Welcome to Thunderdome

Had a college recruiter tell me the nickname of the remedial math class for freshman is now "common core recovery."

Yeah, that statement is why the left side of the political spectrum is holding his to task on minor shit.

Thanks for the response Neo.

Common Core has been great. It's implementation by some school districts has been terrible.

CC is a disaster. Math scores have dropped and one of the two people who invented it said using it to replace what we had in schools is not why it was created.

I cannot say this emphatically enough, but "Fuck China".

I have been unplugged for the past day and a half, so I have no context.

An Icelandic employee of twitter found out they were locked out of their stuff, but had never been notified of being fired. He tried emailing HR/Elon/etc, got nothing. So he tweeted at Elon, who made fun of him for being disabled and hardly working, etc, and assured him he had been fired.

Then Elon had to eat crow.

You can't mock someone because they're disabled, but it's ok to mock anyone else?

That's ableist.

It's not ok to mock someone for disabilities they cannot control; It's OK to mock people doing stupid things, I assume.

Not defending Elon here as I would not mock someone for a disability, but I'm not sure this is correct. I think to PC people this is a line one should never cross, but to the people with the actual disability they don't want that line there. (Exceptions exist, obviously.) Daniel Tosh has a bit about this when he was working for Make-A-Wish and how the kids wanted to be ribbed and teased just like anyone else.

Isn't treating all people the same equality?

Subpeonaed for Epstein lawsuit.

This is against JP Morgan and Musk might have been introduced to JP Morgan via Epstein. No wrongdoing implied.

The graphic was a meh joke based on AOC and Musk's weird hate flirty relationship. However, Maze's comment is a home run. Well done.

Feels a bit generic on both sides, taking a single letter, even in a specific context.

Agreed.

However, you'd think Musk would have someone looking into this stuff before they go live with it. Unless he did and just doesn't give a fuck or wants to challenge it. Meta's is extremely broad and, unless I'm unaware of a product, not even in use.

Hilarious!

Musk should respond with something along the lines of, "Easy to be reliable when nobody uses your platform."

"I'd use your platform but I'm still under the age of 70."
