“You can’t protest peacefully. You can’t boycott. You can’t hunger strike. You can’t hijack planes. You can’t block traffic. You can’t throw Molotovs. You can’t self-immolate. You can’t heckle politicians. You can’t march. You can’t riot. You can’t dissent. You just can’t be.” ~~ Mohammed El-Kurd

“‘We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation — anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of Nature. We make the laws of Nature.’” ~~ George Orwell

 

Straight Line of the Day: Well, You Might As Well Tell Us What You’d Add To the Lesson Plan for the Little Tykes

Students given AI slop with misspelled state names, faulty table of elements, angering parents
NYPost | 8/21/26 | Marc Vartabedian

Kentucky middle school parents are furious over instructional packets teachers assigned their kids that were filled with AI slop like misspelled state names and a faulty table of elements, according to a report.

The packet, handed out on the first day of class at Farnsley Middle School in Louisville, featured a US geography map with jaw-dropping flubs like Kentucky being mislabeled “Venecky” and Louisiana as “Lookoong,” according to local news station WDRB.

“Mom, did you know that we live in Venecky?” Stacey Morris said her son joked to her on the drive home after his first day.

She didn’t know what her son was talking about until she opened the material and was appalled by the lesson, according to WDRB.

“Arizona is Arizone. Illinois starts with a V. I mean, it’s crazy,” Morris said, adding that Texas was spelled “Taxas” and New Mexico was “New Mizone,” while Oklahoma was morphed into “Olkchoma.”

Quote of the Day

“I believe it is vital – to civilization, to liberty, to everything we wish for our species, especially for our young. Reading shapes the way we think. Not the content (that too, but it is near irrelevant). It shapes the way we CAN think, which opens our capacity to think. It requires translating and assembling symbols into words, words into concepts, images -things in themselves far bigger than the little word. It’s a process the brain uses to process and store information, but more importantly, to create from. Reading is training this, the younger a child starts, the easier it becomes and more building blocks they have. It is also compound interest for there on in.

It is a genie repressed in illiterate societies. It is a genie that, once freed, cannot ever be put back. Those who champion freedom, must champion reading, and particularly reading fiction, because that trains the mind in taking symbolic logic into creating what is not. Into building something far beyond the mere literal meaning of words, transforming them. That is what drives us, makes us human, gives us dreams. That will give us the stars.

Without that we’re little more than sheep.

With it, we have a key to being far more.” ~~ Dave Freer

Straight Line of the Day: If Canadians Move or Die, Can We Move In?

What’s Wrong in Canada?
Free Beacon | 8/18/26 | Jonathan Leaf

Nickname: “Maple”

Last year, roughly 150,000 Americans chose to leave the United States. … 120,640 Canadians left Canada. The numbers aren’t so different. But the United States has eight-and-a-half times as many people. So, if the United States had the same rate of emigration, we would be losing close to 1.3 million people each year. That’s more than live in Boston and Miami combined.

Here’s an even more shocking statistic. In 2016, Canada legalized assisted suicide. Now eight times as many Canadians die from euthanasia as in car accidents. Increasingly, Canadians are anxious to leave either for another country or the undiscovered country.

No offense meant to our Canadian commenter.  It’s a beautiful country; that’s why we’d want to move there.
