"Florida has banned Advanced Placement Psychology in all public schools because the course includes content on sexual orientation and gender identity, a violation of the state’s draconian “Don’t Say Gay” law.

The College Board revealed the ban on Thursday, adding that it has heard from teachers across the state who are heartbroken by the news."

I wrote more than 1k posts and... never done a proper #introduction

Ok, I'm from Italy, my amygdala runs on metal music.
I speak also English and Java (you need an interpreter to understand me).
I read books at slow pace but I read (or I try to).
I like nerdy stuff. Still, I don't know if I deserve to be called a nerd.
I fuckin' love music hashtags.

I'm here because I want to have fun and know good people. 😃
Ciao!

Attempting once again to migrate to a living server. Hello. There will be more here soon if I am successful.

Edit: it was successful! Mastodon didn’t like the previous server I tried?? But this one is working fine.

In a large study correlating IQ with income, it was found that there's a clear (but not very strong) correlation. However, the top 3 earners (top 2 being far ahead of everyone else, with a big gap) were all below 100 IQ.

Never believe minimizers who lie and say there’s nothing more we can do to mitigate the spread of #COVID. This would be a huge game-changer!

Scientists are developing a breathalyzer that can detect coronavirus in just one or two breaths and provide results in less than 1 minute. The test could be more accurate than rapid home tests and faster than PCR tests.

It's expensive for Texas taxpayers to have racists running their state.

An entire country of 88 million people, over 1% of the world population, is shutting down for two days because of climate change.

It's a metaphor, people. It's not like Ron DeSantis is an actual twisted, hollowed-out sociopath, a former Gitmo torturer who kidnaps migrant children, claims slavery was vocational school for blacks, and pushes laws that promote #LGBTQ+ teen suicide. Oh wait.

Introduction to Ambiguity, Uncertainty and Doubt

I created a magazine to build a sense of community. If the experiment proves successful, I will create a #kbin server devoted to the subject.

Please ask questions about personal matters that are difficult to answer. The responses follow a methodology based on math, colors and the geometry of a clockface. Gaining a full understanding of the philosophy will take some time to realize.

People may not associate Microsoft with design, but for good or bad, their font decisions have a big impact on the role of typography.

I've been fascinated by the evolution of whales for a long time. (See my first book, At the Water's Edge.) Now comes a really weird whale: about 40 million years ago, Perucetus may have been the heaviest animal ever https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/02/science/whale-fossil-weight.html

I thought you might need to see this right now.
