@ionica except that if the rich guy gets hit with the trolley, it will only be a mildly stubbed toe for him. Despite this, the trolley will still be sent to roll over the masses

@TheJewberwocky Sometimes I wonder if there might be a way to allow us to use premade algorithms or create our own within Mastodon to find the posts we're interested in. I know the birdsite uses algorithms - maybe if we could control them ourselves, they would be less problematic?

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I'm still not talking about Black history. I'm still talking about white US history.

Q: Why do Black kids not do well in school? Is it because their dads are uninvolved and uncaring parents? Bill Cosby and Herschel Walker told me that, and they are good and wise men that we should listen to! It's Black dads' fault! Boo Black men!

A: No. Black kids only do poorly in school *in extremely racist countries.*

Big Journalism grossly downplayed the accomplishments of the Biden administration and Democratic-controlled Congress in 2021-22.

Now, Big Journalism is puzzled that the public isn't aware of those accomplishments.

(Not a hint of this in the Post story, of course...)

@beatnikprof That's the right move by Illinois. I hope more blue states do the same.

@beatnikprof it’s not clear to me how anyone could take any product the college board is peddling after this revealing fail.

@heidilifeldman it’s not entirely clear to me how to strike this balance. I’ve already had to unfollow people because they overwhelm my feed, but I do appreciate some of what they are boosting.

@GottaLaff How we continue to let our children take AP classes and standardized tests administered by the College Board?

This may be the worst headline I've ever read from any major national news outlet.

The Times transforms DeSantis's aggressive, state-sponsored campaign of bigotry into a savvy brand-building venture by an edgy politician. https://w…

The College Board Strips Down Its A.P. Curriculum for African American Studies

The official course looks different from a previous draft: No more critical race theory, and the study of contemporary topics — like Black Lives Matter — is optional.
