  • reading the bible is a surefire way to make more atheists

    That was true when kids were taught critical thinking and media literacy skills. A lot of kids today are barely literate thanks to “no child left behind” and state test focusing. And, that was before the flood of tech and chatGPT in the classroom.

    Realistically, what’s going to happen is these kids are going to “read” a passage, not be able to interpret its meaning. Then be told what it means from their heavily biased “instructor” with an agenda. It will amount to state sponsored religious propaganda.

    This is why christian nationalist want to defund schools and critical thinking skills. They don’t want you to “think” and question. They want you to be told.


  • Mamdani might be limited legislatively to the bounds of NYC, but his popularity, charm and thus politics extend far beyond that. He doesn’t think he’s on the same stage, the media is literally putting him on the same stage. His ideals and campaigns are being widespread far far beyond just the city he oversees.

    There’s as much coverage of Mamdani as there is of governors/senators, more in many cases. Like, who even knows whotf is the governor of Wyoming? or a senator of South Dakota? You could look it up, but that the point, you have to go find out, they’re not popular. Popularity is politics…

















  • you’re just be pedantic. The issue isn’t about it being “mostly”, it’s about if its a “men’s” thing. A 42/58 isn’t that wide of a gap to say that it’s one gender’s thing. As the difference could likely just be attributed to other cultural factors and not the thing itself.

    If office workers were split 42/58, you wouldn’t call it a “man’s” job, even if technically there’s more men.
