Rich kids are more likely to get into an Ivy League school than middle-class kids with the exact same test scores. Here's a big reason why.

I remember the 2000 election. It was brought up that George W Bush is an ivy league graduate. I remember Al Gore saying his GPA was likely a "Gentleman's C".

Why don't Americans speak in British accents?

THEY DO! Shortly after the Revolutionary War, Upper Class British started using non-rhotic speech (they drop their R's), and it slowly trickled into the speech patterns of every day citizens. The British accent as we know it now is simply different now than it was then. The Boston accent is a good example of non-rhotic. Try saying "Park the car in Harvard yard" in a Boston accent and then again in a British accent, you'll hear the similarities. The more nasal and clipped way we speak is probably due to German influence, add in Native American Speech patterns, plus a wave of immigrants from all over the world, and new American accent was born, as well as a whole lot of regional ones!

There are many more Americans than English. I think it is "our" language now, not theirs. :--)

I've noticed a lot of snobbery about print statements. I love the debugger. "Right tools for the right job". Sometimes print statements are right for the problem.

“Weak,” “delusional,” “wimp,” “liddle,” and “gone to the Dark Side” are all insults that Donald Trump has flung at his former vice president, Mike Pence. But now that Pence has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, Trump very much wants his endorsement. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-wants-mike-pence-endorsement-1234865427/

So, lots of reports of abuse and bias on Mastodon today stemming from the Middle East conflict. Perhaps this heightened level of hostility derives from the fact this platform skews left, but these issues divide the left. It's kind of new for us. Whatever the cause, hate speech, antisemitism, islamophobia, racism and personal attacks are never called for and will probably get you blocked or banned. Let's commit to zero tolerance for this garbage. We're better than this. Be kind to each other.

There are a lot of people who have beliefs only because people of similar affiliations have those beliefs.

They are only doing superficial reading about current events if they look beyond headlines at all.

That isn't stopping them from mouthing off on social media.

In 2023 we are all shock jocks whether we like it or not and we do contribute to other people feeling motivated toward violence and misinformation.

Hey any journalists on here plz turn your public post indexing on, because most of you haven't and thats why people looking for public information cant find you.

Go to settings > public profile > privacy and reach, select "include public posts in search results"

Not all the fedi wants to be a public space, and thats fine, but some parts should be right now.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is on the Russian payroll

Texas-based American Ethane company donated tens of thousands to Johnson

88% of American Ethane was owned by three Russian oligarchs: Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev

Via @emptywheel:

Just for shits and giggles, Jack Smith should call up Sidney Powell and ask her whether her seeming reneging on her Fani Willis plea was a reaction to Trump's (gag-defying) Tweet about her.

My guess is that nothing will happen to her, legally, as long as she keeps with the part of the plea deal to testify.

It is so frustrating to see her and those like get away with so much for so long.
