I can see that, my own reading is just that it's all going on in head

the transparent/translucent electronics trend of the 90s and early 2000s

I've been feeling nostalgic for this look lately. I really like how it emphasizes the artificial nature of the device in question and invites you to think about how it works and how it was put together - while minimalist electronics do exactly the opposite, almost as if you're embarrassed about owning it and want to pretend that it's not there.

Iranian man still supports Trump despite wife and entire ethnic group being targeted by ICE

It's got to be a cuckold fetish.

I have a hypothesis that college can solve this problem by "inversing" lectures and homework.

edit: sounds like a lot of places do this already so that's cool.

Have your students watch lectures and do reading on their own time. Hell, they can ask ChatGPT to summarize it for them if "it's just a tool" and they want to use it! But everything that gets a grade should be done in class. You will write the essay by hand, you will do the math with no more powerful a calculator than a TI-83, you will give a presentation to show that you understand the material. Book is open, accommodations for special needs are available, and the teacher is here to help and give guidance and clarification, but internet connections are banned.

Buuuuut ~~American colleges would never do this because~~ ensuring that your graduates actually learn things was never the point.

China and the Soviets got it right. You gotta treat religious institutions as every bit as backward and reactionary as you treat capitalist ones. That doesn't mean you ban them outright, but you bring them under control of the state and keep them from preaching anything out of line or using their cultural influence against the DOTP.

every day I yearn for a Magneto movie where he is just straight up right about everything.

I'm disappointed that the senator wasn't willing to cause an international incident over this. Like handcuffing himself to Kilmar and leading him back to his plane, daring the el salvador cops to do something about it.
