β€˜Hey’ came before β€˜hi,’ and β€˜hi' came before β€˜hello.’

β€˜Hi’ is most likely a variant of β€˜hey.’

β€˜Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?"

It's rough out here on these teaching streets.

Man.

The world fucking is on fire.

So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.

Live whats left of your only life.

If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.

Fuck the haters.

T. rex took 40 years to reach full size, study finds Tyrannosaurus rex may have taken far longer to grow up than scientists once thought. By analyzing growth rings in fossilized leg bones from 17 tyrannosaur specimens and using new statistical methods, ...

That's because they coddle them too much now. Back in my day, it only took 20 years for T-Rexes to fully mature, because they had discipline. Spare the rod, spoil the terrible tyrant lizard.

A gradual northward shift in the Gulf Stream has provided more evidence that the system of currents keeping Europe warm is weakening. And modelling suggests that abrupt shift in the Gulf Stream could signal an imminent, catastrophic collapse in the ocean current.

Posts like these are really good honeypots at sussing out sockpuppet accounts or people who lack any modicum of critical thought or consideration as to why someone who would say this. Gives you a nice list of posters to either immediately mute to future-proof your feeds or just to block in advance

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida

After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.

The New York Times Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.

Slurs spoke themselves unto the mouths of young GOP members again! I just hope that they're all OK!🀑

Slurs emitted themselves fully formed, from the fingertips of innocent far-right people! That must have been terrifying for them! 🀑

Pray for those that survived spontaneous chat room devolution! 🀑
