it has an easter egg if you ask it to play Minecraft.

Voting for the nazis to fix Germany.

The media is fully just not saying what is involved in the actual agreement, just reporting people’s reactions to it. Which most people seem to have clocked, so there’s a lot of confusion.

I am amending this slightly. “Center right” media is portraying this as a victory against Russia, so it might be really fucking bad.

Mute B. Egede says this is very beneficial to the Greenlandic people, and Mette Frederiksen says it basically doesn’t change much except allow more military bases. However Mute and Mette are both liars.

No. But unless Mette Frederiksen and Mutte. B. Egede are lying (Entirely possible) it’s basically the same deal the US already had

Danish media is reporting it as Trump being allowed to build more military bases, which he was already allowed to do, and Mute B. Egede is saying that the deal changes nothing about Greenlandic autonomy.

I don’t know enough about anything to confirm or deny.

The leader of the Danish social democrats (Mette Frederiksen) pulled a genuinely Stalinesque move this week, where she announced she couldn’t wait to retire and become a school teacher but oh sure since they were forcing her hand she would stay on, and then the room broke out in forced applause for an obnoxiously long time.

It is debatable whether Stalin actually intended to resign and retire, a lot of people (libs in particular) would argue it was a ploy, but this is 100% bullshit. She is going to Brussels or if things go really wrong to some think tank. And it is genuinely a little humiliating that the Danish political class and media asks us all to pretend.

I would link to it, but none of the stories actually examine this part. They just cover Mette calling a school teacher a liar for saying that her view of the public school system was mistaken, but they don’t call Mette out they just cover her words uncritically.

Very much a “In soviet communist North Korussia” moment

They already did. Guys. Do you not remember? The British and Americans literally informed the venezuelans they are not letting them use the gold.

Hey they can do both that and douse the victims during an active shooting in chemical weapons.
