Maria Montessori on “the sorry spectacle of the teacher who...must pour certain cut & dried facts into the heads of the scholars...[and so] finds it necessary to discipline her pupils into immobility & to force their attention. Prizes & punishments are ever-ready & efficient aids to the master who must force into a given attitude of mind and body those who are condemned to be his listeners.”

Bingo. A traditional fact-based curriculum necessitates traditional bribe-&-threat classroom management.

Israeli paper reveals MKO’s operational role in attacks on Iranian soil en.abna24.com/news/1717573/Isr…

Ολη η διαδρομή της Ελλάδας απο την αρχαιότητα μεχρι σήμερα, ο πολιτισμος, οι τεχνες και τα γραμματα, καθε μάχη,καθε νικη και ήττα, η δόξα, οι ταπεινώσεις, ο μύθος, η αρχή , το τέλος και η ιστορία ολοκληρη, καταληγει μοιραια σε ενα και μονο ονομα που τα κουβαλα ολα αυτα στις ακουραστες πλατες του.

Κανένα πρόβλημα. Μόλις γίνουν τουριστικά φέρετρα, το προσωπικό θα αποτελείται ΕΞΟΛΟΚΛΗΡΟΥ από εκπολιτισμένους, καταλλήλως καταρτισμένους και ενδελεχώς πλυμένους αριστερούς που θα προσφέρουν Εθνικό Έργο για μετάνοια.

Thanks to a tip from @neurovagrant, I have cancelled my audible subscription and I have created an account with libro.fm.

As I listen to audiobooks alsmost exclusively in English, any Dutch services do not cover my audio/listening needs and wishes.

To check if libro.fm was a good fit for me, I compared my wishlist at audible (currently at about 30 titles) with the libro.fm catalogue: apart from 1 title it was a complete fit.

Next up: copying over my wishlist from one to the other, check out the specific membership options (probably going for a 2 credit/month version again) and get ready to listen.

Biggest perk: you can Download Your Purchased Audio Books!
Second biggest perk: supporting an independent bookstore, unfortunately only in the USA at the moment.

Join me? libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm9…

Οι γερμανικές αρχές έχουν χάσει κάθε αίσθηση μέτρου και ηθικής, όπως και αν τις εξετάσεις (Παλαιστίνη, Ισραήλ, Ουκρανία, Σένγκεν, μετανάστες, ίντερνετ).

Υπάρχει γενικότερα μια διάθεση πλήρους υπονόμευσης της ελευθερίας στο διαδίκτυο, η οποία εξελίσσεται σε διάφορα μέτωπα, όπως το chat control, η επαλήθευση ηλικιας του χρήστη και αυτή η μάχη με τους ad blockers (την οποία δε γνώριζα - ευχαριστώ Fou). Όλα πατάνε σε σαθρα επιχειρήματα και έχουν ως κοινη συνισταμένη την εξάλειψη της ιδέας της ελευθερίας στο διαδίκτυο.

Εδώ μερικές προτάσεις για το τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε ενάντια στο chat control:

Why are radios so generic? I mean why do they always have to play songs that already everyone knows about?
Their strength in times of the internet and algorithms is to get people out of their bubbles and present them good music from more unknown bands. Especially because algorithms support bubbles, radios could be a movement against them. They could support small artists and make it easier for them to get big.

Do #radio stations like this exist? And if not, am I missing something?

Crusader Kings 3 modding legend strikes again with impressive African expansion

It would be practically impossible for a game to cover the entire history of the world with enough detail to satiate every appetite. Luckily, that's where the players come in. Crusader Kings 3 is a brilliant historical strategy game, but its focus is predominately on Europe. Many pieces of DLC expand on that region, including the forthcoming All ...
