There were some things that came easily to me in high school math - working with planes in geometry was one of them. I always assumed it was because my brain is so out there that visualizing was easy for me.]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 15:30:56 -0400<![CDATA[Beege Welborn]]><![CDATA[Academia]]><![CDATA[Artificial Intelligence]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Education]]><![CDATA[Science]]>https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2026/08/17/when-even-basic-fractions-are-a-math-problem-too-far-for-college-students-n3818072<![CDATA[It's not unheard of for a conservative to "commit to the bit"—forcing an issue far past the time when anybody should plausibly take you seriously—but for lefties, it is one of their primary tactics.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 14:40:08 -0400<![CDATA[David Strom]]><![CDATA[Academia]]><![CDATA[Jason Smith]]><![CDATA[Liberal Media]]><![CDATA[Media Bias]]>https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/08/17/racism-did-not-kill-jason-arday-n3818074<![CDATA[No matter how much of a disaster you think the WNBA has been lately, the geniuses at the League are determined to prove that they can make the problems worse.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 13:00:58 -0400<![CDATA[David Strom]]><![CDATA[Sports]]><![CDATA[Transgender]]><![CDATA[Woke]]><![CDATA[Women's Sports]]>https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/08/17/dont-say-sophie-n3818069<![CDATA[Nine months ago, David had one of his 'Youse gots ta be kiddin' me!' posts here, which seemed to be just another sign the apocalypse was getting closer.]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 12:00:56 -0400<![CDATA[Beege Welborn]]><![CDATA[COVID-19]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[FBI]]><![CDATA[Massachusetts]]><![CDATA[Dominican Republic]]>https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2026/08/17/strength-in-diversity-tab-keeps-increasing-lawrence-ma-edition-n3818068<![CDATA[Shot:&nbsp;]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Ed Morrissey]]><![CDATA[Gaza]]><![CDATA[Hamas]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Oman]]>https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/08/17/mixed-signals-or-taqqiya-hamas-pledges-disarmament-as-iran-plots-wider-war-n3818065<![CDATA[Pedro Sánchez, God willing, will lose his reelection bid and take his socialist party down with him.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 10:00:39 -0400<![CDATA[David Strom]]><![CDATA[European Union]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Spain]]>https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/08/17/socialists-destroy-everything-they-touch-n3818066<![CDATA[The family that spits together, sticks together?&nbsp;Michigan has it bad enough with Abdul El-Sayed.

Brolin, whose character is a studio fixer named Eddie Mannix, grabs Clooney and begins slapping him. The Marxist spell breaks. Clooney snaps out of it.]]>Sat, 15 Aug 2026 13:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Mark Judge]]><![CDATA[Communism]]><![CDATA[History]]><![CDATA[Hollywood]]><![CDATA[Marxism]]><![CDATA[Movies]]>https://hotair.com/mark-judge/2026/08/15/the-ecstasy-of-the-young-communists-n3818017<![CDATA[Just how much longer will Democrats keep Hasan Piker on hand?
