It’s interesting, mindfulness and meditation really weren’t that popular, at least in a mainstream way, before smartphones got popular. I feel like a big part of why it blew up was pretty much because people were feeling overwhelmed with modern multitasking and needed an outlet.
It’s been that way since the redesign. Nilay went all in on building it around Twitter and then ElonGate happened, so they kinda backed themselves into a corner. Pretty good coverage of the reddit blackout though.
The rock where they think people can’t tell the difference between a press release and journalism
Ah, ok. So it’s basically the legal equivalent of Macho Man’s cream of the crop promo? Got it
It’s interesting how some people tout Lemmy and Mastodon cross posting, but all it does is confuse me. I like mastodon for short things like news as you said, but when lemmy comments get mixed in I don’t know where to start
So I read the document, and I think it’s actually worse than what OP wrote. Looking through the curriculum, there’s a steady emphasis on African Americans as “patriots”
And conveniently there’s no mention of how systemic racism and white supremacy still exist and oppress African Americans today. Garvey, etc. Are mentioned but conveniently in the past.
Which is what they want. Emphasize the model people and show that they can be patriots. Downplay what you don’t like. Maybe your definition of education is different but I don’t think it should be about saying we should all be good little flag salutors.
I agree that it’s rage bait, but you can’t trust Florida on this.
Btw the fact that America makes kids pledge an oath to a flag every morning is fucked up, just saying.
