If you feel compelled to spend way too much money on this book, you can now spend slightly less money!

People aren't serious about their calls to "abolish ICE."

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

I’ve spent the whole year thinking about the Buffalo Sabres

Remembering The Viceroys lead singer Wesley Tinglin who was born on this day in 1942. The Viceroys scored hits in the 60s, 70s & 80s. From Sir Coxsone Dodd to Sly & Robbie. Here's a rare rocksteady 7" from 1968... youtu.be/YjuDnDPf17U?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky

dreaming of a day after these horrors end. it is coming. we will win.

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

The reason for the season… youtube.com/watch?v=VCzl...

A better framework is to address the broader project of AI to displace interpersonal contact, thought, negotiation; and to normalize this project. This aspect of AI is essential to the economic agenda that it underpins. 2/n

Ethical AI is an oxymoron, like automated science

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Hundreds are getting trained to help with school safety patrols to protect kids and families. It's really something.

Coming to Buffalo tonight!!

“Never trust a professor who makes their grad students pay for their own food or coffee.” -the immortal Chris Krueger, sending me off to grad school

I think that's part of why I'm so shocked that someone can't see how political this is. You know real life people whose grants were canceled and that money is likely being repurposed to fund you.

Looks like a dream gig! Apply!

Education colleagues: I am partnering with middle- and high-school math teachers in DE, PA, and MD to look at how belonging-supportive instruction shapes students' math experiences (see infographic). Teachers can participate in 2025 or early 2026. Please share w/ teachers who may be interested!

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Love to my Canadian pals - that’s brutal

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Reading this paragraph--written by the editors of Wired, the most well-known tech publication--at BOE meetings in districts rushing AI seems like a good idea. Ask why they are treating children like guinea pigs while pretending they can predict a future those most knowledgable about tech cannot.

"So it's more than a little embarrassing to see schools – primary, secondary, higher education alike – embracing "AI," parroting the industry's marketing at the expense of their actual mission statements..." 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/now-is-the-t...

literally me in every faculty meeting 😭

Geno got someone on the bench raptured with that grand slam

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI. I hope this will be helpful to those educators wanting to push back on AI mania.

The thing that bothers me so much is not the “we have to enforce our borders and laws.” We do. It’s the giddy joy and celebration they have at the misery of people far less fortunate. Always punching down

Just like Jesus taught...

Too often, tech creates logistical problems that disrupt learning. My 6th grader's school, for ex, uses Chromebooks for everything. But the kids haven't learned typing, so work takes longer than by hand. And they often forget to charge the devices at home, so class gets wasted trying to plug in.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk and the pundits and politicians sanitizing his legacy.

The UN report makes plain what so many families in Gaza have been living through: the deliberate destruction of Palestinians. We have a moral responsibility to stop enabling this genocide and hold Israel accountable.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

So we're like MASK OFF levels of mask off now, huh? lmao

The Supreme Court bans affirmative action in university admissions but is okay with racial profiling on American streets. That pretty much sums up white supremacy--heads I win, tails you lose, all legal.

This is really important. As with so many other things, the solution can't be robustly funded public higher education, because that would benefit *others* too (see Heather McGhee’s The Sum of Us). so the answer has to lie in the fact that *too many* people are getting education

You can tolerate a low national bar for education etc. as long as your kid is getting “the best” of it, and is most likely to get into the school that gives them the “best” chances. Think how different that is than fighting for better, more affordable schools for everyone
