A new report by the national research organization Public Agenda found that many young men are skeptical of higher ed’s value and are more likely than their female counterparts to believe colleges are better designed for women.
The report, called “Listening to Young Men,” examines the attitudes of American men on higher ed and other topics. Its findings are based on a survey of 3,559 American adults aged 18 or older fielded in November. Public Agenda also conducted three online focus gr…

Hyperbolic Geometry Part 2:
How to get seriously lost.
Topics:
How to fit an infinitely long stick between a pair of nearly-closed crocodile jaws.
How "directions" get messed up. Why it is that even if you can get everybody to agree on where "North" is, that won't tell you **anything** about "South"
(i.e., **every** non-North direction will be "South" — as in 180° away from North — for **somebody**).
What you need…

Hyperbolic Geometry 2 — How to Get Seriously Lost

When the conservative American commentator Tucker Carlson sat down last year for a buzzy interview with Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian,
the unlikely encounter would most likely never have happened without the involvement of a tiny, independent Iranian outlet.
Mahdi Ahmadi, the founder of Azad, a six-person team that hosts debates in Tehran and publishes them on YouTube, pitched Mr. Carlson on the idea, he said, and then connected him with the president’s team.

Saw #WizardOfTheKremlin , probably the last screening at my local. Now I'd like to read the book.
For a film about Putin (told from his advisor's point of view), you learn almost nothing about his motivations / mentality. But I did learn that events I had separated in my mind occurred at nearly the same time (Putin turning to politics/Russian apartment bombings 1 month later) (Sochi Olympics/'little green men' invasion of Ukraine).
There are a number of interesting one liners/points of view from all of the protagonists and some nostalgic (for me) nightclub scenes.
The costume, hair and makeup departments were excellent, btw, with exactly the right bad haircuts. Alexander Zaldostanov and Igor Sechin looked especially convincing, Putin was also surprisingly true-to-life.

Just finished "Healer of the Water Monster" by Brian Young. I'm reading a bunch of juvenile fiction right now in a quest to have some good recommendations for my kids to read in a few years when they're old enough, and this one definitely makes the cut, with deeply-integrated #OwnVoices Diné cultural elements, good (to my reading) handling of complex topics like divorce and depression, and cool magical elements. This is exactly the kind of new generation of kids' fiction I'm looking for that drops the regressive themes present in so much of what I read at that age. For example, I just before this I read Howl's Moving Castle and then The House of Many Ways by Dianna Wynne Jones, and while the first was pretty much great, the sequel has a whole benevolent monarchy thing that's central to the book in a way that weighs down the politics of the book a lot. Unsurprisingly, the indigenous perspective is a refreshing one.

There’s specifically a bunch of “history” channels that do this, on various topics such as computer games.
It’s heartbreaking to read comments from people who wonder why the channel doesn’t have more subscribers—and they feel so awful when they learn from other commenters that they’ve been suckling on slop teats.

#Python #pip: so, we have a bunch of `--no-*` options. You can also enable them via a configuration file. Some of them need to be assigned `true` to be enabled, while others need to be assigned `false` instead 🤡.
