dojan , in Largest UK public sector trial of four-day week sees huge benefits, research finds
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, four day week instead of a seven day one? Nice! I better only have to work for two days.

TrickDacy ,

Cool you are cryptic

dojan ,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t see how I’m being cryptic. I’m poking fun at the headline saying that they’re trialling a four day week, not a four day work week.

My apologies if that was too obtuse.

I’d* better

Have any of these countries attempting these tried implementing it in schools? Wonder how it’d shake out for kids.

meant2live218 ,

As long as schools are treated as “free daycare” and work weeks remain 5 days long, it’ll never fly.

frankspurplewings ,

thecalifornianpaper.com/…/district-should-impleme…

There are a handful of districts making the switch. Most districts plan around educational hours instead of school days. It can be done with the right planning.

But the childcare aspect is huge. The district I work for started the conversation of a four day week in school year 22-23, but it stalled when they didn’t get support from parents and the local large hiring companies. I hope that discussion comes back eventually.

CheeseNoodle ,

Honestly I don’t think schools are ever going to truly work until we can figure out some way to not have people doing their primary learning while their brain is a hormonal dumpster fire. Which would probably require some kind of radical life extension so people can go to school after puberty or something.

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to teach people to read and write when they’re too young. That would be bad because hormones.

dojan ,
@dojan@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not about hormones, the problem is the way education is structured today. It doesn’t engage students properly. Sure there’s a bunch of extrinsic motivation, grades, punishment for not performing, etc. but there’s no fostering of intrinsic motivation.

Without motivation you won’t see results.

For intrinsic motivation to work, the system needs to meet the students where they’re at. That won’t work with all the standardisation that we’re attempting.

Sure, a lot of students will manage, some will even thrive, but those that don’t will be left by the wayside.

What? That wasn’t him, it was ANTIFA. One big liberal conspiracy. The only conservatives in the crowd that day were tourists who were innocently shunted along into the building. They never intended to go inside, it was the fault of ANTIFA and the woke liberal mob.

I’m wondering what his cult of personality would do if say, he had survived but his nose had been blasted off. Conservatives tend to be ableist, if he was uncomfortable to look at, would his support weaken significantly?

Depends on their definition of disaster or unrest.

Plane crash or hurricane: Fine.

Losing an election: Not fine.

octopus_ink , in A Trump Ally Is Training 75 Armed Citizens. Is That a Militia?

Well I get to cite this same paper twice in two days. We are on the scariest timeline for sure.

ABSTRACT

Between 4 November 1925 and 31 October 1926, Tito Zaniboni, Violet Gibson, Gino Lucetti, and Anteo Zamboni all tried and failed to kill Benito Mussolini. The significance of these attempts on Mussolini’s life and their relationship to the establishment of Fascism has gone overlooked as much scholarship focuses almost exclusively on the consequences of socialist deputy Giacomo Matteotti’s murder in June 1924. In this article, I analyse the impact that these assassination attempts had on Mussolini’s construction of the Fascist state. The article asks two main questions: What role did these assassins, and the state of emergency that their acts generated, play in the establishment of Fascist control? And how did they contribute to Mussolini’s cult status and his consecration as a ‘man of providence’? I argue that the failed assassination attempts were instrumental in allowing the Fascist regime to create a state of emergency and to capitalize on a fabricated demand for crisis management. These attempts fundamentally structured the conditions for the regime’s consolidation of power, including a vast expansion of laws that dismantled the liberal state and established the Fascist dictatorship.

octopus_ink , in A Trump Ally Is Training 75 Armed Citizens. Is That a Militia?

The posting called the initiative a strategy to assist in the “protection of human life and property during an emergency” such as a hurricane or blackout — and perhaps, Mr. Blakeman later added, “a riot.”

Translation:

“Remember 2020? The next time those uppity n*****s try that shit, we’ll be ready.”

