researchers discovered that a coin, when flipped, overwhelmingly yielded a useful “heads” or “tails” result and almost never landed on edge. this indicates that the coin has situational awareness, intelligently refining its outcomes to those with the greatest contextual value
yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard?

apparently Wikipedia has more rigorous standards than every university on the planet, university administrators, edtech enthusiasts, (certainly more than) AI bros, several prominent academic journals, and too many professors and teachers
Ok but his dad saying it like a mantra isn't going to make him better than the G-Leaguer he really is.
I've never been there! Only ever the Orlando airport, which is weird. (Two different sections behind security that don't connect with each other?)
Some terminals in ORD are better than others, but definitely not the best. I weirdly like DFW, and agree MSP is great. So is Denver's airport, actually. Sadly, Newark was worse when I was a kid...😬 Don't know what that says about it now.
I've only been to LAX a few times. Newark sucks but I hate the existence of LaGuardia. Philly also used to be bad but it's been a while since I've gone through there.
We all know the worst airport in the US is LaGuardia.
And her momentum is not slowing any time soon, with a new HBO Max series adaptation of the Harry Potter books going into production this summer, expected to run for a decade beginning in late 2026 and mint a whole new generation of fans. Forbes estimates that Rowling could earn about $20 million per year for her involvement in the new series—one part of a wide-ranging deal with Warner Bros.—and she was "very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director," said HBO Max CEO Casey Bloys in November. One has to imagine she had the same input in casting the new pre-teen Harry, Hermoine and Ron, announced on Monday. When asked about Rowling's politics on an episode of The Town
J.K. Rowling is using her wealth attained from the Harry Potter series to create an organization dedicated to removing transgender people's rights "in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces." The author announced in a Saturday post to X, formerly Twitter, that she would be founding the J.K. Rowling Women's Fund, using her personal fortune. The website for the group states that it "offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women's sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces."
If you need help convincing people not to watch the new HP show, here it is. JKR will make $20m per year from the show, per Forbes. She also openly admits that she pours her fortunes into anti-trans activism, per Yahoo News. There’s a direct pipeline between HP and trans people’s suffering.
Flock’s cameras are being used to target immigrants, abortion seekers, protestors and abuse survivors. This is why people are mobilizing to get their city to drop Flock contracts

Illustration from "Conchologia Iconica" showing nine detailed, colored drawings of Cyclostoma shells arranged sparsely on a cream background. Each shell varies slightly in shape, size, and color, ranging from brown to gray, with visible spirals and openings. They are labeled with numbers 92 to 99, including variants "a" and "b" for some shells. The image highlights the distinct coiled and textured surface of these small mollusk shells. The top right corner has the title "Cyclostoma Pl. XV," and the artist and printer names appear faintly at the bottom corners. The illustration reflects 19th-century scientific shell documentation.
