Is there a word in any language for the lag time between when a pedestrian crossing signal sounds and the delay as people look up from their mobile, check that it’s the right crossing signal for their side of the street, and then finally step forward? Meanwhile, the people behind them, without their head in their phones, are trying to move forward. #PayAttention

“To be honest, I don’t really pay attention to what supervillains say very much anymore. It’s always misunderstood genius this, you’ll regret the day that. Supervillains are, as a rule, drama queens. It gets old.”

More students head back to class without one crucial thing: their phones

Sequoia Carrillo, September 1, 2025

Excerpt: "In Texas, every public and charter school student will be without their phones during the school day this fall. Brigette Whaley, an associate professor of education at West Texas A&M University, expects to see "a more equitable environment" in classrooms with higher student engagement.

"Last year, she tracked the success of a cell phone ban in one west Texas high school by surveying teachers throughout the year. They reported more participation by students, and also said they saw student anxiety plummet – mainly because students weren't afraid of being filmed at any moment and embarrassing themselves.

" 'They could relax in the classroom and participate,' she said. 'And not be so anxious about what other students were doing.'

"The findings in west Texas align with results from many of the states and districts that are heading back to school without phones: Students learn better in a #PhoneFree environment. Getting cell phones out of the classroom is a rare issue with significant bipartisan support, allowing a rapid adoption of policies across red and blue states alike.

"Some 31 states and the District of Columbia now restrict students' use of #CellPhones in schools, according to Education Week."

A quotation from Cicero

No person is so foolish that they don’t understand that if we remain asleep at this moment we will have to live through a rule that is not only cruel and arrogant but ignoble and disgraceful too. You know this man’s arrogance, his friends, and his whole household. To serve shameful lusts, bullies, disgusting and irreverent thieves, those drunkards — well, that is the worst suffering married to the greatest dishonor.
 
[Nemo est tam stultus qui non intellegat, si indormierimus huic tempori, non modo crudelem superbamque dominationem nobis sed ignominiosam etiam et flagitiosam ferendam. Nostis insolentiam Antoni, nostis amicos, nostis totam domum. Libidinosis, petulantibus, impuris, impudicis, aleatoribus, ebriis servire, ea summa miseria est summo dedecore coniuncta.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
Philippics [Philippicae; Antonian Orations], No. 3, ch. 14 / sec. 34-35 (3.14/3.34-35) (44-12-20 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2021)]

How Children Are Influenced by...

#PayAttention Does anyone seriously still deny this is actually happening in the United States of America?! And, if so, what the hell will it take for you to see it?! You have all the proof you could possibly need to see what is happening, which is more than they had “last time.” What the fuck?!