Basically, a massive narcissist was just martyred by someone in his own party. The narcissism will be even further off the charts now. His already unbearable cult of personality will got so far past 11, it’s going to be so much worse.

Xanis , (edited )

The optimist in me was so hoping Trump would see the error of his ways after his life was tried and another made forfeit in his stead.

Motherfucker still talking about himself. God damnit. I had a hopeful moment, my bad. Back to Plan A: Big ballsy Biden’s bountiful bouquet of blissful banter.

Which, I might add, is currently surrounded by the lackluster looming laughable languid leftist lobotomy of a circus performance, and I’m not only referring to the politicians. stares

It’s shit like this that reminds me A Christmas Carol is fiction

theangryseal ,

This whole thing about the dude being a member of his party… is that confirmed now?

Last I read was that the person had donated money to left leaning politicians but registered as a Republican to participate in the Republican primaries.

You never know what is up or down nowadays. I guess that’s probably always been true though.

Ledivin ,

I think the donation has been debunked as an elderly man with the same name.

This is why we shouldn’t speculate until actual information is out. Most of the basis of our speculation is going to be flat-out wrong.

theangryseal ,

Oh I agree with you, that was my point pretty much. I was wondering if more had came out.

tiefling ,

It was a 20 year old, hardly someone with a long political history. He wasn’t even able to legally drink.

theangryseal ,

At 20 I was passionately political. Anecdotal, I know.

It’ll all come out eventually. Maybe he wrote something.

Monument ,

I think it’s reasonably confirmed.

“He definitely was conservative”: Classmates paint picture of Republican “outcast” who shot Trump – Salon.com

Heaping on: He registered to vote as a Republican in the ‘22 midterm. A reason being given for a Democrat to register as Republicans is said to be to spoil primaries, but he did not vote in this year’s primary, so I think that line of thought is less likely.

theangryseal ,

In the article you shared. “Campaign finance records show that in January 2021, as a 17-year-old, Crooks gave $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a pro-Democrat political action committee, Axios reported. However, records show that he later registered as a Republican and voted in the 2022 midterm elections.”

Why did he give money to Progressive Turnout Project?

I don’t know man. It’s obviously not black and white.

Monument ,

Honestly, who knows?

The news is saying that his voter registration was weeks after he turned 18. His peers have repeatedly said they believe he was a conservative, and he registered republican.

I would more trust his voter registration (which held constant for 2 years) and the words others say about patterns of actions from him than a one-time donation to a PAC.

Just a fall guy for the powers that be. Don’t worry about him.

Just an inch to the side and this nightmare would finally have a beginning act of the end of the party of Trump.

Simpsons did make a prediction for September though so my hopes are not dead

I don’t know tbh, but a bunch of Simpsons fans are mentioning there’s a prediction for Trump in September and I don’t have my life together enough to go and look it up

    End of the party of Trump, maybe. They’d still probably invoke his name at every opportunity.

    End of the party of fascism and nihilistic corruption? No way, he’s a figurehead there.

    littletranspunk ,

    Totally agree with you. Fascism has never been defeated by voting and an assassination wouldn’t do much more than delay it at best.

    @garretble@lemmy.world avatar

    Everyone is saying it’d be unsafe for tDS crew to be there, which may not be false.

    But also what jokes can you tell at this point? It’s kind of a no win situation to tell some jokey news about the guy who almost got assassinated because then you are the “liberal media who doesn’t care” or whatever BS they’ll spin on you. Even if you turn around and show footage of Trump joking about Pelosi’s husband getting assaulted, it won’t matter to the people it needs to matter to because they aren’t watching tDS anyway. They’ll hear what trump’s group says and that’s it.

    Oh no the “liberal media who doesn’t care” quick let’s all concern ourselves with the feelings of right wingers who were going to support Trump regardless and attack anyone else over anything real or fake.

    What’s with the fucking pandering and worry over magats thoughts.

    Here’s what I say to the failed opportunity:
