I thoroughly despise that I cannot opt out AI for any software tool or resource. It is annoying like mosquitoes. At least there are sprays and such for getting rid of mosquitoes. Or, to misquote Lady Macbeth, "Get out you damned AI! Get out!" #AI

Seems to be a @GOP "let them eat cake" kind of moment.

I know this phrase is taken out of context of Jamie Dimon's speech, but what does he even know about the education system? Stop talking about things you don't understand. ". . .an education system not aligned to the skills we need."

Delighted to have been able to chat with @mssackstein.bsky.social and @crystalfrommert.bsky.social about learning and using AI as a tool. #Edusky podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Prayer has always been in school. HOW one prays is a different story because Muslims, Jews, & others have different rituals. But no one can stop anyone from praying from their spirit & that is true for ALL religions, not just the one implied. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

This US Men’s Tennis match! Wow.

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

Thinking about community and human flourishing, two things we seem to be struggling with these days, as I prepare for this semester. open.substack.com/pub/ejrobert...

Let me sum up: The purpose of education is to learn how to think critically. I submit the education system has failed catastrophically. open.substack.com/pub/ejrobert...

Think of #Gloo as highly intrusive with little to nothing to do with building biblical community in the Church. www.technologyreview.com/2025/08/19/1...

I appreciate the sentiment, I do. But wouldn't it be amazing if companies just really meant that they value their customers and acted accordingly? Then the federal government could do more than run interference for customers. www.fastcompany.com/91381962/cla...

Yea, we knew that. It's been dead for a while now, so thanks for catching up. Y'all think AI is going to take care of everything, but you don't seem to pay attention to why customers call customer service &

If you are a high school #teacher, think about reading this book & finding a way to use it. Protagonist is 16. Could be accessible to some 9th graders.

I'm a moderate Republican #NeverTrumper. I keep hoping some members of the GOP will snap out of the cult haze. I despair of Dems doing more than posturing & writing strongly worded letters. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov It's great optics to give long emotionally-wrought speeches,

I'm not surprised. I don't see this getting much better any time soon. www.businessinsider.com/older-americ...

Just so we're clear, @hersheyco.bsky.social: The price of chocolate may go up by 10% and packaging may shrink, and that means we'll be paying 10% more for less. Got it. www.today.com/food/news/he...

I'm a writing & literature teacher, but let's do some math anyway. The CBO tells us that Tr&mp's big bastard of a bill will add $3.4 TRILLION to the already projected deficit of $21.8 TRILLION, all over the next decade.

So there’s this. #colbert fortune.com/2025/07/23/p...

I just wonder if this is okay with the oath to defend the #Constitution. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

1. Nearly everything the current administration does or has done will have catastrophic results for many. 2. While government efficiency is an admirable goal, mindless wholesale cuts are the opposite of optimizing for efficiency. 3. No media, mainstream or otherwise, can cover every catastrophic
