  1. Again, you need to get your information from more places than just Twitter https://www.kvue.com/article/news/education/texas-state-board-of-education-public-school-curriculum-biblical-references/269-33dae414-9316-48bd-a6a1-f3dd87a981b9 Put the most relevant portion wrt/ funding and arm twisting in the quote above
  2. Right now, the state of Texas is giving schools $60 a head if they agree to add the Bible to their curriculum. While they're taking funds away left and right. Public schools are becoming explicitly Christian schools. That's fucked. Just an example of where our civil rights are being eroded
  3. Inb4 you're accused of antisemitism by a proud boy for questioning the 10 commandments
  4. I mean, just look at GRUhorn. Dude has been IPbanned a bunch of times and told directly he's not welcome, and yet he remains across dozens of handles
  5. You are going buckwild on Thanksgiving lol. I guess you do feel a little guilty somewhere for voting the way you did. I don't understand someone being this unhinged before noon on a holiday when it's not a gameday
  6. There's nothing to fix, if you're a republican. All the bad health outcomes for women are a feature, not a bug. None of what's happening is unexpected, and was predicted when the legislation was passed. You didn't give a shit then, and you don't give a shit now. Go enjoy your victory over women's health with WWS, your peer here on surly
  7. Man you really need to not get your information exclusively from Twitter. Pronghorn out front shoulda told ya
  8. Insta and Twitter are both dogshit platforms that have moved past the growth phase of their business and into value extraction. The worse performance and user experience is an artifact of that shift.
  9. I got it on Android, and it's SUCH a great mobile game! Makes flights much less boring lol
  10. So you're saying the above people were specifically and personally targeting federal employees that enforced rules they didn't like? Is this some weird #bothsides defense of what musk is doing?
  11. It really is wild how this oligarch has so successfully bought control of the federal government https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/27/business/elon-musk-government-employees-targets/index.html Unsurprisingly, musk is targeting mostly women as being unnecessary in federal agencies
  12. Katy ISD banned Slaughterhouse Five, Wicked, The Freedom Writer Diaries, and more https://www.houstonchronicle.com/neighborhood/katy/article/katy-isd-new-banned-books-19932193.php
  13. Well duh, it's a protocol and not a dog shit platform that fired 80% of it's engineering staff just to save on costs
  14. You're gonna learn to love just how malleable words can be in an (openly) fascist justice system
  15. God, if I could go back and experience Portal again for the first time... I remember being stoked to get my copy of Portal 2 in at Jester West, back when a "digital preoder" was preordering a disk on Amazon lol
  16. Yeah IDK man, I'm pretty sure Ukraine's aid is gonna come to a swift end. They're already sharpening their knives over the failed attempt to blackmail Zelensky, which does not signal support for their war against Russia
  17. That's the beauty! You could set up a separate feed that just collects your degeneracy, or tweak it to intersperse hot singles in your area with your sports shit posting. The idea is that since it's protocol driven and not platform driven, you control your own algorithm
  18. Well he did hostilely take over the former "town square of discussion on the Internet" just to welcome all the nazis and sandyhook/911/plandemic truthers back. He forced himself and a mountain of shit into the middle of things. Honestly, that's the best feature of bluesky and the AT protocol. It's super easy to durably block out shitheads and prevent that crap from creeping back into your feed. You control your own algo, so you really can just have a descending timeline view and not get bombarded with bullshit and sex ads and hate
  19. So the guy that believes that Ukraine is the aggressor in russia is also arguing that tech billionaires are being treated unfairly by the government?
  20. And when they've been starving schools of funds and will deepen that with vouchers, ANY source of funds will be jumped at. From the article: The curriculum is optional for Texas public schools. They do not have to opt in, but a financial incentive exists if they choose to. If they do opt in, the state would give the district an extra $60 per student. "These budget-strapped districts may be looking to anything to help bring a few extra dollars into these very tight budget situations that they find themselves in," said Kelsey Kling, a government relations specialist and policy analyst for the Texas American Federation of Teachers. In recent weeks across the state, Molina said districts have been looking at cutting expenses and programs to ensure they can pay teachers and bills, and give students a quality education experience. "At this time, that's the only way to get a little bit of extra money for their school districts," Molina said. "We are seeing school districts passing by. It deficits, trying to figure out how they're going to ensure that their schools stay open, that their educators aren't rushed out of education in a state where we already have a teacher shortage, not just with the teachers this year, but of a shortage of people wanting to come into education because of all of the different burdens that are being put on our educators at this time."
  21. My bad, got you crossed with handcrusher
  22. It'll be interesting to see now long that infographic stays true for us, top and bottom
  23. You're talking to someone who's entire livelihood is standing between patients and doctors and charging a handling fee to let them do medicine. He doesn't give a fuck about health outcomes, just that he gets a piece and can maintain his cognitive dissonance
  24. I can't fathom a person calling Jan 6th an abomination then looking themselves in the mirror after voting Trump for a 3rd time. Unless they were fully committed to being a piece a shit. It's simple, crusher is voting with his wallet. He'll sell way more guns when society breaks down and everyone is more desperate
