I think I previously mentioned that Dustin replaced Get Fuzzy in my daily “big four” comics rotation. I still have GF in the extended hopper. However, in March, I think we’ll 3 years without a new panel. So, as the title might suggest, I’m leaning towards de-hoppering the odd trio, having already added a more up-to-date replacement. Decisions!

Barring an emergency, this concludes this Saturday’s posting.

education, gifted and talented, NYC, schools

NYC prepares to end the closest thing it still has to public education.

New York City will phase out its program for gifted and talented students that critics say favors whites and Asian American students, while enrolling disproportionately few Black and Latino children, in the nation’s largest school system.

Starting in the next school year, the city will stop giving 4-year-olds a screening test used to identify gifted and talented students, according to an outline of the plan released by the city’s education department on Friday.

In all honesty, they are beginning to run low on children who qualify anyway. If your three-year-old in one of the few, then HOMESCHOOL and/or (preferably “and”) leave the city.

decline, technology

A quarter of a century ago, I had a primitive computer connected via the telephone line to the primitive internet. I did not have a cellular phone. All of that was faster, more reliable, and better than the whiz-bang bullshit I have today, and by “today” I literally mean on this very Thursday, 10/7/21, here in my rapidly declining third-world swamp that I am really starting to hate.
