warning everyone

I’m warning everyone. You have no idea how screwed up some of these early teens are. I work with over 100 of them a day. I have never seen anything like it. @wyattsheepie

24.8K Likes однако. и множество комментариев, в большинстве - одобрительные. причем у этого wyatt сравнительно не так много followers, 6,320. и среди его других tweets ни один не вызвал подобной реакции.

комментарии очень познавательные, вот, к примеру, thread

A school system in Georgia is allowing a student to identify as a cat. The student may wear cat collars to school. Wyatt is correct. Some Kids live in fantasyland. I say some kids because my grandchildren live in the real world.

and one of the replies to this

I have heard they are also putting litter boxes in the bathrooms for those who identify as cats.

опровергают / details

Trump-loving GOP chair pushes unhinged conspiracy about schools supplying 'litter boxes’ for student ‘furries’, добавлю от себя: but there are students who identify as ‘furries’, which is great for American liberty and equality.

squid game

в последней серии дедушка на больничной койке замечательно похож на Литвиненку. очень трогательно. это они нарочно? аллюзия, или как щас говорят "отсылка"? так или иначе - заебись, молодцы! еще в той же серии - лучший диалог, прямо из Беккета:

Сон: «Слушай внимательно. Я не лошадь. Я – человек. Поэтому я хочу знать, кто вы такие и как вы можете совершать такие зверства с людьми».
Мистер Х: «Игрок 456. Не выдумывай глупостей».
Сон: «Поэтому я не могу простить вам то, что вы делаете».
Мистер Х: «Просто сядь в самолет. Для твоего же блага».

несколько обидно для лошадей звучит. где вы, защитники жывотных.

Humour has become a central weapon of extremist movements to subvert open societies and to lower the threshold towards violence. - It’s not funny anymore. Far-right extremists’ use of humour

в общем Еврокомиссия предупреждает

есть недоработки, впрочем: "As a new generation of violent extremists emerges from digital subcultures without a clear organisational centre..." - как это without a clear organisational centre? а Кремль? а Ольгино?

hostile culture of conformity and fear

Math, Meritocracy and Race

Brooklyn College Education Prof. Claims Math Is ‘White Supremacist Patriarchy’ - это пишет The Jewish Voice 08/09/2020, не кто-нибудь. a вот из Bklyner., еще в 2018-м:

In an open letter from CUNY’s faculty/staff union, Professor James Davis, the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) union’s Brooklyn College Chapter Chair, urges for a proper statement by CUNY officials supporting Dr. Rubel. He claims that the professor has been receiving hostile emails, including threats of sexual and physical assault– something Dr. Rubel also speaks about in the podcast. In fact, she received emails from people bashing on her about being a woman, a Jew, and gay. - Math, Meritocracy and Race – Brooklyn College Professor Defends Her Work

вот ее собственные слова as quoted by The Jewish Voice:

“The idea that math (or data) is culturally neutral or in any way objective is a MYTH. I’m ready to move on with that understanding. Who’s coming with me?” Rubel wrote in a tweet.

“Along with the ‘of course math is neutral because 2+2=4’ trope and the related (and creepy) ‘math is pure’ and ‘protect math.’ Reeks of white supremacist patriarchy,” Rubel added. “I’d rather think on nurturing people & protecting the planet (with math in service of them goals).”

Normal People

Normal People (TV series)

посмотрел первый эпизод. это какой-то позор.
для тупых и пошлых детей простигосподи

кровавые коммунисты перевели и издали для советских детей Стокгольмскую историю в 1964-м, я ее читал в 14 лет или около того - разве можно сравнить

или вот повесть о первой любви

из отзывов на книжку на amazon:

Waste of time. The characters are flat, the content (there really is no plot) is boring and insipid, and the mechanics of her writing are so rote it becomes more than an annoyance. I absolutely hated this book and hated that it sucked hours of my life reading it.
...
In her new novel, NORMAL PEOPLE, Rooney is like the anti-zeitgeist zeitgeist writer, or the anti-hip hip writer. (sic!)
...
Do you ever consider the profound impact significant others have on your life?
...
I'm feeling tired just thinking about explaining myself and the annoyance, disappointment and... almost hurt I experienced while reading "Normal People". I want my money back!
