Knowledge is power.

We understand a very small subset of what we use every day, and that can only be catastrophic.

The whole feud was very sad to unfold.

Ok, he is not perfect, but we need him, now more than ever. Even if only as a symbol.

Users stop watching on Youtube to go watch on Tiktok. I can't see that as a win.

None of the platforms allowed employs E2E encryption, does it?

In an interview with Variety, Harley Quinn (2021) executive producer Justin Halpern shared:

It’s incredibly gratifying and free to be using characters that are considered villains because you just have so much more leeway… A perfect example of that is in this third season of ‘Harley’ [when] we had a moment where Batman was going down on Catwoman. And DC was like, ‘You can’t do that. You absolutely cannot do that.’ They’re like, ‘Heroes don’t do that.’ So, we said, ‘Are you saying heroes are just selfish lovers?’ They were like, ‘No, it’s that we sell consumer toys for heroes. It’s hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.’”

I don't think teachers are thinking about creating workers. They just apply the way they were raised.

School often represses creativity in favor of compliance.

Doesn't have to have a reason. The teacher finds something strange, you are punished. Think of blonde hair in Japanese schools.

In my parents' times, going to school in jeans was forbidden (in center Europe).
