none of the shitlibs who are mad at leftie college kids have updated any of their rhetoric or mental models since 2016, so you just get a lot of monologuing about how kids are "entitled" as if america's client state perpetrating genocide is the same thing as your college loans

Lara Trump would prefer to count ballots before the election.

RNC co-chair Lara Trump: 'You cannot have ballots counted after elections are over' https://www.rawstory.com/lara-trump-counting-ballots/

@DemocracyMattersALot all ballots submitted before the end of the election on election day ARE counted, none submitted after are! This is literally the way it has always been, in all states. Nobody gets to vote after the election deadline. Knowing this is not that hard, and not knowing it suggests that she is not qualified to talk about this, or be involved with any electoral process.

Bring your stupid nuisance lawsuits GOP, as long as judges impose fines for nuisance lawsuits!

@DemocracyMattersALot I mean seriously, we are literally dealing with a political party that is deeply ignorant of the law and makes up their own "facts" to be alarmed at.

The GOP motivated the most ignorant, alarmist people, highly influenced by intentful propaganda and the ones that knew it was a scam to get numbers now have to either play along or get pushed out. It is a farce. It would be delightful schadenfreude if they weren't so damn dangerous.

In Standard English, 'Wednesday' is pronounced without a /d/. Then why's it written with a d?

The word comes from a West Germanic name meaning "Woden's day", Woden being the god that's nowadays most often called Odin.

D-less forms such as 'Wennesdai' are attested from the 14th century.

Click the video to hear how the word evolved between the second century AD and now.

The Middle English to Early Modern English stages are based on the dialect of the region of London.

@quaithe Quite a few of the current members were under occupation for this time. I suppose having a better economic system was one way of undoing that.

@nf3xn It's defined on the graphic as conflicts between original members. And I'm aware that's not all, I grew up in one of those other ones. But that is still a huge success. There was no other time as long as say, France and Germany existed as states, when a war between France and Germany was as unlikely as now.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Did you meet Kim Jong Un?

KRISTI NOEM: As soon as this was brought to my attention, I made some changes and looked at this passage

BRENNAN: So you did not meet with Kim Jong Un?

NOEM: I've met with many world leaders. I'm not going to talk about specifics.

aaron.rupar,

BRENNAN: You never went to North Korea

NOEM: Yes I have. I've been there.

BRENNAN ... you have?

NOEM: There are details in this book that talk about going to the DMZ

aaron.rupar,

Brennan to Noem: "At the very end of the book, you say the very first thing you'd do if you got to the White House is you'd make sure Biden's dog is nowhere on the grounds. 'Commander, say hello to cricket.'"

Noem responds by suggesting Commander should be put down 😳

@cenbe yeah that too ;) I generally prefer text to video for most things.News sites (like CNN) are quite annoying in their attempts to foist videos and animated GIFs on you. Weather videos are a thing I look at.

gtconway3,

Okay, after puzzling over this, I think I figured out what must have happened.

A dog ate the draft of the book. Obviously they had to shoot the dog to make the world safe for books, but they still had to reconstruct the draft.

Someone saw bits of a passage about Noem meeting “Kim,” and assumed it was the DPRK dictator. In fact, it was Kim Guilfoyle.

Bad dog.

"""
Przetwarzanie predykcyjne rzuca też światło na szeroki zakres typowych i atypowych form ludzkiego doświadczania. Dobrym punktem wyjścia jest spostrzeżenie, że są dwa ogólne sposoby, jak coś może pójść nie tak. Pierwszy polega na tym, że mózg przykłada zbyt małą wagę do przewidywań i oczekiwań. Utrudnia to wykrycie nikłych, lecz przewidywalnych wzorców w pełnym zakłóceń i niejednoznacznym środowisku. Drugi sposób, to przykładanie zbyt dużej wagi do tego, czego się spodziewamy. W skrajnych przypadkach takie przeważenie może prowadzić do halucynacji. Widzimy i słyszymy rzeczy, których nie ma, tylko dlatego […], że na pewnym poziomie silnie ich się spodziewamy.

Początkowo sądzono, że spektrum autyzmu to szczególny przypadek niezbilansowaniu pierwszego rodzaju — systematyczne niedoważenie wcześniejszych oczekiwań. […] Niedoważenie wcześniejszej wiedzy miałoby powodować trudności w wykrywaniu, a także w uczeniu się, słabych lub ulotnych wzorców. Problemy mogłyby sprawiać wyrazy twarzy, intonacja, język ciała […]. Jednak najnowsze badania rzucają cień wątpliwości na tę wstępną hipotezę. Pojawiają się intrygujące dowody wskazujące na to, że sedno problemu stanowi nie osłabienie roli przewidywań w oparciu o wiedzę, lecz przypisywanie nadmiernej wagi do przychodzących informacji sensorycznych.

[…]

Ona nie czuje po prostu "głodu", zamiast tego dominują poszczególne, bardziej szczegółowe sygnały organizmu. Czujesz mnóstwo czegoś — tylko czego? Według teorii przewagi informacji sensorycznych, osoby w spektrum autyzmu ciągle spotykają się z nadmiarem bardzo szczegółowych i pozornie istotnych informacji sensorycznych tego rodzaju, zarówno z wnętrza ciała i ze świata zewnętrznego. To przeciążenie utrudnia identyfikację "na bieżąco" szerszego kontekstu lub scenariusza (tutaj: głodu). Innymi słowy, nacisk na każdy aspekt, każdy detal sprawia, że tak skupiamy się na pojedynczych drzewach, że nie dostrzegamy lasu.

Weekend reading: Why is the “moderate” mainstream propagating rightwing conspiracies about “woke” indoctrination?

A deep dive into what George Packer gets so wrong about the university, critical theory, and the legacy of the 1960s student protests.

This week’s piece:

This crackdown on college protests and the support it is receiving from mainstream elites is about Israel and Gaza – but not just about Israel and Gaza. It is also fueled by a pervasive sense that things have gone too far, that these “woke” radicals urgently need to be reined in.

tzimmer_history,
@tzimmer_history@mastodon.social avatar

Packer preemptively blames the students for a Trump win in November, warning that the Right will exploit these “excesses of the left.”

Has it occurred to him that he is helping them succeed by laundering and legitimizing every Rufo conspiracy for a mainstream audience?

Liebes Rest-Deutschland außerhalb Sachsens,

Unser MP ist übrigens keiner von den Guten. Er lässt hier seit Jahren demokratische Menschen alleine und plauscht lieber mit dem Nazi-Mob am Gartenzaun, anstatt die Polizei zu rufen.

Er gießt permanent Öl ins rechte Feuer und gibt Zeitungsinterviews mit Aussagen wie "der Lebensstil DIESER Menschen" gefiele ihm nicht; gemeint waren grün-linke Menschen.

Nur zur Einordnung, wenn er in den nächsten Tagen irgendwo in den Medien auftaucht.
