honestly it's kinda mindblowing hearing stories about japanese teenagers like, ages 12~14 just. quitting school, leaving home, and just traveling the country following their favourite bands, being supported by their online friends and other people in the community, and just spending their time faking their age hanging out at bars and adult clubs that they aren't supposed to be at. cause it's like. from an american perspective the immediate reaction is "holy shit how are these kids not in serious peril" but then it's like. "how are they so lucky and so safe that they get to just do this without their lives getting ended in some way. how are they so lucky that doing this has actually improved their physical and mental health cause they're no longer stuck at home or stuck at school, and can instead find the places where they belong at and just thrive in those spaces". like kids literally stop being suicidal because they get to live their lives the way they want to

it's just mindblowing cause this kinda shit would straight up never work in the usa. and like, japan is by no means a country where crimes against minors are uncommon, and yet that kind of lifestyle is still possible for them, and it's just like, man.

SCOTUS struck down a Biden-era FCC regulation that prohibited telemarketer spam calls, because MAGA politicians & Trump appointed Jusitices gutted the _Chevron_ decision

TRUMP MAKE YOUR PHONE RING OFF HOOK WITH SPAM

this is the kind of full-length rant unseen since the bush era, a real tour de force of sentiment.

the best way to learn to write is by posting on forums on topics you're actually opinionated about. schools should use an online discussion platform (where you can post under multiple pseudonyms if desired, you should be able to control your level of anonymity to the other students) which allows you to take credit for individual posts in a way verifiable to the teacher, and each week you submit three posts for grading and feedback. no one would use chatGPT for this because it's short-form and there are natural incentives to express yourself effectively in such a setting. if it were me I would give a small amount of extra credit for talking about the assigned reading but wouldn't mandate it; some drones would try and shoehorn it in places and then students would call each other out for this behavior and take the opportunity to demonstrate their superior understanding of the material.

teachers should be able to handle jannying of edgy posts and spam but I really think there should just be one global admin who can dox people (other than voluntarily through the built-in mechanism) and there should be a multitude of different forums, not just one per class. you should be able to spin off group DMs and shit and have places where students in different classes and years can interact as well.
