Ain’t That the Truth

The Times, They Are A blah blah blah

Remember when one of the biggest issues on schoolgrounds was posting a "Drug Free Zone" sign?

School districts across the country issued warnings, increased security and canceled classes Friday in response to vague, anonymous shooting and bomb threats that officials say were made on TikTok but are not considered credible.

However, TikTok said it has found no evidence of threats originating on its platform and is working to remove videos discussing the rumor.

Schools in Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, Montana, New York and Pennsylvania increased their police presence Friday due to the alleged threats while schools in California, Minnesota, Missouri and Texas closed for the day.

(Low) Bar Humor



I think I can top this. When I was all of 22 I didn't have my ID with me so the bartender asked me to smile. He indicated the lines around my eyes confirmed that I was old enough to be served alcohol. I started moisturizing my face that very evening and haven't stopped since.

Just An Observation

Yesterday the news showed two people in Afghanistan who had plummeted to their deaths from the exterior of airplanes. They not only showed the footage but circled the falling bodies so you couldn't miss it. In stark contrast to the radio airing of the Hindenburg disaster (oh the humanity!) That announcer was distraught by what he was witnessing. A far cry from how we view tragedy nowadays.

She’s Baaaaack

Afghanistan Withdrawal

July 2: The U.S. evacuates Bagram Airfield in the middle of the night The manner of the US departure from Bagram Airfield, the main hub of America's 20-year war in Afghanistan, offered a clue to the nature of the disaster to come. U.S. forces slipped away in the dead of night, shutting off the electricity and failing to notify the base's new Afghan commander. 'We (heard) some rumor that the Americans had left Bagram ... and finally by seven o’clock in the morning, we understood that it was confirmed that they had already left Bagram,' Gen. Mir Asadullah Kohistani, Bagram’s new commander, told the Associated Press. Leaving Bagram effectively signaled that America's war was over. The nature of the departure was a bitter blow for the Afghan forces pondering how they would fare without their mightiest ally. 'In one night, they lost all the goodwill of 20 years by leaving the way they did, in the night, without telling the Afghan soldiers who were outside patrolling the area,' said Afghan soldier Naematullah. Already there were signs that the 350,000 troops of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces were struggling A U.S. intelligence assessment, reported by the Wall Street Journal, said Kabul could collapse as quickly as six months after American forces left. It replaced a previous estimate that the government could survive for as long as two years. And yet, it only took approximately a week.

Niiiiiice

Eureka!

Both Harry and Meghan are examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias in which people with low intelligence/competence/ability tend to overestimate their capacities. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority that comes from an inability to objectively evaluate their own intelligence, competence and capacity. In other words, they don’t recognize their stupidity because they’re too stupid to do so.
